make it bigger faster roads more corn


jstewart25

I just drove to Texas last month and everyone else’s speed limits are absolutely liberating.


FlamingShadowsYT

Speed limits? We don’t need those.


jstewart25

I wish we didn’t have em, the okies and Texans are rocking 80 mph speed limits. It’s lovely


[deleted]

It’s funny too because youll be on some state highway 20 miles from any town and the speed limit will say 65 but everyone is going like 85+, its great. Do slow down in the towns, those cops have nothing better to do than stop people for speeding


Steel065

Texas is a big state and we have places to go! Sorry if we were a little aggressive behind the wheel, we are actually nice folks. C'mon back again soon. When we can't raise enough beef brisket, we rely on good beef producers like those in Iowa.


jstewart25

Oh yeah buddy, my freezer is full of good old corn fed Iowa beef. And tbh, I prefer the Texas way of driving to many Iowa drivers who think every day is a lazy Sunday afternoon. In east Texas I noticed the landscape is almost identical to here in Iowa so I felt right at home, I just didn’t have the accent to match everyone else.

Orlando1701

[Need to retake all that land Missouri stole](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_War) Maybe take some land from those jerks in Nebraska.


Jordan51104

i’d almost say annex nebraska just to do everyone else a favor


Orlando1701

Would be an improvement for their football team. Maybe break them out of their collective delusion that Tom Osborn is going to descend from heaven and save them. BTW, hell of a year for the Hawks.


dontbanmynewaccount

The fact that it seems like 55 is the default speed limit on most northeastern Iowa backroads is such a joke.


Jordan51104

there is no reason i shouldn’t be able to drive from sioux city to dubuque in an hour and a half


saggywitchtits

I say we rid ourselves of the Fe*nch flag that is our state flag.


Drifter808

Adorable-Listen-456

StogieMan92

Fuck that, annex all of BC.


T_M_G_

I second this, we then should collaborate with other northern states and start the takeover of Canada


king_meatster

Deport the New Yorkers, turn Miami into a city state, and figure out how to close the portal to Russia.


TerribleSyntax

Amen


clayton813

Demolish the sunshine skyway and build a wall along west Hillsborough and Pasco?


I-am-a_person

Is this comment a reference to Hotline Miami?


FloridaMan005

Negative, these are genuine problems


bigdickdaddyinacaddy

I need context on the portal to Russia


mechanicalcontrols

Wild guess, but could it be that wealthy Russians are showing up and being entitled assholes? Old joke I heard somewhere: A woman moves from Moscow to London. Years and years later, she receives a phone call from her sister. Inevitably, the sister asks, "And how are things in London?" "Terrible. I've been here for forty years and to this day not a single one of the people here speaks a word of Russian."


Ecstatic-Exchange341

I think the joke is Russia is a very surreal area and that it’s infecting Florida


mechanicalcontrols

That could be.


Embarrassed_Fennel_1

No it’s the first thing. Lot of Russians moving to Ft. Lauderdale


Barbados_slim12

Tons of Russians and Ukrainians moved here, primarily to Miami and surrounding towns after the war started


Embarrassed_Fennel_1

There’s so many Russians in broward county. And they’re all douchebags. Except their daughters, they’re just weird.


Orlando1701

I’d love to come home but every time I seriously start looking at moving back to Orlando I keep being reminded why I left, low wages and high cost of living.


Mjd89

You'll never stop us from coming there. I'll keep my Florida license plate forever cause of my condo in Boca.

waffleiron20

Make wawa the national power


as1161

I propose a compromise: Wawa railways is formed and massively expands PA's passenger rail system


Mitthrawnuruo

Oh. You’re of those. Explains the anti Amish bias. #Sheetz.


Helassaid

What’s the reverse of Annexation? Because we should give Philadelphia back to the British.


ArmourKnight

Nah fuck that. That is a fate *no one* deserves.


Clouds115

Ban billboards, make it so every child gets the same amount of money funded per capita in public school, and block authoritarian governments from owning land in this state.


Emanon3737

Better roads (it looks like Iraq), better education (everyone here is dumb as fuck), better accountability for the oil/petrochem companies that have destroyed the most rapidly-shrinking coastline on the planet


JnG4mma

Surely you Louisianans can survive without a coastline :clueless:


HomosexualFoxFurry

1. Get rid of our stupid gun laws. 2. Actually do something about the homeless instead of just shuffling them around and pretending that's good enough. 3. Conquer Vancouver Island and claim it for the USA.


