20. I wasn't being sarcastic.

Do you see the sarcastic gif here? I thought it is a nifty idea. There is nothing to stop us. If we wanted to create a "pathway to statehood," we could set it up.

I'd really like D.C., Puerto Rico, and all other US territories to be offered statehood, for starters. I am not an economist, so I don't know how it would go for taxes and fixing them up, etc., but I favor any advantage it could give them, like expediting disaster aid, etc., or whatever.

But, only if the people living there want it. It would have to be whatever they wanted, including the possible split from being our territory and becoming a separate nation.

I didn't mean to offend you. Sorry. I have a dying cat on my lap, and I shouldn't have posted so briefly. It's just that I was taken with the idea of Biden calling a press conference and just announcing that everybody is in who wants to be. And, that would be very distracting. I thought it was funny!
