So basically don't go to Texas if you're already broke.
She's always on the tolls bc shes always running late.
The type to go out of town for 2 weeks and leave the AC on 66 full blast lmao.
But I do agree with the general premise of letting ppl (especially from high cost of living cities in the north) know that migrating south doesn't automatically mean coming out ahead financially.

As a new Texan, she is 10000000% right about the drivers. These people are insane. Everyone driving trucks that can barely fit in the lane and not used for any off road activity at 80 mph and they dont let you merge. It’s sociopathic.
Texas a dream libertarian state but this shyt don’t work. Even living in Austin, public services lack and the free roads are bad.
The toll roads are kept in decent shape, but tools are a regressive tax. And paying for the public services are also a tax.

NoYou really gotta pay to drive on the freeway?
They are called toll roads.
The reason why they are called freeways is because you used to have to pay to drive on roads.

That money isn’t going back to infrastructure. It’s all private money.

The cost of living is low in Texas, but you have to take a toll to make to work in a major city that’s hours away.

That's because everything here is private, right down to the electrical grids...which is why it's a libertarian's dream.

100% right lolI don't know how anyone in America can brag about their state being better in anything. The whole country is literally behind in almost every metric that means anything to the average person but you still have these silly state battles.
California is a homeless wasteland where even low six figure tech bros are being priced out 70 miles from the city. New York is an urban hellscape of rampant mental illness and bedroom sized apartments renting for 2k or more. Not to mention all of the COVID deaths there due to incompetence and purposely overloading hospitals in "certain" neighborhoods. In Illinois you have Chicago, enough said.
By any measure public transportation across the country is HORRIBLE. Healthcare is HORRIBLE. Education is HORRIBLE. You can see the last one just by posting here everyday. Also there are toll roads in almost every state. It's the easiest and quickest way to fund new highway projects. I hate them but the Feds aren't coming off that highway money like this is the 50s. Also, the nerve of people on the east coast talking about Texas tolls. That whole Hell's Triangle (PA/NY/NJ) is choked with tolls. And it's FILTHY. In places like California the immense homeless population has caused some areas to look like post apocalyptic wastelands but in the east the shyt is just shytty looking and bummy naturally. It looks third world in a lot of those areas. Rampant dumping of trash on occupied residential streets.
In many ways America is like Special Education compared to the rest of the world. No one applauds the "smartest" kid in special education, they all just assume they are various levels of stupid and feel sorry for them. When I see people showing pride in their states like this I say it's no different than being a flag waver. The stench of America is saturated into every square inch of this country.
