For you Walnut. Opinions on the future of Oklahoma. Grab the wave?
I overlooked this post MoBoy. He made some good points, but I think that he underestimates transport out of Oklahoma. I'd say that Tulsa has good rail access, and why knock truck shipping? We look for flatbed trucks every week, and luckily the Oklahoma lanes are pretty good because there is enough industrial freight available to entice truckers to come into the area, they don't have to fear getting stuck with no loads out. Many places are worse. And, Tulsa has the Port of Catoosa, which is a cheap if slow way to ship ocean freight out. Manufacturing in Oklahoma is on par with Texas generally, especially in the areas which Oklahoma works on. Big industrial heat exchangers, oil and gas equipment, metal fabrication. Oklahoma will always be a poor sister to Texas but Oklahoma is doing fairly well, especially by European/world standards per capita. He may have more awareness of the OKC situation, in some ways Tulsa is a little stronger. Oklahoma workers tend to be conscientious and diligent, I would not hesitate to locate manufacturing in Oklahoma. In fact it would probably be my first choice worldwide.   |

I've gotten a feeling from a number of people here that if/when Texas secedes, we're hoping Oklahoma comes with us. "Y'all belong with us, not them." |

Yes please just say the word, many in Oklahoma are hoping to follow along. Texoma Republic will have one of the world's largest economies. |

Minus the big cities I think you might count on them too. And you too Blu.  Everything north of the south DC suburbs is a Woke Anglo-Saxon abomination (WASA). |

Everything north of the south DC suburbs is a Woke Anglo-Saxon abomination (WASA). The cities and the governments. Millions of Americans are behind enemy lines because of jobs, families and other reasons. There’s a lot of red on the election maps. Urban vs Rural culture nation wide. |

[ Snip ] Texoma Republic will have one of the world's largest economies. You will need a better name Walnut: Texoma sounds too much like an oil company. You wouldn't attract intelligent people like these:  |

You might have a point, Ratty. The name is more commonly known as the sprawling lake on the border between the states. You probably already knew that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Texoma |
