Does the UK’s experience with Brexit, where they were legally allowed to leave, give you pause for thought that you may have vastly underestimated the problems secession might cause?
Yes Texas has a large economy but a good chunk of that is Federal institutions Defence, NASA etc and the companies that support them. The rest is also US companies.
The Texas economy would take a catastrophic hit even if it was allowed to leave peacefully.
Defence, Texas would have none as the DOD would leave and take everything with them.
As I said I don’t support them leaving but I also don’t live in Texas. I think one of the rights of the people is to decide if they want to stay in a union. It is a check against a tyrannical government.
As I pointed out, that would be one of the concerns. American companies would have to decide if they want Texas or America.
DOD wouldn’t be able to take everything. Texas owns the National Guard.
This is something Texas has talked about for years. I think it is just talk.
