Americans believe that the United States may break up into separate states

61

The United States of America can split into individual countries, according to a forecast published on the website of the Mises Institute analytical center (Auburn, Alabama). The study has an opinion that issues of immigration, abortion, and arms rights can be resolved decentralized, even if the states are divided into smaller administrative units or even leave the United States.

A single state is losing its appeal, especially in individual demographic groups, such as Hispanics. A similar number of young people have similar views.



States administering their own immigration systems separate from any national policy, have now become the norm, as the practice of refuge cities or even the whole of California shows. Some states have also tapped into foreign or monetary policy, proposing that gold and silver become legal tender, as well as seeking to deter their own National Guard forces from engaging in unconstitutional wars.

– noted in the publication.

Currently, states or territories (such as Guam, Puerto Rico, or the Northern Mariana Islands) cannot declare independence unilaterally. However, some entities, such as the Philippines or the islands of Palau, previously successfully managed to secede from the United States, becoming independent states.

              In 2019, it was sold in Russia (1) 759 532 new passenger and light commercial vehicles, which is 2,3% (41,1 thousand units) less than in 2018.

              https://www.autonews.ru/news/5e1d98d59a79473f3baa2e4b
              According to GoodCarBadCar, sales of new cars in the United States in 2019 amounted to 17 млн., which is 1,6% less than 2018 (detailed data for 2018 can be found here).
              In the first place Ford, which sold 2,3 million cars, which is 3,7% less than a year before. Toyota followed by 2,1 million (-2,0%) and Chevrolet 2,0 million (-3,8%).

                And you are unlikely to see. For several reasons. First, this is how this market works. For Americans, cars are much cheaper, the market is oversaturated, the local consumer, so to speak, is "gagged", and Lada is a completely different price category, so to speak "budget". Secondly, all sorts of Cadillacs and they are not sales leaders, local manufacturers lose to the Japanese, Germans, and so on. To make a good car, you have to look up to them, not the Americans. Which is hardly possible in the short term. The same Japanese, Koreans and Europeans dominate our market. Starting a new car brand from scratch is not an easy task. Maybe, of course, something will develop on the basis of Aurus, but it will not be soon. Third, mutual trade between the US and Russia is scanty. Our manufacturers are allowed to enter this market as a last resort, and they are extremely not interested in the development of our auto industry. If you remember, in due time even "Opel" was not sold.

                Somehow it’s undemocratic, maybe there is at least one representation?

                Soon there will be no sales offices left at all.

                  Cadillacs and they are not sales leaders

                  This is just understandable, privileged class cars. But on the other hand, starting in 1920, more than one car was released from the conveyors of the plant and there are not a few of them on the secondary market. And this is already the sale of aggregates and spare parts, not a frail market.

                  local producers lose to the Japanese, Germans and so on.

                  Of course, if the "yaps" and the Germans were to make products in their countries or America, the prices for them would be somewhat different, but often all these Toyota and Audi for the American market are riveted somewhere in Mexico. Concerns row money with buckets, bypassing their own compatriots, and the buyer also overpays.

                  Maybe, of course, something will develop on the basis of Aurus, but it will not be soon.

                  I don't think there will be problems with licenses for various units very quickly. If only the "invisible hand of the market" and the lobby will help them with cash and a good word.

                  and they are extremely uninterested in the development of our automobile industry.

                  This is quite understandable and understandable. Sometimes one gets the impression that no one is interested in the development of the domestic auto industry locally, in Russia. Otherwise, we would have been chasing the sixth or seventh version of the "loaf" through the salons and it would have looked no worse than the German Multivan T6.

                    Cars that have been off the assembly line since 1920 are mostly in landfills and museums, and there are fewer of them. This is the same as for us to start making spare parts for the Volga or Moskvich.

                    I don’t think problems with licenses for various units will start there very quickly.
                    If only the "invisible hand of the market" and the lobby will help them with cash and a good word.

                    Do you also think that Aurus was copied from other machines? What problems can be with licenses?

                    Sometimes it seems that no one is interested in the development of the domestic auto industry and locally in Russia.

                    The situation is not very different from other countries, and the automobile industry was not a priority in the USSR either. And who on the ground should be interested in the development of the automotive industry? The plant has an owner, let it hurt his head. While they are buying, they will continue to make them. Do not buy, production itself will cease.

