Let them leave. They aren’t worth the trouble at this point. They barely grow any ag, they don’t provide much to the economy, and they have the highest levels of incarceration by multiples and the worst quality of education. The US would be closer to Sweden in most metrics if we got rid of the south.

That’s like… 20 states. Who are we going to exploit if it isn’t the south?

  In what way does the US exploit the south in particular?

    That's not the United States exploiting them. It's their employers exploiting them and them not unionizing because they've been brainwashed into thinking unions are bad.
