- skhunted 2y agoNot all silliness is equal or equally stupid. The Texas legislature routinely calls for secession when a Democrat wins the Presidency and votes to stymie federal aid to other states while demanding federal aid for themselves. I don’t see the world in stark terms except where appropriate. You do believe cases exist where such views are warranted right? I happen to think that Texas qualifies.
- telotortium 2y agoCalifornia demands just as much federal aid, and perhaps more - they budgeted assuming that COVID-era federal funding would last forever, until they were recently forced to cut after having to face their absurd assumptions. San Francisco's city government also attempted to boycott working with any contractor in 30 states based on their political views, until it was forced to relent due to not being able to find contractors at an acceptable price.
- skhunted 2y agoCalifornia gets much less in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes. California is much larger population wise than Texas and as such it isn’t surprising that they need more federal aid. California also doesn’t vote against federal aid to states in disaster situations.
