Do you consider state laws/health care access effecting your child when selecting college?

[Anonymous]

This thread is overrun with trolls so I'm not sure why I'm wasting my time responding, but yes, my DS considering the availability of appopriate health care for himself and any future partners in his decision making.

Texas has brought in more big business than any state in the US for a number of years now. It is the number 1 state for business and Austin is the number 1 city. You don’t have to like it but it is that way. Too bad sour grapes.

while I understand this, I also have a hard time believing that big businesses will remain when they can't recruit young women to work for them

If you think enough women will move out, think again. Texas has plenty of women. And not all have an issue with the state which would make another leave. And the state is very, very appealing to business. It’s not number 1 for no reason.

It depends a lot on your metrics whether it's number 1. And the impact of the ideologues has not yet been felt. Businesses moved in thinking it was more libertarian. But this financially de-regulated but socially restrictive is not a good combo for the highly educated workers they need. We'll see.

They are moving in. Like it or not. Business moved in because it’s good for business. Highly educated workers will go where they are paid well and where there are companies.

BS. There are great colleges in Texas. One being Rice which is likely better than what you attended,
if you attended college at all, and UT which has one of the best engineering programs in the country. You snarky add on is a typical juvenile response.

DP. That sounds like a clever response, except it doesn't take a lot of effort to identify the only two good schools in a state twice the size and with half the population of Germany.

We are hysterically laughing over her at this! I’m embarrassed for you.
Here’s another statistic. Texas had the 10th largest economy on the world. Yeah, it sucks so bad!

Then why can’t Texas keep the lights on?

Yeah, you think it’s because Texas didn’t pay it’s electric bill, okay you. Get your crayons for your first lesson.

You think Texas is financially together. I’ll send you some crayons.

Let me check with Elon Musk…
Yep, he says he has lights and his Tesla headquarters are up and running. And for good measure, I checked with few of my friends there also they also have electricity, running water, and all of life’s conveniences. Sorry you are disappointed they aren’t living poorly.

Electricity has been kind of spotty. And Musk is a nut.

Keep struggling. Have been back and forth from Texas and no spotty electricity. And you know that, you just have nothing.
Elon may be a nut, but what he isn’t is eaten up with envy like you are.

Envy? I've been to Texas plenty. My sister's family (two engineers) moved there just before the pandemic for work (and because we have other relatives there). Their power has been out for multiple days on 7 separate occasions in 2020-2021 in addition to frequent "brown outs" in the summer. Their electricity bills are through the roof. They pay some of the highest property taxes in the country. Adding on to that, the Governor is an ideological nutter. There's work everywhere now--they got new jobs in Colorado and are moving before the summer starts. Sold their house at a very high price. I don't think Texas is going to keep attracting people.

Yeah, Colorado has some of the fewest restrictions on abortion, up to 26 weeks & up to 34 for weeks serious issues

I suppose you told those of us claiming a few years ago Roe would be overturned that we were overreacting?

I think folks on this board are overreacting a bit.. Not about Roe being overturned but about what will happen on college campuses and in southern cities. Say, your daughter gets pregnant in college (doesn't matter how). If she chooses to carry it to term, that's her choice and would have been regardless of where she got pregnant. If she wants to terminate, fly her out to someplace civilized and take care of it.

If you are employee (i.e. young woman), I'm sure you can fly yourself wherever you want to and get an abortion. I know that their stupid law says about getting an abortion, but how will those backwater clowns know you didn't have a "miscarriage" in Mexico or Maryland or wherever you went to take care of things? And while you are there, work hard to vote them out of office.

Really so your daughter has a miscarriage while at school and now she’s charged with murder? Or she is raped and mnow pregnant?

Live in your fantasy world. Awesome parenting

You are not paying attention the law is they can not leave the state. Murder is the charge homicide what do you not understand about that?

And we are not over reacting. You are not reacting enough.

Musk is a liar
He did not invent Tesla he stole it. fact.
He’s not buying Twitter he does not have the cash Peter Theil is Musk isn’t smart enough. Saudis and China and Thiel.

As for Texas please black out# are the norm full stop. Not to mention all the taxpayers monies Abbott has cost the state for his stupid stunts .

Yeah, he stole it. He went over, broke in, and “stole” Tesla. Hahahhahhahahahahhahahahahhaaa!
He got you talking about him buying Twitter. Hahahahahaahahahhahah!!!
I live in Texas part of the year and family are there. There are no norm blackouts. Full stop.
You know nothing about taxes and you know less about Texas.
Your vague “accusations” are entertaining.
Envy is a sin. Try to get yourself out of it.
