I used to make flight hardware for the Shuttle program when they actually were a space program.
At this point they're worthless.
And guess what? You also don’t have the best cancer center in the world. No better than the ones here up north.
We all say/think we have the best. Trust me your doctors and technology are not better than anywhere else.
Feel free to look it up.
Some say your cancer center is #2 not #1
Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center, New York City
2 University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston
3 Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota
4 Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center, Boston
5 Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland
So bfd. I would hope/assume every cancer hospital in the country has the same care. If not what does that say about the state of healthcare?
You're telling me University of Michigan doesn't have a good cancer hospital? Ridiculous.
So then what does Texas have? It has Cancer hospitals and Lyin NASA. Not much.
The majority rank it #1.
It's also the new silicon valley.
4 Reasons Why Austin is America’s New Silicon Valley
Austin has been liberal for a long time, and out of step with the rest of the state for almost its entire existence. Austin was pro-Union during the Civil War (as was Sam Houston), for example, while the rest of the state’s population was solidly Confederate.
There are a number of reasons for this. First, the Hill Country (and Central Texas in general), where Austin is located, was settled not only by the more conservative Scotch-Irish who settled in the eastern parts of Texas most closely aligned with the Old South, but also by Germans, Czechs, and Poles, most of whom were differently educated than most Texans of the time, and many of whom were freethinkers (agnostics and atheists) who came to Texas to escape the political and religious tyranny of their homeland. There is even a monument to these freethinkers of the 1840s-1860s in my brother’s hometown of Comfort, Texas, which was for a long time the only atheist monument in America.
In addition, the state chose Austin as its capital and the home of its namesake
University. (Texas A&M, built with the federal largesse of the land grant acts, is actually older than the University of Texas, but its original purpose was more narrowly focused.) The University of Texas, being one of the largest universities in the world in the 20th century, attracted an international academic crowd that was, typical for academia, more diverse in its beliefs and thus by necessity more tolerant of different ideas than would otherwise be the norm in a former slave state.
