How Will Calexit Work?

Will it work at all? Depends on how you define it.

Old NFO has written a short story (which may or may not turn into another book) on the near-term effects after California withdraws from the U.S.

I find it compelling, realistic, and quite probably likely.
One Year Later
Vice Admiral Matt Clayborn, Commander, Third Fleet, winced as he heard and felt a very large explosion. It rattled the windows in the office, prompting cheers from the staff that echoed down the hallway in the old administration building at NAS North Island. The snatches of conversation he heard meant somebody had finally tried to access the bunkers at Coronado. Obviously they hadn’t succeeded. He thought, I’m just glad Rita isn’t here to see this. She called herself a California girl, loved the beaches…
It didn’t seem like it was only a year ago that Calexit had finally happened. Everybody said it was much ado about nothing. Except it wasn’t, when the reality of the split hit both sides. ...

Go thou, and read the whole thing. It's worth the 10 minutes; you can trust me on this.

I trust it was worth the detour, Ed. :)
