LOL No - where you live and work matters. Texas is one of 12 states to refuse all federal funding for the expanded Medicare and ACA credits. Texas is also one of the 2 new states with heartbeat laws restricting abortion after 6 weeks. Texas is ALSO one of the states with the highest concentrations of anti-vaxxers in the nation because their state laws prohibit mandates even in schools.

Are you seeing a pattern here? Texas passes nuts laws all the freaking time. And collectively - it makes it pretty undesirable for someone who desires a well-rounded and plague-free education with access to female reproductive rights.

+1. 100%. I'm from TX, graduated from UT, and had been looking to move back home in the past few years. The COVID politics coupled with the lunatic anti-choice laws made me rethink that. I also heavily considered whether I thought Texas state schools would be a sinking ship. My hunch was that state gov't would eventually do something to completely destroy the university, as they had with the guns on campus nonsense. I opted not to move back and know many Texan ex-pats who are equally concerned. [/quote]
