I thought Texas was all about individual choice / responsibility. /s.

Now government overreach, apparently.

It's been getting diluted by the Californian diaspora. Also, I wouldn't put it passed the People running things who brought us the ERCOT disaster to also have managed to make a time bomb out of this. The medical infra down here is garbage compared to the rest of the country.

Interestingly though, it'd be Texan as hell to make the most of them Fedbux. Tell you what.

Are you high? This is all Abbott. California immigration has nothing to do with the BS we're going through. Governor death only cares about free enterprise when it's in support of religious right wing ideologies and will gladly stifle businesses that don't follow his perverted version of conservatism. He's a trump thumper with eyes on the white house and thinks personal choice is not something to afforded to the left, the center or the moderate right.

You know, I expect we’re both going to get downvoted in this thread, but I love that you called him “Governor Death.” What he’s doing is mind-boggling.

I gladly accept the -1. I've been in Texas for a while. I don't plan to stay. It isn't safe or sane here. Between gerrymandering away people of color, preventing businesses from mandating masks to promote public safety and taking away women's rights, that pice of sh*t seems intent on making this place incompatible with non god testing white men and the women who blindly accept their station in that life.

(I can't take credit for the nickname. I think I picked it up from some ATX native DevOps folks.)

> The medical infra down here is garbage compared to the rest of the country.

My experience in this extremely large state is limited, but I know that the medical infrastructure in Houston is the best in the world.

> Houston’s Texas Medical Center is the world’s largest medical complex by several measures: number of hospitals, number of physicians, square footage and patient volume.

> Scientists at TMC-affiliated institutions, most notably Baylor College of Medicine, Houston Methodist, and MD Anderson are advancing life science breakthroughs across dozens of research centers and more than 300 research laboratories.

And that's just the Texas Medical Center.
