'Where ambition goes to die': These tech workers flocked to Austin during the pandemic. Now they're desperate to get out.::Drawn by the promise of an emerging tech hub, some tech workers who flocked to Austin found a middling tech scene, subpar culture, and scorching heat.

it's also really stupid considering the liberal cites are literally what MAKES Texas. There's mass amounts of population in rural areas that just flat don't vote. If everyone voted in TX it's be blue as fuck.

Either way when the cities themselves lose all the workers that high paying jobs need the cities start to fall and the revenue for the state will follow.

Literal idiots that just think the oilfield will go on forever and nothing else will matter

Yeah I was in Houston for a couple of years, it isn't a red state, it's a non voting state. Republicans have convinced some people that Democrats are as bad as them so it isn't worth voting.

Plus, gerrymandering. I was in Crenshaw's district and dear God it was a creative shape.
