To become separate we will need support. I know that New England is looking to separate from the union and will probably offer us support. New York needs to remember our neighbor Canada. If we help them, they can help us when the time comes. Until then what is a good way to offer Canada support. Especially now that the Feds want to take them over

So it might be controversial- if we seceded, wouldn't we lose wall street. how would we still become a viable country if don't have that. Or is the plan to be a place like Singapore. Small country but lots of money and start our new wall street? trying to understand how we survive without our main economic engine.

How would health care work in an NYExit? Would it be universal coverage or a mix of public and private

New York is a large state with many Blue areas but also a lot of Red. Does anyone think that the residents living in the more rural Red areas would want to separate from the rest of the country?

We're screwed over by the feds just as much as these regions, and we have our own distinct New Amsterdam/Midatlantic culture.

We should have our own homegrown Independence movement, but we don't. You don't see it upstate, downstate, Jersey, or anywhere else for that matter.

I know it takes time and effort by actual people to create progress like this, but we're so behind on everything and we have very dark days ahead. We don't have a party, a publication, or any visible community outside of Reddit.

What should we do?
