  • I think that it’s now safe to say that we Texans now live in a failed state.  30 years of GOP rule, setting our own standard, living the “Texas Dream,” which they’ve bragged about relentlessly…and let’s see where we are:

    A majority of the state in complete failure, unable to deliver the most BASIC of services (things that are called “utilities,” not “luxuries,” for a reason).  No power.  No water.  No means of clearing roads (that one, I can’t fault the state so much….but it wouldn’t be as big a crisis if people weren’t stuck in their homes with no power and water).  So citizens are stuck in their homes, some of them dying there. 

    Water resource planning?  After pretending for decades that a drought would never happen again, and not doing ANYTHING to develop resources in the state water plan (a document actually developed using science and mathematical projections), we had several locations, including actual cities, down to a few days of water supply.  We’ve finally gotten on our horse a bit, but it may be too late if the next drought comes anytime soon.  

    State rank in key categories:

    Education – 34

    Health Care - 37

    Infrastructure - 33

    Opportunity - 39

    Environment - 44

    Infrastructure - 33 

    In overall quality of life ranking by US News, we are now #38, down from #36 just two years ago.  At that rate, we’ll be in the bottom 3 within ten years.

    We are SUPER independent, and FUCK the feds….but we have requested federal disaster assistance more than any other state in the past decade or so.

    But hey, our economy is ranked #15!

    That’s right, we have a “roaring economy” and the “Texas Miracle!”  But we can’t deliver the basics for our citizens.  The economy is VERY efficient at funneling bazillions to the very few…..with little of it “trickling down” to most Texans.  Yeah, the people on this board generally do fine, but face the facts – we’re the top 10% or so.  We are educated, older, and fortunate.

    Our federal system allows for state-by-state experiments.  Texas is the poster child for near anarcho-capitalism and zero regulation or oversight.  We have tested that approach, for over a generation now (30 years of Republican rule).  That approach is a failure.  The evidence is undeniable, and overwhelming.  It doesn’t matter how many River Oaks millionaires you produce if the rest of your people are dying in their homes.  Shit, some of those River Oaks millionaires might be freezing to death today, too.

    The kids of a middle class family can hardly afford to go to a good state school.  Their prospects for employment are mediocre.  Their prospects of suffering crippling medical debt at some point are significant.  Their chances of not having basic utilities needed for life safety at some point – all but certain.  Their chances of becoming ill or dying from a pollution-caused illness are material.

    What’s the result?  Our leaders have sold Texas as a paradise – move here!  Bring your business here!  And some businesses have done so, adding opportunity…..but providing little to no tax support for the infrastructure we all depend on.  To the contrary, over the past few years, I know more and more people – educated people, people who can do their jobs elsewhere, who are looking to bail on this state.  It’s people with young kids, who want them to grow up in a better place.  It’s people in their working years, who simply want a better path.  It’s retirees, who want a safe and secure place to live.

    We have consumed our seed stock.  We have burned through our reserves.  We are now consuming ourselves.  The ability to pitch Texas as the land of opportunity is done.  Seeing what we have become, the tentative thought/plan my wife and I had of wrapping up our careers here and then getting the hell out of Dodge is becoming much more concrete.  My children are already unlikely to make their future in this state.  Now we are, too.

    But the response from the Republican leadership and their sycophants – “how are you gonna pay for it?  Taxes?  That’s socialism!  You want that stuff, you have to pay for it!”

    Fuck yes I do, and I’m okay with that.  I want groceries…so I have to pay HEB.  I want a car…so I have to pay Ford.  I want clothes…..so I have to pay Dillards.  I want my population educated….so I have to pay the school district.  I want electricity, with enough capacity to keep us running when we need it…..so I have to pay my bill, maybe with a capacity surcharge.  I want water to come out of the taps….so I have to pay for development of resources and maintenance of infrastructure.  I want roads….so I pay taxes to build and maintain them.  YES, I have to pay for all of those things, and “nothing is free” – no fucking shit.  So, let’s pay for it.  We have the #15 economy….we HAVE the funds in this state.  An economy with the flow of funds that ours has can produce and maintain all of those results.  But we have chosen a different path; funnel all the dollars to the top, and spend next to nothing for the public good.  We have privatized profit….we have socialized the costs.  And we are dying because of it.

