    Gunz are icky.
    Saw this article about refugees moaning & wailing about Texas.


    Let's discuss.

    1.) Intense heat.
    Oh for crying out loud. Do you stupid fvcks never do one ounce of research before you move somewhere? Like Texas in the summer just suddenly became hot for the first time today? Shut up about it already. We know.

    2.) Property taxes.
    Yep. They're here. Get used to it. Pay up. Again, do you locusts never research anything before you move here? This also plays into many of the later gripes.

    3.) Traffic congestion.
    LMMFAO - it wasn't so bad before all you locusts moved here. But hey lets throw eleventymillion cars onto roads that were built in the 1980's for a much lower population.

    4.) Allergens.
    Allergens? LOL. These so called allergens effect locusts that spend 99% of their time cooped up in the A/C? My heart bleeds.
    I grew up in the cedar country. Never heard of them.

    5.) Water scarcity.
    Here we go again. Water didn't seem to be an issue until eleventymillion locusts moved to Texas. Watering that carpet grass gets pricey don't it?

    6.) Distance between Cities.
    Distance between cities? Well no sh*t you dumbashes. Who knew it was 800 miles from El Paso to Orange or 250 from Houston to Dallas. This information just appeared overnight on maps and sh*t. Somebody needs to move Corpus closer to Fort Worth.

    7.) Political Climate.
    Basically it isn't libtard friendly so lets b*tch about it. Whaaaaaa. Then why did you move here? Because your former home got fouled with libtard cr@p?
    Naaaaaa couldn't be that. So lets change your new home into the exact mess you ran away from.

    8.) Limited Cultrual Diversity in rural areas.
    Oh come the fluck on. Move into a teeny tiny farm town and b*tch about it not looking like the sidewalk in downtown San Francisco? Go ahead. I won't wait.
    You can't be THAT dumb. Oh wait.

    9.) Natural Disasters.
    These things happen. Even to liberals. Tornados, hurricanes, Heat, etc. Better not do any research that might educate or prepare you for these absolutely unheard of occurrences. Save yourselves! Run. Run! Run far away! Maybe to New York. I hear its cooler there.
    Coloardo and California do not have natural disasters. Ever. There has never been an earthquake, mud slide, Blizzard, wildfire, or flood there.

    10.) Education System Challenges.
    In other words I can't send my precious snowflake to a top notch school for free. Hey locusts, see b*tch #2. If little Susie Snowflake needs a better school send her to private school. Oh thats right, somebody ELSE needs to foot that bill.

    11.) Job Market Fluctuations.
    Oil field has always been boom or bust. Learn to code. Oh wait.
    You want me to actually get my hands dirty? Are you insane?
    No factory has ever been closed in Michigan.

    12.) Health Care Accessibility.
    I don't know about you folks but I can get to a doctor. It just takes a little effort. Like one or two phone calls. Do people really have that much difficulty finding medical care? No, it ain't free or down around the corner.

    13.) Housing Market Boom.
    Gee here we are again. It wasn't like that before eleventymillion locusts decided to move here driving up cost and taxes. and we're back to b*tch #2.

    14.) Social Services Limitations
    Where are my FREE social services? Waaaaaaa. They're out there. Quite a few actually. Just takes some research to find them. Funny how these things always rotate back to b*tch #2.

    15.) Cultural Adjustment
    Basically the locusts don't like the Texan Pride thing. It makes them feel like outsiders. Grow up ya pansies. Join the team or go home.

    16.) Enviromental Regulations.
    Locusts unhappy with the LACK of environmental regulations. I guess when Bubba next door poured waste oil from the brodozer driveway oil change along Karen's side fence to kill the weeds she wet herself. According to Karen there are areas in Texas that rival the PRC in pollution levels. Somebody needs to do something!

    17.) Crime rates.
    Texas is the only place in the world with crime now. Liberal Utopias like NYC, San Francisco, Saint Louis, and Minneapolis have no crime at all.
    But hey lets keep voting blue and it will get better.

    18.) Lack of Public Transportation
    Here we go again. This takes money. Public money. Paid for by taxes. So let's raise your taxes again to pay for that $87billion light rail line from MLK drive out to Karens's gated suburban neighborhood. Who would be against that?
    Besides we Texans LIKE our car and trucks. We ain't gonna use that cr@p.

