And you have some really weird misconceptions about how the economy works and who has real power.
Just twenty five thousand farmers could kill this country if they were committed to a two year plan of deliberate non participation in the economy.
A hundred million people would die.
Is this good? No, of course not.
But it illustrates who has real power.
Modern society has lost sight of reality. The reality is the red states have virtually all the cards and they aren't playing the game like they are.
Natural gas comes from red states. Shut off the pipelines and the north dies. Gasoline comes from red states. Shut off the supply and the north can't move.
how many walmarts, targets, starbucks, gas stations, mcdonalds, burger kings, and the like are there in Texas
And you think there won't be those businesses in secession?
Business doesn't care about politics.
Most of those businesses operate on a franchise model. That means the business is not "national walmart" or "national mcdonalds" but rather "Houston area restaurant chain operator".
In secession, that won't change.
For example, in Des Moines, all the McDonalds are controlled by Raccoon Valley Parners, which is an Iowa based investment group that controls a bunch of restaurants... in Iowa.
