You're getting downvoted for being needlessly snarky and constructing a strawman to insinuate CA is somehow hypocritical. Which states besides CA would you describe as "autonomous" vs not? A Federation of independent states unified under a federal government is kind of how the whole U.S. thing works, no? You also seem to be trying to make a political statement. Should a "red" state like TX not request disaster relief funds (say, after a hurricane) if a Democrat is president? Also, keep in mind that 57% of forests in CA are Federally managed. Only 3% is managed by the state. |

It is - or at least the leadership is in almost every respect. Politico-turned-economic elites acting as egalitarian champions is par for the last 30 years.
Life-long Californian here.

Massachusetts, for a start, since they don't just talk about what they are going to do. You should visit.
The reality is that the CA representatives routinely declare that they are not going to abide by federal guidelines. Ostensibly, that's the autonomy being referenced.
Totally ignoring the poster's intent and swapping in your own bias as their content is outright trolling. If you don't understand (or can't imagine an interpretation that makes sense) it's rather civil to act in good faith and ask for clarification. SMH
