    LMAO. Are you finally figuring out what’s wrong with privatizing, eh guys?

    “Texas f–king blows,” comedian Shane Gillis said in a June episode of the Andrew Schulz podcast, recalling a storm that left his Austin home without power for three days. “It’s hot as f–k. The second we ran out of power, the house was 90 degrees and bugs came in immediately.”

    “They’re on their own power grid, like f–king idiots,” Schulz added.

      Oh no, no. No. No, these are “comedians, podcasters, and UFC fighters” so while they define an open mind and good works, they actually won’t learn a damned thing or do anything about it.

    Its embarrassing that this was pretty much all it took to radicalize so many people “realizing he didn’t have to wear a mask at a restaurant”

    In 2020, Joe Rogan moved from Los Angeles to Austin after visiting and realizing he didn’t have to wear a mask at a restaurant.

    What a profoundly stupid man. Him and all his idiot followers deserve far worse than they’re getting.

      Texas is great. Texas politics is dogshit.

      Also, Rogan’s weird podcaster cult all piled into the Austin suburbs, which really are miserable - expensive, cramped, horrible traffic, and full of people Rogan’s crowd hates.

      It would be like the Pod Save America hosts getting their affiliates to move to Keene, NH. What did you think was going to happen?

    I love how when you talk to Texans. They’ll say the cities are cesspools of liberal waste. But then you point out the hate in the small communities around the cities and then they get chatty. Oh it’s not that bad. It’s not terrible.

    No bro. It’s terrible. It’s a shit hole. And you’re lying to yourself if you don’t believe that.
