Rebirth of the Evil Life

WHY?

Why is this no longer solid?

"The original suppression of state governments by the federal government has gradually become stronger. Especially after the Civil War, states have understood that they cannot secede from the Union. Although there may be rumors of independence in some states during this period, most of them are just rumors." Clinton explain.

Then, Clinton pointed at Lin Feng.

"But now, the appearance of you, boss, has made the situation a little out of control!" Clinton said solemnly, "If the California referendum cannot be stopped, then the United States will face division!"

A term came to Lin Feng's mind: Pandora's Box.

"Once the referendum in California cannot be stopped, there will be one state that will bear the brunt and will definitely take the opportunity to demand a referendum, and that is Texas!" Clinton looked solemn.

Texas is also a weird state.

Texas was originally subordinate to Mexico, but later the Mexican government banned the existence of slavery, and those slave owners were dissatisfied, so Texas officially declared independence on March 2, 1836 and established Texas. Republic of Sri Lanka. The United States recognized the Republic of Texas, but Mexico did not recognize Texas' independence and announced that it would reintegrate Texas into its territory, but Texas maintained its independent stance and emphasized that the Rio Grande River was its border. Later British attempts to mediate the dispute were unsuccessful because Mexico refused to recognize Texas.

Faced with the heavy military pressure from Mexico, the Republic of Texas, unable to resist, had no choice but to join the U.S. federal government.

In 1845, after receiving a commitment from the U.S. government, Texas joined the United States and became the 28th state.

Because of these historical reasons, Texas has strong folk customs and Texas cowboys are famous all over the world. It is also the state with the most guns in the United States and the most opposed to gun bans.

"Texas has the second-largest economy in the United States, accounting for 9% of the U.S. economy, second only to California. It also has developed agriculture. If California accounts for the vast majority of agricultural products in the United States, Texas makes up for the rest. With these two states alone, the entire United States can produce almost no agricultural products,” Clinton lamented.

"There is another, more important thing, which is that California does not produce military industry. This aspect is rejected by California. However, Texas accounts for more than 70% of the military industry in the United States, and its energy resources also account for one-third of the United States. Moreover, the medical system is the best in the United States, "Clinton said, "If Texas also declares a referendum on independence, it will be really troublesome!" Clinton looked worried.

At this time, Abby Cohen looked at the computer in her hand.

"The latest news just now, the Texas state government also announced again that because it was coerced by the outside world and involuntary when joining the United States, in order to restore its independent voice and independent judicial power, Texas will also hold a referendum!" Abby Cohen also A worried look on his face.

Immediately, Abby Cohen turned the computer around, and everyone saw the Wall Street trend chart.

All stocks, except for a very few, of course those belonging to the Lam Feng family, fell across the board.

If both California and Texas seceded, it would have a huge impact on the U.S. economy. Although finance can be borderless and it seems that everyone is still together, if California and Texas both have independent judicial powers and become independent countries, it is hard to say what these two countries will do in the future. They took away almost all the agriculture, technological innovation, chemical industry, military industry, and medical industry in the United States. This is a serious blow to the U.S. federal government.

Naturally, it will cause serious damage to the economy of the United States and even the world.

"Then which other states may hold independence referendums?" Lin Feng asked.

"Also, the state of Hawaii, which is far away from the mainland of the United States and isolated overseas, has been clamoring for independence from time to time! Then, Lakta State, a state dominated by Indians, has also been clamoring for independence." Clinton shrugged. , "And Alaska, the northwest tip of the North American continent,

Because it was once a Russian territory, the United States did not establish a state in Alaska until 1950. Because of its barren land, there were never many people living there. Now, with a land of 1.7 million square kilometers, there is only a population of less than 720,000. "

The area occupied per person is really huge. But it’s normal. Alaska is such an extremely cold place, and few people are willing to live in such a cold place. it's too cold!

"Bill, there are actually so many states in the United States that want independence. I have to say, this is really democratic!" Lin Feng sighed.

"So, sometimes, our federal government will envy your socialist countries. You are an efficient centralized system. It is too easy to do one thing. But for us, it is too difficult to do one thing. Even if it is for people's livelihood, such as building a railway, it will take several years to complete the relevant reporting materials, such as damage to the soil, damage to the atmosphere, damage to the rivers along the way, damage to the ecological balance, etc. This is a huge waste of time. manpower and material resources." Clinton shrugged helplessly.

"This kind of democracy is sometimes a drag and a shackle. If you want to build a windy city, it can be said that no matter how much money you have, you can't complete it in as short a time as you can. There are too many things involved. Fortunately, you are Chinese, so there are very few restrictions on you. Otherwise, it would not be possible to build it in just a few decades!" Clinton sighed.

democracy? ! Lin Feng shook his head.

Of course, there is nothing bad about this kind of democracy. At least, the people will not easily fall under the control of a dictatorial government. Autocratic government also has advantages. But that completely depends on the dictator's own knowledge, vision, aspirations, and moral constraints.

This kind of restraint is too fragile. To put it simply, the cost of violation is too low, so often dictators, such as Li Shimin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although they were once wise and powerful, in old age, they relaxed and indulged themselves, and as a result, they wasted people and money, and even ruined their lives. A matter of national luck.

"So now, what should I do?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, no matter what you do or don't do now, in my opinion, you will attract huge criticism!" Clinton said, "No matter what you do, the consequences are unpredictable!"

"This has never happened before. Whether you support state independence or not, you have fallen into a huge whirlpool!" Clinton said, "And my advice to you is, follow your heart. Whatever you think is better, do it! This is my suggestion!”

Lin Feng was stunned after hearing this.

"Bill, is this the advice you give as a former president of the United States?" Abby Cohen scolded.
