Washington has a Tech problem in that we got a lot of economic migrants from the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Seattle has been shitlib as long as I remember, but that was like injecting shitlib directly into a vein.
That's why when I see Texas try to grow its own tech scene and recruit people/companies from the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, I get very worried for you guys.
It's also a permanent vote by mail state and so ripe for electoral shenanigans of the sort we saw in 2020. The state has a website where if you type in a person's name, DOB, and maybe one or two other pieces of info, you can fill out their ballot online, print it, sign/date it, and drop it off. And if you do that it invalidates the normal ballot they get in the mail.
Yea on one hand all the jobs coming in are a good thing but that also brings the people from those states who were with the company. My dad says republicans are going to have to play the democrats game with early voting
You guys need to make jobs for your friends (ie. people who will keep Texas Texan), not recruit Californians.
You have a massive oil and energy industry. Some of that's pozzed at the top but it also requires a huge employment base of Trump supporters that Bay Area Tech doesn't and won't give you. Why not cultivate that? Texas is a country unto itself if it wants to be. Oppose anything that gets in the way of that.
Well the governor was big on “green energy” until the freeze we had were the windmills were frozen and had to be oiled down to work again. But natural gas and oil have been good for us and we have two nuclear plants. But you make a great point
Just saying these fuckers are clever. You see a bunch of people who come into your state who seem a bit off, your instincts are probably correct.
West Coast had a bunch of nuke plants, but they keep getting shut down despite being safe and profitable. Weird how that happens. Again, don't let that happen to you.
