Well, Joe Biden is proving to be just as incompetent a POTUS as some of the more witting of us predicted he would be over a year ago -- before he was elected.
Joe, our 46th President, is doing an excellent job of demonstrating he is the worst POTUS since the 39th, "Jimmy" Carter [1977-1981].
If Joe keeps up at this pace, he stands an excellent chance of demonstrating he is our worst President in a Century ---- i.e., since the 29th, Warren Gamaliel Harding [1921-1923].

D. Spencer HinesWell, he got the hell out of Afghanistan - a good start - and he might
Lux et Veritas et Libertas
be the instigator of fortress America, the way it was before WWI.
I suppose he hasn't the balls to annex Mexico and the like and raise a
wall across the isthmus of Panama.
And Alan Greenspan is still at large! Remember 2008!!
And he added few trillion of paper in the USD. The USD would
dissolve in water now.
Still, Sleepy Joe might follow the medical dictum of "do no harm" and
hand the diminished presidency over to some successor.
This successor might do the proper things like...
1/ Merge most states.
2/ Biometrics at birth; and apply to immigration.
3/ Raise tariffs.
4/ Dump income tax; instead raise consumption taxes.

Hey, welcome back.
Well, he got the hell out of Afghanistan - a good start - and he might

What? This was Trumps policy, both GTFO of Afghanistan and returning
to the days of fortress America, especially as it related to trade and illegal
mass migration, neither of which Biden gives a shit about, especially the >illegals pouring over the southern border.
This successor might do the proper things like...
1/ Merge most states.
2/ Biometrics at birth; and apply to immigration.
Oh I can see a biometric database being created but not to halt illegal >immigration but to keep tighter control over legal American citizens.
3/ Raise tariffs.
LOL, no. Once again, it was Trump and ONLY Trump who was harping
on the outrageous trade imbalance between the U.S. and China (and
other nations).
https://i.postimg.cc/gj6RXn2D/China-US-trade-deficit.jpg >https://ibb.co/GT2s7pq
Biden and the others are all in Wall Streets pocket and will continue
the retarded policy of Free Trade as it profits the 1%ers who butter
their bread.
4/ Dump income tax; instead raise consumption taxes.
The Dems have been and will continue to push for more taxes but these
tax increases will fall on the working class, (as always) while the 1%ers
are given loopholes.
Bidens latest plan is requiring banks to flag ANY transaction over $600
and send a notice to the IRS.

Merge most states.
Yes. Isn't 52+ states far too many? Duplication of services
must cost a lot of money. Maybe 10 states would be enough.
Oh I can see a biometric database being created but not to

legal American citizens.
Exactly. Americans have way too much freedom. What is REALLY
needed is progress & stability. A biometric database would
really upset the Wall St sharks & their tax avoidance activities.
And fingerprint company directors as well because their as guilty
as Satan.
4/ Dump income tax; instead raise consumption taxes.
It is income that's rorted. Point of sale (expenditure) taxes
are harder to avoid.

We have had something similar for ages, only it is about AUD$10,000.

Silly question from a non-American but legally whose permission would
be required to divide or merge an existing state(s).
Obviously the state's permission (presumably expressed by referendum)
- and if a merger both states involved. Presumably also the federal >government's since such a move would impact the number of federal >representatives in both houses. (But again - which body(ies) would be >required to vote for a new state or merger of two existing state? HoR? >Senate? both? presumably not the president acting alone)
Anybody else? Is there in fact an existing constitutional procedure to
do this?
The experience of Virginia and West Virginia is not I think relevant
since at the time Virginia was a state in rebellion and the counties
that formed West Virginia were solidly against secession which is a
unique circumstance I would not expect ever to be duplicated.
I understand how a state would be added (and heard all about AK / HI's >joining the Union from my American dad - who actually at one point had
a 49 star flag) but Puerto Rico and very unlikely DC are the only
currently potential states.

Well, Bismarck did it in 1870.

Bismarck won a war with France. Surely you're not suggesting THAT as a
method of bringing about a change in state boundaries?
Any other potential states? I don't think American Samoa has remotely
the needed population.
And I don't the rest of the Union is ready for TWO Californias!
(That's partly a serious partly a joking comment)
You mentioned Bismarck - did you know that Kaiser Wilhelm II was the
arbiter agreed to by both the UK and USA to set the boundary of the
Alaska Panhandle between the US and Canada? True.
We still liked Kaiser Bill in 1903 :)
https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/alaska-boundary-dispute
The timing is important as Skagway AK was an important supply route
for prospectors to the Klondike gold fields in the gold rush of
1897-98. The dispute had smoldered for 20+ years but with the
discovery of gold it was clear that "SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE" (tm)
and Britain "persuaded" Canada to get serious about it.
141W was and still is the boundary north of 60N since forever (Russia
had declared it to be the boundary from the beginning) but the
boundary of the panhandle had been a bit iffy mostly due to the
geography of the area.

Yes these things are born from settlements after wars, such as the EU >realignment after the 30-years war. It might be argued the USA is
recovering (we hope) from the financial disasters of the past 20
years. After the trillions spent on wars and economic currency
watering there must a case for the greater efficiency state
consolidation would provide.
