What happens when a state runs out of money—but the people still live there? Streets crumble, schools shut down, hospitals disappear, and crime fills the vacuum. In this video, we're diving into 10 U.S. states that are already on thin ice and would be the first to collapse if the national economy crashes. These states rely heavily on federal aid, have struggling job markets, high poverty rates, and aging infrastructure that's one bad quarter away from falling apart.

From Appalachia’s slow-motion free fall to sunbelt states propped up by overhyped industries, we’re breaking down where things could get ugly fast. If you’ve ever wondered what a real economic disaster looks like at the state level, this is your warning sign.

If The Economy Crashes 10 U.S. States That Will Collapse First

World According To Briggs May 12, 2025 11:22 pm

Things are a little... chaotic in the U.S. lately. You’ve probably heard the wild headlines: “Should the U.S. buy Canada?” “Take over Greenland?” “Reclaim the Panama Canal?” But here’s one that’s been bubbling under the surface for years—what if states actually started breaking up with America?

It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Texas has been flirting with secession since before it was trendy. But picture this—what if Minnesota just up and peaced out? Moved the border 10 miles south of Albert Lea because they decided they’d rather have cheaper prescription meds, universal healthcare, and Tim Hortons than fireworks and AR-15s?

So, would people really be down for this?

To find out, we ran a nationwide survey asking 500 people in every state: “Would you want your state to leave the United States and join another country?” And if so, where would they go—Canada, Mexico, Japan, Greenland, or maybe somewhere in the EU?

Now, full transparency: a few states didn’t get enough responses (looking at you Alaska, Louisiana, Connecticut, and West Virginia), so they didn’t make the cut. Everyone else? Ranked by how many people out of 500 said “Yeah, let’s leave America.”

There is a lot of turmoil these days in the United States. Talk about buying Canada, taking over Greenland or the Panama canal, and even talks about some states wanting to leave the US. This is nothing new, Texas has been talking about it for years.
But Imagine if it really happened, like if Minnesota decided to jump ship and change the border 10 miles south of Albert Lea because they realized they like cheaper medication and Tim Hortons more than the 4th of July and guns?
Would the residents actually be on board with this?
We did a survey asking 500 people in each state would they want their state to leave the US and join another country? If Yes, would it be Canada, Japan, Greenland, Mexico, or an EU country?
It took a few months to get 500 replies from each state, but in full disclosure a few states didn't get to that 500 so they were eliminated. Those were Alaska, Louisiana, Connecticut, and West Virginia. This video is ranked by how many votes to leave out of 500.