    My fellow Texans are dying in their homes….and there’s nothing I can do about it today.  And I am enraged.

    I love Texas.  I am 6th generation here.  My ancestors have Texas historical markers on their graves.  We helped make this state, and this state helped make us.  It educated us (back when college was affordable).  But it’s time to face the fact – this state is a failure, and on its current path, with its current leadership and philosophy, it will only get worse.  This state has a terrible future, unless we dramatically change our path.   Chances of that happening?  0.0% -- because we’ll continue to vote for the guys who make our leadership priorities bathroom bills, and transgender sports, and requiring the national anthem be played at certain events.  Any bill that has been proposed to improve emergency preparedness of gov’t entities has been crushed by the Republicans controlling the lege….but we will definitely stick with those guys.  No taxes.  No government functionality.

    What we are seeing happening right now is our system working EXACTLY AS IT WAS DESIGNED AND INTENDED TO WORK.  And we will, I guarantee it, collectively decide to stick with that.  This state is in free-fall, and anyone with eyes can see it.  And anyone with a brain is starting to think of ways to make their life elsewhere.  It breaks my goddamned heart to see us commit collective suicide, but here we are.

    This is one I actually agree with. See Canada’s problem in British Columbia with Chinese nationals buying up all their real estate, making it unaffordable for actual citizens. Of course, we just have corporations doing that here anyway, but baby steps. 
    I think the list should be expanded. My neighbor rents and his landlords are a group in Singapore. I think any person or group that owns more than 10 residential properties should see their property taxes increase 25%, and if they own more than 50, it should increase 50% more than 100 would mean more than a 75% increase in property taxes. The revenue that's generated would go to helping first-time home buyers with a down payment .

    How long before the UT system is swallowed up into this mess

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltnietzel/2025/06/27/public-universities-in-six-southern-states-form-new-accrediting-agency/

    Public universities in six southern states have come together to create a new higher education accreditor that will offer an alternative to existing nationally recognized accrediting agenciesoverseeing the nation’s colleges and universities.

    The formation of the Commission for Public Higher Education was led by a consortium of public universities that includes Texas A&M University, the State University System of Florida, the University System of Georgia, the University of Tennessee System, the University of North Carolina System and the University of South Carolina System.

     

    The establishment of the new college accreditor comes partly in response to President Donald Trump’s long-standing and frequent attacks on accreditors and the accreditation process itself. All six of the consortium states voted for Trump in the last presidential election.

    “When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics,” Trump said in a July 2023 campaign video. “We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again and once and for all,” he added.

    That order also railed against accreditors setting standards for diversity, equity, and inclusion. And it called for “recognizing new accreditors to increase competition and accountability in promoting high-quality, high-value academic programs focused on student outcomes.”

     

    Public universities in those states are currently accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

    “‘[W]ho’s to blame?’” Texas governor Greg Abbott repeated back to a reporter. “That’s the word choice of losers.” “Every football team makes mistakes,” he continued, referring to Texas’s popular sport. “The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame. The championship teams are the ones that say, ‘Don’t worry about it, ma’am, we’ve got this.’”

    Narrator: Abbott spent the last four years blaming Biden for everything and refusing to work with the federal government for solutions.

    That’s not responsive. This isn’t a trick or complex. This is a very straightforward yes/no question about your opinion.

    Again,  do you think that the elected leadership at the statewide and Federal level in the aftermath of this tragedy has been adequate and appropriate

    Actually, I am even more perturbed at what preceded this tragedy.  

    I start with the proposition that the government of the State of Texas, at many if not most levels, seems quite unconcerned with improving the lives of its citizens, especially if that comes at some cost to the government or taxpayers.  Yet, it will spend taxpayer money lavishly on corporate subsidies and tax breaks etc. and do other things to make the "lives" of institutions and corporations easier in this state.

