This is a very common trend in Texas. Big cities, especially Austin, are liberal, whereas the state government is conservative. So the latter will do anything it can to spite and annoy the cities. The Uber debacle was just one example.
- pm90 9y agoI don't know why you are being downvoted, this is exactly what is going on. Texas republicans seem like trolls to me, always trying to use their power in the State Houses to annoy and infuriate their more Urban constituents. DJT didn't win by a huge margin in Texas though so I'm hoping that pretty soon these clowns will get kicked out and we will have responsible representatives. Meanwhile, their asinine antics are having a very real effect on the economy of Texas: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/22/opinion/sunday/texas-unemployment-businesses.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/22/opinion/sunday/texas-unem...
