Comment Make some sort of agreement with a "snowy" city (Score 1) 723

Wonder if it would be feasible to have some sort of agreement with a city that does have the equipment to come by and salt roads and Atlanta pays some kind of fee each year for help with upkeep. Though you probably have to go pretty far north from Atlanta to get to a city that's snowy. Might need to just have a collective or maybe the state or Georgia have them available.

How would that be different to what happened 200 years ago? The British considered the American rebels traitors and could have hung them. They didn't since the US also held British prisoners. What they did do was hold them in prison ship, in which many a prisoners died.

The two times that I know of that there was a rebellion in the US (Whiskey Rebellion and Civil War), an army was drafted and the rebellion crushed. Why do people think things would be different now?

If you have enough people to start a revolution, you have enough people to get people that think like you elected. I would think it would be much easier to get people to vote rather than take up armed resistance.
