  • Also, charging interest on a loan would be illegal.  A fee could be charged for the service but it would have to be a reasonable compensation for the work that went into servicing the loan.  That would preclude 30-year mortgages and even 5-year loans would be highly unlikely.  Because they would be too risky and would tie up capital for too long.  But short term loans would still be feasible.

  • The vote would be taken away from women.  Too emotional.
    One hundred years ago, women couldn't vote.  Are we better off now than we were 100 years ago?

  • Contact your state reps and senators to support, or draft a bill for, secession in your state.

    You might be surprised to discover how many men have become reduced to emotions in all of their decisions and actions.  Check out some of the excuses for men on CNN and MSDNC.  All those men and women who voted for and campaigned for wokeness instead of substance: those are not examples of reason triumphing over emotion.
    Just saying that the circle is wide.

  • It's hard to imagine the US armed forces going in and fighting millions of armed Texans, especially with all the other problems this country has these days.  
    That is nothing new. History shows that they send in military from another country ( the UN or China) or another USA region that dislikes Texans, like Mexicans or New York city. Send Alabamans to New York and New Yorkers to Alabama or Mississippi.

    It's, ahem, interesting to contemplate what kind of reception that troops from New York would receive in Alabama and Mississippi.  Them's country boys down there, and they do what country boys do.

    I've always said, if a foreign power were ever to attempt to subjugate the United States, the first thing they'll have to do, is annihilate everyone south of Cincinnati and east of Albuquerque.  Dixie and Greater Appalachia don't play that.

    Atlanta is a great big blob of outsiders plunked down into the middle of the rural South.  Ditto for Charlotte.  (Due to the universities and research facilities, Raleigh/Durham/RTP is kind of its own thing, always has been.)

    Yup. Very good point. 
    A lot of men have been un-manned.

  • It would be too awesome if they did, which is why they won’t.

    The same fear that has Texas going along with the COVID19 scam, is the same fear that will keep them from declaring independence.

    South Dakota on the other hand...

    Hope Texas and members of the Old Confederacy give it another go.

    My home Alberta has a growing independence/secession movement party that continues to grow in popularity.
