lmao lmao.
Reminder that Texas is a separate grid, which is deregulated and financialized, according to neoliberal ideals of efficiency.
I visited Dallas once. Stayed in a hotel for a weekend-long event. Wanted to go get food. “Hey, I can see stuff right across the street, let’s walk.” The street is a fucking massive highway with no crossings unless you walk like a mile in either direction to get to an intersection and then a mile back to get to the food. Repeat to get back to the hotel.
I had the exact same experience in Dallas. Do we work for the same company or is that just how Dallas is everywhere.
That’s just metropolitan Texas. Houston is just as bad if not worse. Austin is a lot better though but only because the bar is pretty low.
