Re: good idea to become unemployed or sick in Texas.
There are plenty of both in TX at the moment.
Texas is also a hotbed of sedition (Texas AG's case in SCOTUS with all those GOP lawmakers and Tweeter in Chief). Always has been an outlier state but in 2020, it became clear that many didn't want to be in the USA any longer.
Trump won ok and 74 million will continue to believe it for decades.
