Now do Prop 13 and how rich people that moved here in the 70s don’t have to contribute but Gen X and Gen Y has to pay orders of magnitude more. Oh and how CA property tax is 1.1% and Texas is 2-3%

In reply to he's like a vampire, lives on

Imagine the lyrics as if they were the new United States national anthem:

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but
You're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

In reply to Meanwhile AS A TEXAN is

Meanwhile, a friend in CA was passing on a buddy's story of how poorly he was treated as a Tesla worker, promised benefits that never arrived, etc. I'm not quick to jump on these anecdotes, but this seemed legit. Maybe Cali's tired of Elon pushing the boundaries all these years.

Meanwhile AS A TEXAN is trending on Twitter. A few of the Elon Musk stories are scattered in there, but it's mainly people apologizing for the Supreme Court election lawsuit, and explaining that their attorney general who filed it, Ken Paxton, is under indictment for years for securities fraud. Some suggest, like this, that the election lawsuit is basically trying to get a pardon from Trump:

BREAKING: Ken Paxton, the TX AG that filed suit against GA, MI, PA, and WI has been indicted on felony securities fraud charges and is CURRENTLY under FBI investigation for abuse of political power.

This is not a lawsuit. This is a request for a pardon.

God Bless Texas, huh?
