We live in a sad time when a stunningly ignorant imbecile who believes he can can see children with “mitochondrial challenges” is in charge of public health, and this news post about vaccines can just as accurately be posted in a political sub.
Because of Trump and his worshiping morons 180,000 American’s needlessly died during the worst of COVID, but that’s not enough. Trump and his ilk want more people to die from diseases that were previously nearly gone.
Polio, Whooping Cough, Measles, and even Small Pox are now welcome in Trump’s America.
That only works for Washington and Oregon, if California is included a better name is the Pacific States of America or The Grand Republic of California.
Cascadia is named after the cascade mountains that cross all 3 states.

Sure if you’re going to include California you’d want to go with a feature that more than a quarter of the state has.
Why? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. What’s the “correct” cut off for inclusion in a mountain range for a state?
Seems like an arbitrary thing to say that California can’t be in Cascadia because only 190 of a 760 mile state have the mountain range in it.
More importantly, Cascadia is a fine name, even if it wasn’t attached to anything. A name that is pretty, distinct, and rolls off the tongue are all good features to have.
Wasn’t “Jefferson” another proposed name? Or am I mixing it up with something else?
No those are the whackjobs up in the Cascadian mountains themselves, basically they want to sheer off Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington, and Northern California and form what would be the single poorest state. Lots of fascists mixed in.
I’d say “they can have it” but that’s actually important farmland and invaluable wild habitat.
Gotcha
