California certainly marches to the beat of a different drummer. They treat the federal government as a rival fiefdom, setting their own environmental laws, their own immigration laws, their own fuel standards -- as if the seat of power in the United States was in Sacramento.
On Friday, Governor Gavin Newsom will present the state's budget for the next fiscal year. In it, he will propose that the state of California sell its own brand of prescription drugs in order to "increase competition in the generic drug marketplace and lower the cost of medications by having Sacramento contract drugmakers to manufacture certain prescriptions under a state label."
"Greedy pharmaceutical companies"? According to a study by Tufts University released last year, it costs a drug company $2.6 billion to bring a drug to market. There is no "greed" when pharmaceutical companies -- whose innovations and research save countless lives every year -- need to get a return on that massive investment.
Be that as it may, California is carving out an independent role in health care that does not bode well for the rest of us.
While the proposal is still in the conceptual phase, the plan is in line with a number of executive orders Newsom signed last year

They definitely don’t want to succeed!
Depart from us, oaves!
Just leave the beaches and vineyards.
Only the north and south ends of it.
Flyover places like Fresno (home of FreeReplic) do not.
Bye-bye!
Continue the WALL with a northward turn at the Cali border.

I want to secede from California.
Didn’t the US fight a war with and pay money to Mexico to get that land? It’s ours.
How about we rescind the Enabling Act that made California a State, and make it a Territory?
could we please?
Blah blah blah blah BS.
If CA secedes I will be on their side because I believe in states right’s and the right to secede at will. State-ist thugs need to take note.
That map’s not bad, except it’d be better if it went a little further north to include SF in California...and don’t include the name “California” on the North or South areas. Actually, call those areas California, and the other one New Sanctuary.
Credit where credit is due: Jim Carrey is Canadian.
So a tiny country like Israel can survive but a huge state like CA could not on its own? LSD should not to be taken in the morning friend
CA is connected to the other states in a huge way. They get megatons of water and electricity from other states, and the Federal govt has military installations all over the place.
For sure-THEN they can get ‘foreign aid’ when the big one hist
Is California bankrupt if you factor in all of the civil service pensions debt?
Why would they want to secede..? They would collapse without the rest of the U.S.
They will anyhow..but in the mean like they can pretend they are Royalty.
The California economy would probably be worth $4 billion quickly.
No water. No power. Any business of substance will move to the US — along with any military bases or defense industries.
Good luck to California with their withering ag/slave labor industry.
I just don’t think so. The net federal funding for California is $12 per resident with a total revenue from the federal government at $436.1 billion, the most of any state in the union.
Food prices in the state would skyrocket. Food, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the state’s agricultural crop value would be effected as shipping would be more difficult and shipments would be considered international shipments, rather those that cross state lines. And the U.S. government would be required to impose tariffs, passing the costs directly to consumers. This also includes dairy as they are the second largest dairy producers in the country behind Wisconsin.
New country taxes in the ex-state will have be ignited to replace the federal lose of business and tourism and to cover tariffs that will be imposed. Millions of jobs will go. And can you imagine needing a passport and a visa to go to Disneyland?
The US will remove their federal jurisdiction so military and federal parks will be removed leaving the costs for the state to replace the loss in income at all locations, 32 in total for the military alone. Along with that is the federal protection and funding for military support and federal prisons.
So it is obvious that financially, when they are already in trouble, they would go tango uniform within the first year and they would become the third world country they wished to become with an open border.
Succeeding would be moronic. They are committing suicide. And they know it. Their threats, that can’t happen anyway, are just as much an empty threat as taking the impeachment up to the senate....it is just BS and dead on arrival. And even those flakes aren’t as stupid as they are greedy.