                    Otherwise, we would already be chasing the sixth or seventh version of the "loaf" through the salons and it would look no worse than the German Multivan T-6

                    Comparing them, of course, can only be a stretch, but in fairness, the "loaf" was created for other tasks.

                        Until the age of 55, progress went by leaps and bounds in all sectors, and then only strategic ones remained.

                        Then nowhere is it all right if Western manufacturers do not invest in the development of their cars, they will face financial and other "troubles".

                        Scored in the search for "Maybach to buy". At the first link, the new ones, however, this is not quite the same, since 2015 the brand has been partially restored and now it is Mercedes-Maybach.

                        By the way, if you score in America, "Buy Lada", apparently, the result will also be 100%.
                        But the new Frets are probably not allowed into America, for a simple reason, they have a Russian passport.

                        Lada will not be in demand there, at least in its current form. Not only are they not waiting for Lada with a Russian "passport", but all the cars in general.

                        Until the age of 55, progress went by leaps and bounds in all sectors, and then only strategic ones remained.
                        And even now the situation is not much better, the Armata, Coalitions and other "phantoms" are sawing with public money, but the "loaf" is still the same.

                        Until 1991, the state was responsible for everything, now the situation is different. If released, it means someone is buying. Not satisfied? There is gas, the situation is better there.

                        Then nowhere is it all right if Western manufacturers do not invest in the development of their cars, they will face financial and other "troubles".
                        Believe me, they also have a "plan" and there is demand for it. Otherwise, for example, all these dances with euro 2, 4, 5, 6 would be of no use to anyone.

                        This is a slightly different situation, I believe that Frau Merkel doesn’t weigh them in the head.

                        Then excusable.
                        With a rear-wheel drive, all drivers can drive well, and modern machine drivers (not drivers) can only drive with the front, and sometimes it drifts.

                        Yes, there is a difference, but not much, it goes well along the highway. Much depends on rubber too. I still found "fatty". laughing We went and nothing.

                        With maybach you are right, cars rivet again, but exclusively for the markets of China, Russia and the USA.

                        ... Frau Merkel doesn’t weigh them in the head.

                        Naturally, but with the submission of certain structures that follow this.

                        Not only are they not waiting for Lada with a Russian "passport", but all the cars in general.

                        It was pure irony on my part.

                        Until 1991, the state was responsible for everything, now the situation is different.

                        Now no one is responsible for anything, although Automotive is not a medium or small business.
                        The state is simply obliged to "oblige" someone to work.

                        ... there is a difference, but not much, it goes well on the highway. Much depends on rubber too. I still found "fatty". We went and nothing.

                        The difference between rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive is huge.
                        In winter, the ice is already noticeable, and indeed.
                        If you don’t drive a rally and don’t get into extreme situations, you can never notice it all your life.
                        I have nothing against fatty, if the race is not to drive - it’s quite a rubber.
                        If, of course, put it on Maybach or X6, laughing they don’t understand.
                        Someone buys one set for all occasions, and someone has a set of rubber for every mood and nature (weather).

    From Wiki:
    Mises institute

    The Mises Institute exists to promote the teaching and research of the Austrian school of economics, as well as personal freedom, honest history and international peace in the traditions of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. These great thinkers have developed praxeology, the deductive science of human activity, based on assumptions that are undoubtedly true, and that is what we teach and defend. Our scientific work is based on Misesian praxiology and is consciously opposed to mathematical modeling and hypothesis testing, which created such confusion in neoclassical economics.

    Here's how FactWatchе evaluates articles published by the institute:

    They (articles) can use heavily loaded words (wording that try to influence the audience by appealing to emotions or stereotypes), publish misleading messages and omit messages about information that could harm conservative reasons. Some sources in this category may be unreliable.

    In short - the leftist Trotskyite (private) institute, which has the right to publish its own views on false information, which has nothing to do with modern life in the United States.

        In short - you are right, I am not able to change the editorial policy, and is it necessary? We must accept as it is ...

        Can you tell me by chance how the Mises Institute rates Radio Liberty?

