I’ll bet the maternal death rate has risen as well and Texas was already first in the nation.
System works as designed
Austin is still an amazing town. A blueberry in a bowl of tomato soup. Just know that if you get knocked up, you’ll need a quick Denver weekend.
And never intend to have children because emergency care is unavailable.
I was in a coffeeshop on the Idaho side of the mountains yesterday and I was listening to two young Gen-Z girls talk (~17) and Austin came up. One girl said that she heard it was a great town. The other told her not to bother because Texas is too patriarchal, they love their guns way too much and their power grid fails so much that it kills people. Idaho! The Texas state government has ass fucked and murdered the golden goose.
Mission accomplished 😒
