What's with the Texaphobia?
- csydas 5y agoPlease re-read it - I'm sorry you got downvoted, but you misunderstood what I wrote. Texas as a state is fairly well off (2nd in GDP [0]) and my expectation is more that they would have a fairly robust system set up. There's no phobia here, just that my expectation is Texas has the money to design a better system with backups and redundancies. Even a storage volume level snapshot would have saved them here and I'm a bit shocked they didn't even do that.

- addingnumbers 5y agoThe State/County/City balance of authority in Texas is biased far more toward Counties than in any other state. They have 4x more counties than more populous California and over 10x more than larger Alaska. It reads to me like any "phobia" over this simple fact is inferred by the reader, not implied by the writer.