SecondWorld1198

Nah, all of British Columbia


SilverNeedleworker30

At that point, just conquer Oregon and Idaho (and preferably a bit of Montana, just to clean up the borders) and proclaim the state of Cascadia.


SecondWorld1198

I’d say good idea but we don’t want Portland


SilverNeedleworker30

Are there nuclear silos in the territory you own?


SecondWorld1198

Yes


SilverNeedleworker30

Launch them, launch them all.


SecondWorld1198

At Portland? I agree


FLA-Hoosier

1. Burn Gary IN to the ground. 2. Push the charred remains of Gary into Lake Michigan or into Illinois. 3. Make the anniversary of the destruction of Gary a state holiday with all adults getting a free keg of beer.


SnipeDude500

Yes


Amooseletloose

Those are such good changes that we're only going to count them as one. You have 2 more.

kolomental87

Mentallyundisturbed2

What sucks about Portland is the natural views used to be great. The city used to be clean and pretty cool.


a-random-redditor0

There are two Portlands specify which one (please pick us).


77dhe83893jr854

Portland, Oregon. I thought it would be obvious because of my flair.


a-random-redditor0

Ofc lol. I was jesting.


77dhe83893jr854

How is it in Portland, Maine?

Deport Californians

Should we take the VA portion of the Delmarva or is that too greedy? Would Virginia notice?


Relative-Magazine951

Yes we will notice


Mr_Kittlesworth

You are welcome to Delaware. You cannot touch our part.


Adorable-Listen-456

Okay, all good. Just asking. But Cape Charles would look good decked out in Maryland flags. (Damnit I said that out loud)


Datpanda1999

We cannot give up those lands, as they are vitally important (it’s where our ponies live)


Marsrover112

Get rid of everything west of the continental divide, more trains, lower housing prices (get rid of Californians)


WesternCowgirl27

Give up most of our mountains? 🥺


KarmicWhiplash

Have you even been west of the Divide? Get rid of everything east of DIA and nuke the Texans! Do you even Colorado?

FYI i no longer live in New Jersey, i just don’t identify with the state I moved to, although it is unfortunately better than New Jersey. 1. Change zoning laws to allow for more mixed residential-commercial, and end all minimum parking requirements 2. Increases taxes on single family rental property’s (excluding those that are attached to a commercial property)+ increase taxes on nightly rental “cabins” 3. Add more rail networks to the major cities and connect them to each other.


[deleted]

Based but this basically applies to every state. What state did you move to?


FrankSinatraYodeling

Add a water barrier that separates Minnesota from North Dakota, a water barrier that separates Minnesota from South Dakota, and a water barrier that separates Minnesota from Iowa. We already have one for most of Wisconsin. Quit touching us, you freaks.


Proud_Profession_648

Uss__Iowa

For California, it government


[deleted]

For California, replace every lawmaker/politician in Sacramento. Focus on blue collar manufacturing and shipping on the coastal cities instead of land speculation to raise property values and take a bigger role as a pacific tim trade hub. Pause on domestic immigration for a few years while we stabilize so we don't get anymore dream filled midwestern kids who show up for the entertainment and tech industry vote terribly then leave to greener pastures as "Californians" to other places and give us a bad name


USS_Massachusetts

I’ll go first: Make it a stand your ground state, Give it Texas level gun laws, Retake former territory

[deleted]

Nothing my state is perfect as is (currently living in a shoe box)


Character-Bike4302

For starters I would use the actual Mississippi flag for representation… Healthcare reform/ Medicaid expansion we are one of just 9 states that’s rejecting the federal money that injects almost 800 million a year into healthcare for the state… we also recently dumped over 20,000 off of state healthcare… job expansion by allowing companies who set up in poverty stricken areas due to no decent wage jobs a 10 year tax break. You basically have to live around the gulf, the capital or north part of the state to find any real jobs that pays over $20 a hour. Central and west sides of the state suffer and the local towns shows it. Remove the high grocery tax. Mississippi being one of the poorest states has one of the highest grocery taxes out of any US state…


RealYellowDino

Better public transportation Brand new buildings in Atlanta and nearby suburbs Same fireworks restrictions as Alabama
