We could swap out Texas for Puerto Rico and never have to change the flag.
I think California and New York should just take over things and say unless you want to starve or go back to the dark ages, step in line and do as we say.
Texas would fair pretty well as an independent state, imo.
They do have the Port of Houston, oil, cattle, etc. They have a low 6.1% unemployment rate. If they could get treaties with other states in the Union, maybe they would be ok.
There would also be a flood of high achievers like me who move there and build up their industry. And they would not go alone. They might blaze the trail, but if they went, there are a lot of surrounding States that would follow.
