Why the fuck are so many people moving to Texas to work and live?

They are against everything America stands for. No worker's comp. Forcing the Bible reading into public schools. Allowing pregnant women to die in hospital parking lots. Extreme heat and lack of infrastructure to deal with increased climate chaos. Ignorance of which killed hundreds of people including girls in a church-run camp ground last year. The place is a polluted fossil fuel nightmare running out of water and a hurricane magnet.

But yeah, paradise for Big Bidness.

(no offense to the many liberals and Dems who live there - I also live in a Deep South Hellhole - trying to get out)
