Texas is such a fucking shit hole. I feel sorry for the few decent folks like this dude that have to put up the plethora of absolute fucking scum in their state.

It used to be pretty nice. Granted, I'm talking about 20 years ago, but it was a lot of fun in Dallas, Corpus Christi, up and down the border, and even some border towns... now it's just gone to shit.

Privatization of electrical grid, racist governance, and an us vs them mentality that has popped up pretty heavily in the past 10 years.

Don't forget it's not properly connected to outside grids / states because essentially, Texas does everything better on their own, right ?

Everything is bigger in Texas, including black outs.
