I work in Fort Worth on industrial software. About 80% of our team was not educated in Texas. Although I've been told that UNT has a good Computer Science and Music schools. But I haven't heard that lately. 
 @e9dfee67 Soon, it will be 100%. 
 @3967703f Texas is a Fyre Festival. Companies are moving here, and conservatives are giving themselves whiplash from patting themselves on the back.

Nobody ever stops to ask WHY are companies moving here. 
 @e9dfee67 A lot of those employees won't want to go there. It won't be safe for them in myriad ways. 
 @3967703f I don't like living here, but I'm trying to help turn the state blue. 
 @e9dfee67 I appreciate your sacrifice. ❤️ Somebody has to do it. Thank you.

I'm the most passingest of queers (who isn't a married gay white man in a coastal city) and i absolutely do not feel safe in Texas.
