Break up the union for what purpose? To win a paper battle over standard of living? Sure. Turn Connecticut into a country and you'll win the standard of living battle. I have a feeling Compton, CA isn't going to be too successful, though.

You're trying to be snarky over the fact that a mini-nation of 5,000,000 has a better average quality of life than the dominant world power, with a population of over 300,000,000. I don't understand why that's a revelation.

First off, Compton isn't really a state. It's a state of mind.

Second, what's with the rampant defeatism? So because we have a bigger job to do than Norway, it's just impossible? But I thought we were vastly more powerful and wealthy than any other nation on the globe? I thought we were the most ingenuous people on the planet?

We're not. You know it, that's why you defend this status quo as tolerable if not palatable.
