Upstate NY to be 51st state?

Move out of Buffalo/NY -> problem solved.

Would never happen… Even if they got past the state hurdles any new state has to be approved by 3/4 of states, the red states would want nothing to do with adding another blue state.

Ughhh

I think your missing the point…think of everything NYS owned/operated now start it over from the begining…

DMV, Thurway department, Police…

get a big U stencil and its done. Really it wouldn’t be that big of a deal reorganization happens all the time.

NYC already does things differently from drivers licenses to inspections…

X2… Even in the Auto and Homeowner Insurance world. Upstate New York and Downstate New York are completely different.
NYS is the most difficult state to practice insurance in because upstate and downstate are so different.

I think you are missing the point. It’s not like starting from scratch. The structure and organizations are already in place. If anything, NYC would have a harder time because they would have to establish a new capital to run everything.

You are not starting over from the beginning.

But… what do they call it?

New York … old york
North New York, South New York
New York, Long Island

:wtf: :bloated:

New York, New York DC?

x2

Did they talk about those things? What languages? :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol

NY and NY’

NYC can have the name New York. It’s tarnished from decades of political corruption anyway.

New York, New Taxes? (NYC)
New York (NYC), New Medicaid Plan?

lol

never happening

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can’t say, people just liked it better that way!

You weren’t alive then? lol

Let’s call it “The Quebec That Could”

(I hope at least a few people get this)

lol @ Paulo.

And have the Quebecois flipping me the bird every time I go home… I don’t think so.

Another thing that pisses me off is when I’m out of state and someone knows I’m from New York, they ask me why I don’t have the NYC accent.

Quote from when I was in Chicago: “That’s weird, you guys don’t sound like you’re from New York.”

:picard:

FUCK YOU NYC!

District of New York City?
