What would happen if you give predatory businesses/owners free reign in a US state? What if the laws passed protect them completely from any liability while targeting the rights of you and your family? Ever wanted to live within the blast radius of a chemical plant? Come to Texas, but remember, BYOG!

Don't forget that Texas is home to over 200 megachurches, which includes the likes of Joel Osteen, and that's not by accident.

I should open a mega church. My day gig just isn't cutting it anymore and I Iike the idea of getting rich while working only Sundays.

Don't forget that you can operate tax-free, as long as you write it off as a church expense. Don't even have to join a particular denomination and follow their rules. Just start a non-denom, and you too can be God's special little guy who definitely knows all the secrets.

Zero chance in hell I'm moving to that piece of shit, no need to use reverse psychology to protect your Stockholm syndrome master

you're smart; but so many people are moving there that places like california are losing congressional seats due to census numbers shifting towards texas.

Have fun with your gun psychos, failing power grid, and hour of driving everywhere you go. I'm sure some vague sense of "freedom" makes it all infinitely worth it.

We do have our problems, but Texas is in the bottom half of states for gun ownership rate. I'm not sure what the hour driving comment is about - is that supposed to be a traffic or distance jab? Are you legally not allowed to cross city or state lines?
