That doesn't jibe with my experience. You?

Not to worry. Neither of Time’s readers are technically (or anything else) literate.

Only on the coast. Been here for 46 years and will never leave. Had a great time helping elect Cruz and can’t wait to dump Cornyn.

Texas is a huge state. It’s humid in some places, like Houston. I’m up in Denton, which isn’t so bad. Can get hot, but that’s what air conditioning is for. We run it all the time when it’s hot and our power bill is reasonable.

Really, Yankees and Californians, Texas is even worse than reported by Time.

True, the weather is awful, but so is everything else. The welfare system here is atrocious and it is a right-to-work state. There are no income taxes, so social services are sadly deficient. They actually expect immigrants to earn their own living. And don’t get me started on how the state refuses to honor gay rights and abortion rights. There’s church on every corner, and many Texans still say “Bless you!” when you sneeze and “Merry Christmas” during the winter holidays. Most Texans are too stupid to understand that free enterprise is a horrible economic system, and they voted against Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Texas is really horrible, Yankees and Californians. Please stay away for your own good. Don’t even visit, much less consider moving here.

I've been to Texas a few times and I really like the super wide highways and all the great steakhouses. It might be hot as hell but it sure feels good to walk into one of those air-conditioned steakhouses for a big juicy porterhouse along with a few mugs of cold beer.

Some of those joints even have sawdust on the floor and one of those mechanical bulls in the back. I keep expecting to see somebody that looks like John Travolta riding it.

Maybe Time is working on kicking us out of the USSA. Boo, Hoo.

Two things:
1. I’m sure the Liberals dream of turning Texas into a blue state. If they can do that, it’s game over.
2. I will never live in Texas.

Same reason I’ll never move to Florida: I’m partial to four seasons.
