  • Texas is home to some of the largest military installations on the planet (Fort Bliss and Fort Cavazos) - the federal economic footprint these (and Lackland, and JSB Carswell and a dozen others) bring to their local economies is massive. Hell, the defense industry footprint in texas is ridiculously large (existing and future helos & fixed wing f22/f35 production) - removing them from Texas would crater their economy.

    I tend to look at this like another grift to skin more funds from the stupids.












  • Shows Tesla doesn’t have any clue how the labour market work.

    They’ve got their own problems here in the US but lax government oversight and weak state rules for labor organization hinder their ability to hold tesla liable for the nooses and robots-crushing-employees and molds exploding and other horrors.

    It’s also hard to hold Tesla accountable in the public square when they “don’t have a public relations department” and shit like Musk’s poop-emoji replies to the press.
