My plan to eliminate New Jersey
At work today, I brought up my plan to eliminate New Jersey. I hadn’t thought about it in awhile, but I figure it’s worth telling.
No, I don’t mean to literally wipe the state off the map. I’m talking about removing New Jersey as a legal entity.
Here’s how it would work. Everything south of New Brunswick would be annexed to Pennsylvania. Everything north would become part of New York.
While we’re at it, we can make New York smaller. It would be Northern New Jersey, New York City, and Long Island. Everything north of Westchester would become a new state, which I would call “upstate.”
Yes, Upstate would struggle financially without New York City. Yes, auto insurance rates in New York would skyrocket. But other than that, isn’t it a brilliant plan?