    19.) Seasonal Allure
    WTF is this. More whining that outdoor events don't happen as often as they do during the spring and fall. See b*tch #1 ya wimps. Or go ahead and have your marathon in August. See how many show up.

    20.) Invasive Species
    Evidently Karen Locust does not approve of wild hogs tearing up her perfectly manicured lawn. SOMEBODY needs to do something! For free. Without hurting the animals.
    and those terrible fire ants! See b*tch #16. You can't put that poison out! Somebody think of the children! God forbid they drink out of the garden hose or anything.

    21.) Retirement Considerations
    More moaning and crying about climate, healthcare, transportation, etc. Once again a little research might have learned ya something. Or just keep raising those taxes on everybody to pay for the free sh*t. Zing! we're right back to #2.

    All of you should move out of Texas today! Save yourselves!

    Oh for crying out loud. Do you stupid fvcks never do one ounce of research before you move somewhere? Like Texas in the summer just suddenly became hot for the first time today? Shut up about it already. We know.
    Before I lived in Central Texas, I was doing my time in Illinois in the Missisipi River Valley where the humidity has no to place to escape. Summers were not as long as here, but any sissy complaining about the heat in Texas, needs to spend a week in August where I was.
    2.) Property taxes.
    Yep. They're here. Get used to it. Pay up. Again, do you locusts never research anything before you move here? This also plays into many of the later gripes.
    Yes. Property taxes are rediculous until you factor in that there is no state income tax, so suck it up buttercup.
    3.) Traffic congestion.
    LMMFAO - it wasn't so bad before all you locusts moved here. But hey lets throw eleventymillion cars onto roads that were built in the 1980's for a much lower population.
    You are correct. Locusts. But in all honesty, if DPS would stop handing out drivers licences to anybody that can pay the fee. Traffic would not be so bad, and then item #18 might make a little sense.
    4.) Allergens.
    Allergens? LOL. These so called allergens effect locusts that spend 99% of their time cooped up in the A/C? My heart bleeds.
    I grew up in the cedar country. Never heard of them.
    Truthfully, I never had alergies until I moved here, but then I bought 5 acres full of cedar trees. You get used to it and there are pills for that. Once again, suck it up
    5.) Water scarcity.
    Here we go again. Water didn't seem to be an issue until eleventymillion locusts moved to Texas. Watering that carpet grass gets pricey don't it?
    Dig a well. Oh, you moved into a city? To bad.
    6.) Distance between Cities.
    Distance between cities? Well no sh*t you dumbashes. Who knew it was 800 miles from El Paso to Orange or 250 from Houston to Dallas. This information just appeared overnight on maps and sh*t. Somebody needs to move Corpus closer to Fort Worth.
    This is a gripe? I love it!
    7.) Political Climate.
    Basically it isn't libtard friendly so lets b*tch about it. Whaaaaaa. Then why did you move here? Because your former home got fouled with libtard cr@p?
    Naaaaaa couldn't be that. So lets change your new home into the exact mess you ran away from.
    Again, This is a gripe. Blue belongs in New York and California. Go live there if you want a screwed up political climate.
    8.) Limited Cultrual Diversity in rural areas.
    Oh come the fluck on. Move into a teeny tiny farm town and b*tch about it not looking like the sidewalk in downtown San Francisco? Go ahead. I won't wait.
    You can't be THAT dumb. Oh wait.
    Everywhere I go, people speak english or Spanish. How much more diverse do you want?
    9.) Natural Disasters.
    These things happen. Even to liberals. Tornados, hurricanes, Heat, etc. Better not do any research that might educate or prepare you for these absolutely unheard of occurrences. Save yourselves! Run. Run! Run far away! Maybe to New York. I hear its cooler there.
