Gas, other fuels are top U.S. export
Measured in dollars, the nation is on pace this year to ship more gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel than any other single export, according to U.S. Census data going back to 1990. It will also be the first year in more than 60 that America has been a net exporter of these fuels.
Just how big of a shift is this? A decade ago, fuel wasn't even among the top 25 exports. And for

Did it ever occur to you the low wages could result from our need to deal with a half million illegal immigrants a year coming here? Mexico shoots dead the immigrants coming over their southern borders to escape Marxist countries in central America. Texas gives them jobs, school, hospital care, etc. We don't turn people away, but we get criticized because it changes our statistics which Democrats use to prove their frivolous imaginings could be fact. It doesn't do that.Jealous much? Bet you really hate the fact that it's a conservative state.

Texas is near the top (if not on the top) of job creation. Many, many companies choose to relocate there. And why is that?
A lot of it has to do with the low wages in a RTW state. There are simply more people willing to work for sub-standard wages.
Another reason is because of their Workers Comp laws that heavily favor the employers at the expense of the workers. The more they screw the workers the better the profit margin for companies.
Last year a Texas cop was shot point blank by a shotgun while on duty. A helicopter was called to get him the fastest transport to the hospital which may have saved his life. Yet the Workers Comp insurance said the helicopter was not "medically necessary" so the cop would be responsible for the cost.

Screwing workers increases the profit margin of companies in Texas so I can see why companies want to relocate there. And I don't blame them. But I'm shocked that the voters there would continue to stand for it.
