Showing Original Post only (View all)If things get so bad that Calexit becomes a serious option, is water CA's biggest vulnerability? [View all]

Could California really go it alone, or would the US force California to stay by threatening its water supply?

There will be no Calexit. It's literally stupid to talk about it except to say Russia is behind it.

California alone has a population that equals Canada's population. "Build a pipeline" is not a plan.
