Splitting Up The Union

Sacrificing The Great To Save The Small

Hey everyone! It’s your good friend Andrew (Panama) Godfrey here with the last update on this mini-series I’m doing on making America great again. On this special final update I’m going to propose probably the most radical idea ever conceived. For such a radical idea I’m abstaining from going much into depth and not using any outside sources. This will be purely opinion, nothing more. In one fowl swoop I plan to change America for the better. This idea is so radical that I bet most of you readers will think it is a joke but, just to clarify, I’m dead serious. This idea of mine is not original and I don’t claim it to be. There is actually a book published about this very topic. However, I’m going to keep this short and sweet since we, Americans, all love short and sweet things that are easy to read.

This idea that I have is about splitting up the “Union” that we have so graciously made into the corporate wasteland it is known as today. That right, split up America in about 7-9 provinces or “pieces”. Now this may be radical to some of you but I promise it is possible to do. All the details on the plan are online, a whole slew of them really. Actually I just read that a Russian political analysis predicts it and I’m sure others do as well.

Around now, you're either not reading anymore or you are curious if this idea would work. The short answer is yes, splitting up America would actually be very beneficial for the union as a whole. With each province having its own government, they are smaller and thus it is easier for government to be aware of what is going on and, also due to smaller size, governments will be able to listen easier. Also, every province, if divided correctly, will have all of the natural resources and such in order to be a completely self-sufficient state within itself.

So there is my opinion: let’s split up and make it a little easier to fix the problems that are plaguing this country.

Expect a new format once this gets posted, a little more upbeat. Please share this blog with any friends or

family that have some doubts on the way things are done around here. As always this is Andrew Godfrey signing off and telling all of you to have a great day.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
