I was thinking "Liberty." With vaccine mandates banned, I don't expect out-of-state nurses to clamor for this opportunity...

  Lot of fired nurses around the country looking for work…

    And by lots, you mean 'lots' of nurses that complained about mandates, stalled until the last minute before turning their papers in, but when push came to shove, got vaccinated. The police here are doing the same. I was hoping that, as reported frequently and loudly in the news, ~1/3rd of the department would get fired over the mandate, but as the deadline looms, it doesn't look like more than a handful will be. ... Also, because they'd be working for the federal government, they wouldn't be allowed to work those FEMA jobs without proof of vaccination.

Like not allowing Tesla to sell cars without going through a money grubbing annoying dealership.

Small federal government. For some reason (1), small State government seems to be a entirely different concept. (1)I'm guessing the bribe money is better that way

  Or people simply prefer government that's closer to them.

    While I think that is definitely true, states like Florida have forced local school districts on certain issues recently. So it is not even consistent on that level.

  As a person who has lived in many red states, this is generally how it is for some reason. Many people here actually get mad when I point it out, but after giving half a dozen good examples it's hard for them to deny it. FTR I'm not taking a position on small vs. big government, I'm just sensitive to and OCD about pointing out hypocrisy when I see it.

  Given how little Texas legislators get paid, I don't think you can make a living as one without supplementing your income with them. The cashier at Chick-Fil-A takes home more than you do.