    Coloardo and California do not have natural disasters. Ever. There has never been an earthquake, mud slide, Blizzard, wildfire, or flood there.
    Yup. Nature happens. And it happens everywhere.
    10.) Education System Challenges.
    In other words I can't send my precious snowflake to a top notch school for free. Hey locusts, see b*tch #2. If little Susie Snowflake needs a better school send her to private school. Oh thats right, somebody ELSE needs to foot that bill.
    Education system are not a challenge. If you do not like your public school do what I did and pay the price for a school that did not teach liberal bull shit.
    11.) Job Market Fluctuations.
    Oil field has always been boom or bust. Learn to code. Oh wait.
    You want me to actually get my hands dirty? Are you insane?
    No factory has ever been closed in Michigan.
    The smart people have backup plans. If the cushy job goes away, go dig ditches, flip burgers, or do like I did and tranform a hobby into a new job where I am my own boss.
    12.) Health Care Accessibility.
    I don't know about you folks but I can get to a doctor. It just takes a little effort. Like one or two phone calls. Do people really have that much difficulty finding medical care? No, it ain't free or down around the corner.
    I remember when I was a kid and mom would give me a check and tell me to go see Dr Needles. (Yes, that really was his name). Everybody could afford health care and insurance was there just for emergencies. I may be wrong but that all changed thanks to liberal labor unions insisting that employers provide health care and then the liberals in government got involved and really set it all into a downward spiral.
    Even with all that, health care is still available, it just is not going to come seek you out.
    13.) Housing Market Boom.
    Gee here we are again. It wasn't like that before eleventymillion locusts decided to move here driving up cost and taxes. and we're back to b*tch #2.
    Agree again. The influx of Commifornians are responsible here.
    14.) Social Services Limitations
    Where are my FREE social services? Waaaaaaa. They're out there. Quite a few actually. Just takes some research to find them. Funny how these things always rotate back to b*tch #2.
    You want Social Services, Move to a socialist country. We deal with our own problems and would rather big brother just stay out of it.
    15.) Cultural Adjustment
    Basically the locusts don't like the Texan Pride thing. It makes them feel like outsiders. Grow up ya pansies. Join the team or go home.
    Yes it was a bit of a culture shock, and a pleasant shock it was. I am reminded of this everytime I am forced to visit an out of state city.
    16.) Enviromental Regulations.
    Locusts unhappy with the LACK of environmental regulations. I guess when Bubba next door poured waste oil from the brodozer driveway oil change along Karen's side fence to kill the weeds she wet herself. According to Karen there are areas in Texas that rival the PRC in pollution levels. Somebody needs to do something!
    If so many enviromental regulations were effective rather than money game of smoke and mirrors........Just don't ge me started on this one.
    17.) Crime rates.
    Texas is the only place in the world with crime now. Liberal Utopias like NYC, San Francisco, Saint Louis, and Minneapolis have no crime at all.
    But hey lets keep voting blue and it will get better.
    Crime rates are not so much a problem in the semi rural area I live. This is not Commifornia. Here we all have guns, ammo and at least a few of us have smokey diesel excavation equipment.
    18.) Lack of Public Transportation
    Here we go again. This takes money. Public money. Paid for by taxes. So let's raise your taxes again to pay for that $87billion light rail line from MLK drive out to Karens's gated suburban neighborhood. Who would be against that?
    Besides we Texans LIKE our car and trucks. We ain't gonna use that cr@p.

