re: #135 A hollow Gandalfian voice says, VOTE, you fools!
Beg to differ. CA has about 12% of the US population, and it’s getting hard to govern. Consolidating some sparsely populated states is probably a good idea, but 12 is, IMHO, too few. (You and I won’t live to see it either way, of course.)
It’s probably hard to govern because parts of it belong in a few natural districts, not one accidental state.
