A recruiter called me yesterday offering me a fabulous position. Paid relocation, sign on bonus, famous hospital near beaches. Huge salary…. It was in Texas.
No thank you. As a woman I would NEVER live or work in Texas. Good luck with your search.

my stupidest state list. Could never live there, don’t even want to visit. Ever.
The Texas Taliban has set our state back 50 years.
The DNC left Texas after Ann Richards left office in '96.
Big mistake. The hate starts in Texas and spreads to the other Southern states. I would leave if I could. Drs are leaving in droves.
i hate republicans

The State of Texas turned excited to be expecting, into terrified to be expecting.
Everyone told them this would be the result.
Also, can't imagine any young women currently living in Texas and planning to go to college, not choosing a school outside of that state
Not judging others. Like Daniel from the bible.
My top choices are Kitimat and Prince George right now. 🤣
And I know several docs relocating out of red states.
I would never go back, even to visit.
Congratulations on not taking the job.
Thanks, Keith :)
Good for you. Someone will take it, and then they can deal with the landscape in front of them.
It's the final straw.
Have your stress levels gone down once you made that decision?
Others described it as a weight off their shoulders.
Is there any extended family left that you get along with?
The mix of evangelical and maga is too much to bear.

…and then I remembered.
Congrats on your decision
So many choices out there in much better states that are safe for & support women
Females are not safe
Gun violence is high
Politics here are Facist 😡
Plus, the beaches are dirty
Most highways/interstates are dirty
They exaggerated again
YEE haw
Theres a lot of good here until there isn’t. Texas has great people living here. I know some! The politics ruins Texas. Education, healthcare, women’s rights, support of all communities is severely lacking. Just not a great state atm🫤
Now I want some!
They are so good!
We all have our fav spot, too!
Smh - yes, same thing
We all deserve better
Have a friend in Houston, TX
1/2
Her son has severe mental illness. During Trump's last Reign of Terror, TX MAGA-Gov Abbott all but dismantled MEDICAID. Her son was asked (by Medicaid) "can you push a lawn mower?"
He answered "maybe" and was removed from Medicaid
(Cont'd)
TX utility grids are so old/ inadequate every winter she experiences loss of electricity/ heat for up to a week each storm occurrence
Houston, TX
Their house is 4 yrs old. Mold is coming thru her pipes. Even into washing machine!
TX pays 'bounty' for reporting women seeking abortions!
Tip for TX: don’t pick up any games more complicated than tiddly winks.
Saw many on Minnesota lakes, was awake ed by their melodious morning wake up calls.
As you surmised, I went with the informal definition because Texas merits it.

Sweet loons.
Sweet water.
Happy Holidays to you!
Houston
Just this morning I commented to my husband that we used to have signs everywhere that read “Texas, the Friendly State”
Now, it’s just freakin’ scary.
Not Florida and not most southern states
in Texas ?
Besides unwanted babies ?
Yes, abbot and patrick are unwanted babies.
a foreign Country
that treats it's people like inmates.
Communist Countries.
If that tree had fallen just 6 inches either way...
Shot dead in a supermarket, declined/illegal health care needs, accidentally lynchmobbed coz of your Hawaii tan? Texas got it all!
If you think life is terrible, come to Texas and stay... 6 feet underground
Good move on your part
Gonna get worse, too. Medical professionals all across the country are closing up shop, or moving to more progressive states.
I don’t blame them. Medical malpractice insurance is high enough as it is, without adding ridiculous variables to it.
Yes.
Imma say 12 years

I have other relatives there who love Trump, and worship Elon. And probably liked Scrooge better before the three ghosts visited him.
Nicely done!!!!
Thank you. 💯
Worst part is you pay for unnecessary treatment
