The “Texas Miracle” loses some of its magic as Oracle announces it’s moving its new HQ out of Austin and Tesla lays off nearly 2,700 workers.

    Fucking lmao. Dude, Texas has its own beauty, but it isn’t a pretty state.

    I have driven across 49 states. When I go back to the photos I took in Texas, I think “huh, wonder what I thought looked cool here… That lump in the distance?”

    Yes there are hills. There’s even mountains. Not near anything though. Where everything is, it’s flat as fuck. Brown, dirt, sandy boring.

    Hamilton Pool is the most gorgeous thing in the whole state. It is a sight to behold. It’s also 1 hour of boring scenery away from any group of humans conducting any kind of business.

    Easily the ugliest scenery of any state I can think of. Second only to Alabama and Mississippi? At least Louisiana has the bayous. Tennessee has real mountains. Oklahoma has… Grass?

    Texas is fucking hideous. It’s like Nevada without anything cool.

      You haven’t seen Texas, then. Texas has Big Bend, which is my second favorite National Park in the whole country. And I’ve been to over 100 National Parks, Preserves, and Monuments.

      Yosemite is still more beautiful, though.

        National parks are owned by the Feds, so using them as “my state is beautiful” is cheating. Guarantee it TX was actually responsible for the maintenance of their parks… Well they probably wouldn’t exist to begin with, but sure as shit wouldn’t be what they are today
