I wonder what Texas will do when all the doctors leave to work in states that won't arrest them for saving lives.
Complain harder about woke ideologue as they blame liberals for shunning their perfect state.
I say this as a recent transplant out of spending almost 2 decades in Texas.
Couldn't get out of there soon enough. So happy we left.
Where'd you go instead? Also looking to move elsewhere as my home state slides further into theocratic hell
We're up in Colorado, near the Denver area now. Much, much, much, much better. This state isn't batshit insane.
Really? That's literally exactly where we were planning to go, just have heard some bad things about the crime rate and cost of living, not to mention being much colder.
It's cold at night, and warm during the day. But yeah, it is more expensive up here.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that more desirable places to live can be more expensive. Demand does often drive prices up.
Yeah, for sure. If you ever want any help/advice/etc. about moving up here if that's in your cards at some point, feel free to HMU. My wife and I just went through it, as did 2 of my friends who transplanted out of the Austin area to here.
It's better on the other side, for sure.
There's still a lot of trump/MAGA crazies up here, because they're roughly 30% of the voting US population; but they lack any real governing or decision making power in the state, and losing more every day.
We vote by mail, with a guide that tells you the full details (in a large packet) of what every single law, bond, etc. means and how it could affect you along with the background on how that law got onto the ballot.
Then you just drop it off at the post office box and you're done. It's amazing how easy it is to vote compared to Texas.
And that's just one of the many things that's better. :)
Funny enough I lived in Texas and also moved to Denver. However, I would say that yes it is more expensive, but the wage is significantly higher. I was making 25k in Texas to the point where I couldn't afford my mortgage anymore. But moving to Denver, I was making 55k.
the whole state is very good actually, even the redder parts imo, so find somewhere you can afford if denver is too much
I was gonna say something contradicting you, but I have no place to do so coming from Utah lmao
What is the punishment for a doctor performing an illegal abortion in Texas?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-supreme-court-ruling-abortion-ban/
99 years in prison is a joke. Doctors who are licensed to perform abortions are already at the very least more than a third of the way through their lives. What, are they going to live until 125? In prison?
"99 years" is the kind of number uneducated people use to mean "a very long time".
It's why the Bible is full of references to absurdly huge numbers.
Being forced to live in Texas.
some dudebro will make an app for crowdsourced "Health Experts" who look you over briefly and then prescribe opiates. it will cost $300 out of pocket and AI will be involved somehow
"Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know" what I mean, like...
