In the capital of Arizona – with extreme temperatures that can reach 122°F during the day and don’t drop below 90°F at night – life is almost impossible. If blackouts were to knock out the air-conditioning, nearly half the population could end up hospitalized
There is no chance of balkinzation or secession of California unless the entire USA falls or splits. CA is the 5th largest economy in the world. That amount of wealth would never be allowed to leave. It’d make the entire South seceding look like a trial run.
Not that they’d really try without a dissolution of the Constitution first. They’d probably just start passing laws that ignore the Constitution and federal laws and then dare the fed to intervene. Would still need a massively weaker fed, though.
People keep saying this. They’ve been saying this for decades. Other countries keep having bigger problems first, I think it’s just because you see all of America’s dirty laundry while virtually all other countries governments take more steps to control the flow of information.

Not all of the US is hell; I hear the future New California Republic (once they balkanize, expect it within our lifetimes) is nice.

That would be what balkanization means.
I agree that they’d never be allowed to seceed, and I don’t think they’d ever try. But America is a burning building; eventually it will collapse