    Again they post all kinds of conspiracy theories. What to expect from the Ludwig von Mises Institute, a liberal and libertarian organization. Libertarians generally have an extremely bad attitude towards the very concept of the state, and any state at that. In general, such "studies" appear regularly since the formation of the States, so what? They just have freedom of speech.

    I don’t want any country to collapse. Although in this world that just does not happen. Any decay negatively affects the situation in the world. The consequences of the collapse of the USSR are silent. Although you can’t imagine worse. And for us as well. How much money was spent in the USSR on the fight against terrorism. And how much now. But that’s not even the point. The most important thing has changed - trust between countries.

        Here, during the discussion, it suddenly became clear that the income level was seen as an obstacle, and there were no other clear objections. As for longevity, of course, patriotic, but life sometimes presents such surprises. In 1989, you know, everything seemed relatively safe too.

          All of the above is me!
          Life Story - We went from the USA with a “Russian” group on a Greece-Turkey tour. In Istanbul in the evening visited a popul. restaurant with the program “belly dance”. All long tables (for 20-25 people) end to the stage, and at the end of the table, which is to the stage, are the flags of the countries of the group. Swedes, French, Germans, etc. - one flag each. On our table is 3. Amer flag (we are from America), Russian (everyone speaks Russian), Israeli (all are Jews).

          They say a lot about the collapse of Russia, why not talk about the collapse of the United States?

          I honestly don’t know how to get out of the “union” under US and state law. The question, of course, is interesting, but a bit artificial.
          After all, Washington does not press states politically or economically - each state is economically independent, each state with its own constitution / court / police / elections and the national guard. And taxes / prices, etc., etc. So, if the state is poor, it will not blame the capital Washington. People will blame their own senators and the governor and they will be given a second ride.

          In 1989, you know, too, everything seemed relatively safe.

            I honestly don’t know how to get out of the “union” under US and state law. The question, of course, is interesting, but a bit artificial.

            Without heating the process from the outside, such processes are difficult to implement. In difficult historical periods, far from everything is done according to the law.

            After all, Washington does not press states politically or economically

            I also can’t say that Moscow was tearing someone off a thread or didn’t let him live, but many people worry, often from abroad.

            each state is economically independent, each state with its own constitution / court / police / elections and the national guard. And taxes / prices, etc., etc.

            This is a mine under the foundation, about the same as the right of nations to self-determination introduced by the Bolsheviks, so far so good, life flows along the track, if problems start, they will scatter like cockroaches, because these are practically ready-made separate states. This has nothing to do with the interests of the people, but the local elites ... just give them a taste of independence to try, it is difficult to reassemble the country.

            So, if the state is poor, it will not blame the capital Washington. People will blame their own senators and the governor and they will be given a second ride.

              Yeah, and now the main thing - so that the local elites do not gird up, then we must "release the leash" the press and justice! I read a lot of info from Russia and see that the press and the courts are “fed up”.
              An example of “us” - they chose the mayor of Baltimore (I do not participate - I live outside the city). A year later, the press found that he had given the contract for the repair of roads in the city ($$$ work!) To his relative. And there was no bid for the contract (must be). The press wrote, they opened a case, they gave the dude 1,5 years. Aunt was chosen in his place. After 2 years, the press found that she had written a children's book for preschool children, and preschool institutions were required to buy books. Everything would be fine if she herself paid for the print, bought up the print run and distributed it for free. But no - she printed for the money of the city, and for the money of the city she was children. Uchr bought a book. The press printed, opened a case, aunt got 5 years. Not everything is good in America, there are a lot of crooks, but there is a great chance of being caught and punished.
              And yet, how poor states survive. Below me is the state of Virginia.
              There are very beautiful mountains resembling the Carpathian mountains. And developed agricultural. From industry - coal mines. But coal almost ceased to be mined, the forest was banned to cut down many decades ago. How to survive the state? And the staff invested in education and Hi-Tech. In a small state with 8,5 million people, there are 86 universities and colleges with 4 years of education. Around the university there are many companies tied to bio / devices / computers, etc. In 2016, the state earned $ 36 billion, not bad for such a population.
              What do I want to say with this example? People are not stupid or suicidal - they can find and choose among themselves worthy and entrust them with management. And will control control. Everything is very simple... smile
