The “Texas Miracle” loses some of its magic as Oracle announces it’s moving its new HQ out of Austin and Tesla lays off nearly 2,700 workers.

    Houston is beyond trans-Floridian levels of humidity, that’s true. DFW can be humid to people from dryer places, but it’s very much not Floridian and generally dry enough that, for instance, sweating works how it’s supposed to. El Paso is literally in a desert.

      As someone from the northern Mississippi basin y’all are crazy to live there. I’ll stick to my wet cool climates. I can handle the frigid weeks and the snow isn’t that bad

        LOL, the weather is really not so bad, and after living in a Montreal winter for several weeks, no thank you.

        Politically, the biggest of the assholes want the rest of us to leave, which makes me want to stay more. These motherfuckers will not steal Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt and Molly Ivins and Anne Richards and Chopped & Screwed and Tejano and Tex-Mex and delicious motherfucking brisket from us.

        I still believe there is a better Texas, though I concede there will never be a perfect Texas.

          I feel that as an Ohioan. I’m here half out of spite and half out of inability to find a job in the northeast or Chicago.

          It’s a hellhole here, but it’s my hellhole and we were supposed to be a purple state that matters none of this fashy bullshit. Fuckin hell these confederate flag waving motherfuckers better get the hell out of the home of John Brown and Ulysses Grant
