For DUers who haven't lived somewhere with toll roads, technologies have advanced

92. Well, if you insist:

22. The price of car insurance is much higher in Tx
as are sales taxes so it won't be good for lower wage workers at all. The uninsured rate is high. There is no place to get birth control unless you are insured. There is no zoning so another explosion such as the sort that happened in West can happen again. The schools in Texas are bad unless you can afford private schools. Even in localities where they are good, science classes will likely teach creationism, and history classes will likely teach Dan Barton's revisionism.
(Major hyperbole over the entire post.)

18. I don't care about Texas or California
I care about states not getting rewarded for degraded environmental, labor standards, women's rights. Those conditions are all horrible in Texas and there is no hope they will ever improve, because of gerrymandering. All states will will eliminate, labor and environmental standards, and will gut women's rights to compete with Texas. That is awful for all non elites.

26. Pretty skeptical of that
If there is any social progress some state will undercut Texas in medievalism. They'd move to Mississippi or something.

27. I don't think that is nearly as awful as getting blown up
or not being able to use birth control.
(The post-title is the hyperbolic bashing part, as if "getting blown up" is a danger in every single part of the state.)

111. It is still in a republican state
and republican ideas are rewarded by the move. So everyone will have to imitate republicans and get rid of unions, minimum wage, zoning laws, and women's rights. Everything business finds inconvenient must go. Child labor laws, sexual harassment laws. All taxes, you name it. We all must elect Rick Friggen Perry, or somebody like him! Race to the bottom! Run faster!
(More hyperbolic bashing and unfounded assumptions about the population.)

The way you say things comes across loud and clear to most as bashing. If that's not your intent, then you need to take more time to parse your thoughts and word it without the hyperbole. You appear to be good at understanding the political problems, yet not so accomplished at avoiding the broad-brush, which is against DU's rules.

The apology I would like is for the totally unfounded stating of what I believe and whom I support in my government. You do not know me, yet seem content to say that I support pRick Perry and all the other repubs in Texas. I don't understand your logic in coming to those conclusions, yet your posts (edited or not, as there's a record of each version) have jumped to them several times so far.