    WTF is this. More whining that outdoor events don't happen as often as they do during the spring and fall. See b*tch #1 ya wimps. Or go ahead and have your marathon in August. See how many show up.
    At least I do not have to own a snow shovel.
    20.) Invasive Species
    Evidently Karen Locust does not approve of wild hogs tearing up her perfectly manicured lawn. SOMEBODY needs to do something! For free. Without hurting the animals.
    and those terrible fire ants! See b*tch #16. You can't put that poison out! Somebody think of the children! God forbid they drink out of the garden hose or anything.
    Invasive species are a real problem. Commifornians and Illegal aliens top the list. Don't know for sure what to do about the first but MAGA!
    21.) Retirement Considerations

    Occupied Texas
    These are hilarious. Heat? Cultural diversity? OMFG!

    Let me take issue with one thing: Environmental regulations. I spent over 45 years doing environmental compliance and dealt with places like NY, NJ, and The People's Republik of Kalifornia, along with (obviously) Texas. Nearly all of the environmental regulations are FEDERAL. Everybody is stuck with them, and quite honestly most of them are pretty screwed up. Texas does a better job of enforcing environmental regulations than any of the other states. Seriously. There was a time when some of the oil regulations were enforced pretty questionably (largely because of the Railroad Commission), but those days have been gone for 25 years. Example: I supported a plant on the Houston Ship Channel. If we had a teaspoon of oil spill into the Channel, we had to notify the federal EPA, the local environmental planning committee, the Coast Guard, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the General Land Office. Chances were pretty good that several of those would issue a fine. Meanwhile, there are huge areas in NY and NJ that are contaminated with really bad stuff that's been there for a hundred years. And if you've seen the movie, "Erin Brockovich", that took place in California.

    I just get sick of the lying leftists besmirching the good name of Texas.

    Well my take is:

    Yes it is hot here but then I came from a place where it rained on 200 days a year.

    Property Tax, Where I came from we had "council tax" it went up every year, there was no provision for it to be fixed after you became a senior I never saw a cut like we got from the state this year. on top of that we had 28% basic income tax rising to 40% if you earned more than 40K per year and of course treasury vampires still needed more so there was 20% VAT (sales tax)

    Property Prices. Well it depends how you look at this one. When I sold my 2000sqft house in UK the proceeds from the sale paid for the following:

    Our 1600sqft interim house in Texas (a place to live while we looked for something better, we later put it on the rental market for a few years) cash purchase no mortgage.

    Our long term house 2400sqft with 3 car garage on one acre, again cash purchase no mortgage.

    A brand new F150 for me a new Fusion for my wife and an Escape for our daughter again all cash buys.

    The cost of shipping a 20ft container from England to our house in Texas with all our houshold stuff.

    8 business class air tickets between London and Houston while we shuttled back and forth arranging our move.

    After all that we still had money left over.

    Traffic congestion!!!! Sorry guys nobody in this entire country knows what real traffic congestion is. I think it is wonderful over here that you can actually plan a journey and be fairly confident time it will take will be close to your calculations. In other words most of the time you will be able to travel close to the speed limit wherever you are. The UK is slightly smaller than the state of Idaho. When I left there it had a human population of 60 million and around 28 million motor vehicles. I used to drive our daughter to school as the crow flies it was about 2 miles away, just on the other side of the valley. In terms of road miles 3.5, average journey time 20 minutes, it sometimes took me 10 minutes just to get of our driveway out on to the public road.

    Water shortages, yes in a country where it rains on 200 days a year they have water problems. The whole system there depends upon it raining every couple of weeks. If you actually do get a year with a "summer" and no rain for 4 weeks then they ban the use of garden hoses. You are expected to notify the thought police if you see someone being naughty.

    Environmental. Well of course Nanny knows what is good for you. Now I know over here HOAs can be a pain (which is why I bought a house that does not have one). On the other side of the pond though it is the government. Want to put an extension on your house or convert the attic into a bedroom, then you need to submit a planning application with detailed drawings and specs. Even if you get permission they will probably tell you what sort of windows doors and paint colors are acceptable.

    Medical: a couple of years before we left my wife had a medical issue that eventually led to needing her gall bladder removed. Having been bounced around by the National Health Service during which time we learned that with time taken to do various tests and then waiting for a vacancy for an operation, the whole process would take 5 months. Although we did not have medical insurance (it does exist over there) we investigated the possibility of it being done in a nearby private hospital. Having been told that all the necessary tests could be done and the surgery completed in 10 days we bit the bullet and paid up the 7000UKP, the good side of that being it that it was a fixed price deal with only the one bill to pay. 2 weeks after here surgery my wife got a letter from the NHS calling her in for the first of a series of tests that she was supposed to have to determine the need for the op.

    I could go on with a lot more but I might find that Chairman Starmer might want to extradite me if I start on UK politics.

    south of killeen
    When my step daughters moved here from California, they were 3 years behind the schools in Killeen. The 12 year old could barely read a third grade book. And didn't understand half of that. My two youngest boys, both math wizards, tutored her in math.
    I had to get phonics cards, a book and a dictionary to teach her how to read. When she finally learned, she was surprised at how bad theor schools actually were.
