I loathe that my hometown is now filled with these alt-right rich guys escaping big scary California for freedumb loving Texass. Alex Jones was always like Austins creepy drunk uncle we ignored but now they're all bringing their friends, so we've got Joe Rogan and his idiot crew of man children cringe-comedy comedian sexuxal predator pricks bringing all THEIR idiot friends, like Elon Musk, Brendan Schaub now has a Texas tattoo and he's never even lived there, but Oh Joe! Gotta be near the rocketship and his new comedy club on the worst and most cliche street in Austin that literally nobody FROM Austin would ever want their business on.
I love Austin. I despise the State of Texas. I've lived in every major city in TX for years and these guys would absolutely hate every single other city. They like Texas because they're rich guys on a lake in West Austin. They don't have to deal with their ballot boxes being removed to the point that University of Texas, a school with ~80kish students only has ONE PLACE TO VOTE. Actually, I bet Joe would like Dallas a lot more than Austin, he seems like a Vegas type and Austin is still such a small city. Barely more entertaining than Nashville.
I feel so bad for the people who are going to be forced to move. The job market is terrible right now, at least on the SWE end. No idea about manufacturing, etc.
And of course he wouldn't let anyone work remote.
Oh well, I finally gave up on Texas ever improving and left in 2020. Thank god I did. Living in Colorado I feel like my government treats me like an adult.
At least Matthew Mccounaghey balances a bit of it out. Wish he'd have run for Governor, he has enough Texan name recognition and adornment to get past not having (R) on his ballot. Alright, alright alright.
