Summer will get rough soon? Didn't we have two back to back years with heat dome dominated summers and people collapsing on the concrete? I distinctly remember being told by my job not to go outside due to extreme risk of heatstroke. It's already bad. If ercot can't handle winter now, they won't be able to handle summer as AC system loads spike higher and higher.

I have lived here for 31 years. I don't get the pride I'm supposed to have for being a native Texan. If I weren't trapped here by the economic forces pressing all Texans down, I would live somewhere with a functional government at least.

Come to Chicago. Rent is fucked I won't lie, but you can still find some cheap places. Depending on what you do (or are willing to do) there's plenty of work here. Our city is a far cry from perfect but we have a mayor who actually has the people's best interests in mind, we're politically active and quite progressive, there aren't enough free community resources but far more than most places, we have multiple forms of slightly shitty but fully functional mass transit, and weed is legal. Also, portions of the city are extremely walkable and bikeable.

I friend of mine is moving from New Mexico to Chicago, so it checks out.

You need a snappy title, and an opening theme song ... 'cause you've got a 70s sitcom on yer hands.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
