Conservatives making Texas the armpit of America

[Zincwarrior]

Like I said a long time ago TEXAss is the armpit of America.

Look at all the mass shootings in this shit hole. Forget succession we should kick them out. They can’t protect Americans. I feel bad for the people of Texas but they have to chose better leaders or it will continue to degrade from where it is today.

Texas mass shooting timeline: 14 years of violence in Texas

Texas has seen nine mass shootings over the last 14 years while lawmakers have steadily loosened restrictions on carrying firearms.

You misperceive. Texas let you join...us. Your technological and biological distinctiveness will be adapted to service...us.

Not Ukraine, due to Russians, but Texas, due to crumbling infrastructure - burst pipes. More evidence Texas is an armpit:

Crews in Odessa, Texas, were scrambling to restore water Wednesday while 165,000 residents in and around the city had been without drinking water amid sweltering heat after a pipe broke this week.

The city’s water taps lost pressure and went dry after the 24-inch water main ruptured Monday afternoon, according to city officials. The Ector County Office of Emergency Management declared a state of disaster in the city, saying there was an “imminent threat” of “severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property.”

Dude pipes break. Pipes break when its 105 degrees in the shade. Water pipes are a local matter.

A once proud state is shambles and is a shell of its former self. The right wing nuts in Texas are virtue signaling themselves to death. Literally 111 people died in the winter storm because Texas wants to sell its soul to the right. But recently it’s been even worse. More infrastructure problems in electricity, healthcare nightmares, flood management problems and the list goes on. Instead of fixing problems the states leaders are in Cancun, or on TV or fighting fake culture wars. Anything but running the state of Texas.

To borrow a phrase from the great statesman Donald F Trump “Sadddd”.

Just in the last month:

1. Power grid is FAILING for the second time - first from cold now from heat
2. Infrastructure is failing in Texas
3. Flood control disaster risking crops
4. Hospital staff is more focused on conservative virtue signaling than healing and being safe
5. Governor wants to build an unpopular wall to virtue signal rather than fixing healthcare access as communities losing their doctors
6. No permit gun laws enacted
7. Voting right restriction campaign
8. Fighting racial imbalances of a skewed justice system that has nearly 80% of death row inmates

Texas storm damage exposes failing infrastructure

Several apartment complexes are repeat offenders.

It’s a community of 150,000 people vs your example of 700. Nice. This is just another reason among the many in this thread about how shitty Texas is as a state.

Is that why Caterpillar, a 51 billion company, is leaving Illinois and moving to Texas?

California is just fine thank you. Texas is cheap since it sucks. It attracts people for value.

Actually it’s 1200 people and the town is 85% Hispanic, but thank you for confirming what most of us already know. Democrats don’t actually give two shits about poor brown people. I guess that’s why they are starting to move towards the Republican Party

There are 100X’s more brown folks in that Texas town suffering from the shithole way the state is run than that rural town you’re somewhat obsessed about in CA.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I'm sorry, who has the obsession? You created an entire thread based upon your partisan bias towards Texas. I didn't do that. I merely replied with a more than fair comparison. You implied that Texas is this big shithole because it's run by conservatives, yet you don't seem to have much criticism for Democratic controlled California that has parts of it literally resembling the third world. Using your logic, the Democrats are hands down responsible for that. Why so angry, bro?

 

[Sunsettommy]

Meanwhile Hispanics are trending to Republicans.

In my area they have strongly changed to republicanism over the last 10-15 years after they realize they can have their own businesses and expand all over the place without a problem in the Republican dominated region.

They dominate the use of recreation facilities in the region with no trouble with the few whites and the rare blacks who visit them.

It balances out the California and New York threads nicely I think.
