If the military was being deployed before for so little reason then hold on to your butts, the entire US military will be thrown in to the mix and California will be treated as an occupied state in no time if they touch the money.

Doubt they'll be paying much taxes if everyone is a prisoner in their own homes

I would like to leave this here as a warning, because it seems relevant to me.
While I agree, I think that's a better comparison to the LA protests and the National Guard being called in. An entire state government "going rogue" (and the support that they may or may not have from the other states) is in a whole other class, especially when you consider the legal framework that separates the powers of the state from the federal government. It's closer to Brexit than anything else, imo, but even that doesn't truly match up with the intricacies of the power struggle since the members of the EU have their own militaries instead of a unified military under the governance of a body separate from its member countries.

There is no way Newsom has this much balls. There is no way he could possible be this based.
Right? Golly, I hope he proves me wrong.

Ok, this is an idea I had after reading numerous comments on this post. You're all asking how this would work ... hear me out.
California declares its own currency, the "California dollar". Wages earned in California dollars wouldn't be taxed like US Dollars.
There are some issues to work out; I think the IRS does tax your foreign assets ... some ... but I think that this scheme could work.
Economically, it would be an uphill battle. The US dollar is strong because it's backed by decades of sound monetary policy (that will go right out the window when jerome powell's tenure is up) and a AAA credit rating for treasury bonds (that will disappear when the Republicans in congress finally drive us off a cliff) . A Californian dollar would be untrustworthy for a while as its central bank would need time to build trust
