A loud minority of Texans call for Independence, which is not really possible as far as I know, BUT could the Rest of the USA just kick another state (Not necessary Texas) out? Or is this also not possible?

    I think you are missing a ton of Fortune 500 companies Headquartered in Texas… Dell, Oracle, Tesla, Exxon, HPE, Charles Schwab, Texas Instruments… No state has more Fortune 500 HQ’s than Texas.

    Texas is a bunch of big blue cities surrounded by cattleocracy.

        Lol, this was in response to the current state, tax revenues vs Federal expenditures, Texas is one of the few red states with a net positive balance, and is not just cattle. In pure numbers, Texas has more Democrats than all but a few states and their revenue is heavily driven from their cities and oil infrastructure. But, they’d be destitute if they seceded.
