Yeah but the potential company doesn't like it back.
When your largest city is called the neighbouring state and your name is literally misery
TBF, Kansas city was named first by 4 years. Also, for the most part, Kansas isn’t really any better than Missouri

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.
Major cities pop up around interesting geographical boundaries (like rivers) and that's also where the state lines were drawn, I'm guessing. It's why NYC is trying to get into NJ as well.
Pshh... too much thought put into a meme
I won't let your grumpiness get in the way of my info dumping. Move along you sour blob of text.
Yep. Kansas City and St. Louis are both located at the confluence of 2 rivers. KC is at the Kansas-Missouri confluence, and St. Louis at the Missouri-Mississippi

I visited St Louis for the first time recently, and oof. Yeah.
We made it illegal to be homeless here btw. Not many people know that.
It's clearly a moral failure to not own property.
Next they'll make it illegal to know that.
When one of your biggest cities is named after a different state
Kansas City existed before Kansas
Cuckssouri
Also, Nebraska. Omaha is right on the Eastern border. The only other towns are along the interstate, spaced about a tank of gas apart.
Because major cities sprung up along rivers. And they split states up along rivers.

It's a shame too, beautiful state, people ruin it
That is like the entire United States honestly. The land is perfect. Geography is amazing. But the people are just horrible.
There's good ones, but current events seem to be revealing that there are far fewer of them than I had thought.
There are a few very lucky small towns which are pockets of leftists in the middle of gorgeous American nature. You just have to really look for them.
Beautiful mountains and plains, gorgeous unspoiled rivers, four varied and enjoyable seasons, and some of the dumbest motherfuckers you'll ever meet.
As a Missourian, yeah I can't blame them. I want out too
St. Louis essentially is another state. I love going to the publicly-funded zoo.
Yet my proposal to St. Louis City Council to open a publicly funded human zoo keeps getting rejected year after year!
As an Illinoisian, I love your free zoo too.

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.

Wait, so Kansas City's brilliant idea is to join fucking KANSAS!? Like...from the Dorothy tornado? Careful what you wish for, Kansas Citites.
Got halfway out of Kansas into Missouri and realized it wasn’t any better. Resigned themselves to being stuck.
Other way around. Kansas City, MO existed before Kansas City, KS.