    So, the leadership of Kerr County on several occasions refused to modernize and improve its flood warning systems with this specific situation in mind.  If that were merely a cost-benefit analysis, I might cut them some slack.  If it were that sirens are noisy, or we need to improve the roads, or even give money to the cops.

    But both the leadership and citizenry of Kerr County could have obtained the money to do that at no fiscal cost from the federal government.  And declined to do so for overtly partisan, ridiculously political reasons and they said so right in the public record.

    Of course, but often "legislative" decisions are a mixed bag of motivations and it can be difficult to discern what motivated a particular action or inaction.  In this case, it's not at all.

    Texas family care network. https://txfcn.org/

    Great website. Synergies, partnerships, and other mealy-mouthed jargon just to say “we now run foster care for region 5.”

    A Pennsylvania company.

    Using that private agency as a placeholder for shenanigans in the DFCS system. “Privatizing” foster care - and they are calling in cases to CPS to remove not just one, but all the children in a family where there has been a removal, even if no evidence for subsequent removals exists.

    Example - a mom has a child removed and placed in foster care, but in the meantime gets her life in order and ends up having another child. No evidence of abuse or neglect, clean drug and alcohol tests - and the hospital where the birth occurs has no problem releasing the child to go home.

    Enter these thugs, many who retired from state employment, who call in an unwarranted CPS case for exigent removal of other children - no investigation, affidavit, or court order - because its a profit center, with costs shouldered by the state.

    What a lucrative racket! Makes one wonder if they pay their workers bonuses for each removal.

    In recent sessions, the state lege has been incrementally rolling back CPS authority, which in many cases makes good sense - only to have private contractors overreach.

    File under private prisons, state agencies bypassing the judiciary, ICE contractors, tow truck companies, etc.

    My friend owns a glass company. At lunch, I always joke “hey if business is lagging, I’ll grab my shotgun and go break some windows for you,” to which he exclaims “NO!.”

    Privatization is just another word for grift.

    It's worse than that. The "injury" happened at an ICE facility, and it did not happen on the day of the statewide alert, but many days before on July 4. So what we're supposed to be profiling asian dudes? The whole state? The "ambush" happened like two hours from the WinStar casino.

    I turned my alerts off last year when I was awoken at 3:30 in the AM by the loudest damn alert known to man.  All because someone near El Paso (I believe, don't remember) took a shot at a cop over there.  I'm in the Houston area; not like I'm going to roll out of bed and do anything about it.

    After the recent tragedy I got to thinking that maybe I ought to turn alerts back on just in case some life-threatening weather situation rolls up; but I forgot to do it.  Based on this most recent Blue Alert I'm glad I didn't.  We have tornado sirens in the general vicinity so I'll take my chances.

    Yeah not thrilled with that, especially since I've been sitting here with my dick in my hand and no Congressional representation for months in CD18 (thanks hot wheels). Silver lining to this redistricting push from Trump that I have read from several sources is that Texas is pretty much maximally gerrymandered as is, and in order to push it further you will be taking from the safer republican seats and creating an environment where they are more competitive. Could be a bad gambit where in a worst-case scenario for R's they will lose previously safe seats in addition to not gaining any new ones. Here's hoping that's what comes to pass and this whole thing blows up in Trumps face...

    Read somewhere that many Texas Reps are actually not in favor of this, because there are grumblings that if Texas does this, then blue states will start pulling the same shit, and they have a lot more to work with.

    Read somewhere that many Texas Reps are actually not in favor of this, because there are grumblings that if Texas does this, then blue states will start pulling the same shit, and they have a lot more to work with. Take it for what it's worth, since that would require Dems taking the gloves off 

    Even if Dems went for it, their blue state maps would be struck down once the checks clear to 6 of the 9 SCJs.

    Do not get your hopes up that institutions or process will save us. Shit has to burn, and we're nowhere near that point yet. Maybe during Barron I's reign.

    1/8th of every city smothered with several hundred thousand acres of MAGA in creating each district.  May be time to build walls around the cities and when MAGA tries to get to a hospital in the next several years, just say "fuck AAAAALLLL the way off."
