If this ever happened, the new state would be even more of a tax haven or credit card zone of interest than Delaware or South Dakota.

It would become a Próspera (libertarian special economic zone in Honduras that their government now trying to remove) within the United States and immediately be set upon by crypto miners and libertarians.

The existing residents would violently revolt against the fact that their rural communities now have real estate speculation, raw sewage in the rivers, and black bears in the streets eating garbage.

Nintendo could pay the salary for one retro gaming hardware restoration YouTuber and they would be able to restore and set up every single console within months

An entire wing of the museum could show how they restore the old consoles, replace the capacitors, use new or new old stock chips to replace failed ones, de-yellow the console plastic, etc.

What they did do was not pass any laws, nor even form a committee to investigate it, and then pass on the "solution" to for-profit companies that go into schools and give 5 year olds PTSD after the "drills" they make them go through.

Doorbells. I had to replace a relative's doorbell recently and the old one that lasted 60 years was built 10x better than the incredibly cheap model that all the hardware stores carry.

The options are either a cheapo doorbell that has an LED in it for no reason, a Ring surveillance doorbell, or a very expensive reproduction doorbell sold on some random website.

The Wagner group logo looks like it is from a made-up enemy country in a video game.

If I had a billion dollars I would simply never drive myself, and I would not ride in a Tesla. It's the same car that techbros drive and has a subpar safety record.

A lot of celebrities used to drive Priuses as the eco-friendly choice back when it was new, and I didn't read anything about them dying in crashes. But Priuses don't have the acceleration of a drag racer or quality control problems.

Men would literally rather maintain a seed ratio for private trackers and operate a seedbox than pay for movies.

There is an RSV vaccine available for pregnant mothers and those over 60 now. It is expensive in typical Amerikkkan fashion, and I'm not sure if it has been approved for infants yet.

Brazilian foreign minister, to the Russian foreign minister at the BRICS summit:

"Would you like to buy more of our Embraer planes?"

Anyone that watches the local TV news in the US watches a broadcast that is about 50% crime reporting. They also use the cops wording to describe the events, and oftentimes a police PR freak will be on the TV talking about what happened.

This is even in mid-size cities for "crimes" that don't deserve coverage, but "The atomic unit of propaganda isn't lies, it is emphasis" and Amerikkkans are constantly blasted with it.
