    Straight Capitalism without a strong socialist underpinning is seriously fucking insane.

    Some things just shouldn’t be privatized, period. America is seriously fucked up.

      With what money? I’d love to get out of texas, especially because if Trump or another Republican wins the next election, I’m one of the people they’ll be coming for. But with what money?

        Tried that, got betrayed by blue politicians. The Democratic party in Texas as well as nationally have ceded Texas to the GOP. I’m still voting blue but I have zero expectation of anything of worth out of that party at the state level.

      To the contrary, 52/46 is not a state you bail on. Look at GA turning blue. 2024 will be interesting to see what the CA migration makes as far as a dent in the ~5% vote difference. Texas will turn blue eventually, it’s a matter of when and if it’s too late to turn the ship around at that point.
