    There would be significant economic disruption for all parties. People seem to think that’s no big deal, but it is.

    Are you willing to lose your job because someone gets a hard-on when they see a picture of the Alamo? People that are brave on the internet will say that they’re fine with that, but in real life they don’t actually want that.

      Legal Eagle did a video on this and brought up some interesting points I dont see very often.

      1. What happens to all the Federally-Owed land and military bases in Texas?

      2. What happens to Shared assets like the gold on Fort Knox?

      3. What happens with the National Debt?

        Yes, if there were a hypothetical US military base, hypothetically called Fort Sumter, where there’s US military stationed in a state that hypothetically seceded, how would that play out, hypothetically speaking? :P

      My job security would improve tremendously if we fought a war to keep them, so I’m trying to keep that from biasing me.
