I thought Missouri loves company.

    When your largest city is called the neighbouring state and your name is literally misery

    St. Louis essentially is another state. I love going to the publicly-funded zoo.

    Also, Nebraska. Omaha is right on the Eastern border. The only other towns are along the interstate, spaced about a tank of gas apart.

    I guess Joplin or Branson would be the only other options, but I haven’t lived there in years.

    KCMO does not want to be in another state, because it is far, far superior - and older than its Kansas counterpart, which oddly enough is named after it.

    That’s right.

    Kansas City, KS is named after Kansas City, MO

    Yep. The Kansas River was originally named after the native Kansa (or Kaw) tribe. Then the city was named after the river. Then a while later, the state was also named after the river and the other city was named after the first city. Clear as the muddy river.

    We made it illegal to be homeless here btw. Not many people know that.

    They should declare an armed war of secession...not from the United States...but from Missouri! Let them become the free cities of the prairies, the free cities of Kansas City and St. Louis...two new city-states on the planes!

    For legal purposes, this is not an endorsement of acts of literal treason.

    That is like the entire United States honestly. The land is perfect. Geography is amazing. But the people are just horrible.

    Wait, so Kansas City's brilliant idea is to join fucking KANSAS!? Like...from the Dorothy tornado? Careful what you wish for, Kansas Citites.
