I agree that Texas is actually pretty good in most categories. However the fact is though that it’s not really a Red State. It’s essentially california in many ways but just run by a Republican faction for various reasons. The fact is the lifeline of Texas is the blue cities which bring in the most in terms of quality jobs, education, etc. And it’s the po dunk small towns that have the worst to offer but yet hold the most electoral power.
The greedy ba*tards could care less about other people's life or health. They call that communism to lift up the poor or provide affordable healthcare. Why distribute wealth when you can make 400 times more than the people working for you? Capitalism baby! Screw you misfortunate dumbasses.
Except as we’ve seen with cases in Texas where a fetus is stillborn or is dying putting the women’s health at risk where an abortion might be needed to save the women’s life and doctors are loathe or unwilling to do it. But right it’s only because Democrats want to kill babies. Howabout this since you’re all for federalism. Let’s allow military personnel the same ability as other citizens to make choices for themselves about which states they want to go to get what treatments they want.
In that ranking Minnesota where Democrats not only control all statewide offices, both houses of the Legislature and has passed several progressive laws has moved ahead of Texas as business friendly.
All of us have a connection to Texas in some way. I haven’t lived in Texas for more than 20 years but I still follow things there. I don’t fault him on that.
Not sure you want to go with education: Texas is ranked 35th in quality of education overall, and 37th in PreK-12: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education Other ranks: 28th: https://www.intelligent.com/the-best-and-worst-states-for-education/ 38th: https://scholaroo.com/report/state-education-rankings/ 41st: https://wallethub.com/edu/e/most-educated-states/31075
It's just as sad when a state prioritizes all aid and funding to business owners over the workers rights, work safety, wages, and healthcare. There's a problem when you lead the nation in people who can't afford healthcare, put mental healthcare on the back burner, have an epidemic of opioid abuse, and don't do enough to get these addicts help and treatment, and have some of the worst long term care for elderly in the nation.
They already have that freedom. The bills in question are about giving them leave or money to travel to get abortions that they wouldn't get otherwise. Nothing is stopping them from traveling on I know very little about Texas, nor do I care. I was giving context to the video (and @Andre0087 who posted it agreed that was the context of the video). @Major claimed the guy was accurate because he was talking about best states to live in, not best business environment, to which I pointed out that many of the other categories also affect best state to live in. Other than pointing out that looking at only one category had the misleading effect of switching Texas from 6th to 50th, my comments weren't about Texas at all. You people are free to love or despise Texas as much as you want. Again, my comments were not about Texas. I don't care about education in Texas. The very thing I was talking about ranked Texas 35 in education (which you should know, since you linked to it). I was giving context to the video, because what the guy said didn't ring true to me. I went to the source and yes, he was actually only talking about 1 of the 10 categories measured.
Yes, then I was responding to yours. Apparently you missed the portion where I explained that I was talking about the context of the video, and not trying to defend Texas or whatever.
I remember when the republican party stood on principles focused largely on economic issues. Instead, this is today's republican party...
Is she actually acting like this is a bad thing? FDR and LBJ rank in the top 10 Presidents. Oh, those poor MAGA fools must be so confused now.
Wow your post shows how uninformed and ignorant you are about how jobs are created. The reason the large cities are blue is largely due to large, low income blue-voting communities in the inner cities. Who do you think is creating the jobs? Hint: it's not the low income communities. And you're celebrating the inner city schools? You're very close to landing in the same bucket as astros123 and poor deb.....people who don't meet my intelligence threshold to earn a response from bigtexxx.
