lol Texas isn't struggling. Your post is a joke. But because someone said you believed it. Next time research first.
Lol is right. Reich says that Texas's growth is dropping but says nothing about the fact that it's still pretty strong. And I don't know what kind of economist doesn't factor in home ownership to measure community strength and quality of life.
Texas officially is still a red republican state, in the "Trumpland". However, the recent immigration and development trends maybe changing it. In fact, during this year's election, there were talks about TX flipping into a blue state (38 electoral votes, bigger than any other red states).
Some parts of TX are more like California than Detroit MI in terms of economy and demographics. Toyota USA is currently relocating their headquarter from Torrance CA to West Plano TX (just north of Dallas) moving about 3000 employees bringing their families. They are curious what's Plano like -- it actually has about 20% Asian, 15% Latinos, 65% whites ... not that much different from Torrance CA. There are other blue states giant corporations relocating thousands at a time to Plano area.
Low taxes and loose regulations could do something to TX going forward. Democrats did not pay much attention to TX during the campaign, this state actually can change and it's big.
Bingo. For the most part Texas is just like inland CA. I hardly see a difference when visiting inland Cali. Only coastal CA makes CA vastly unique from the rest of the country. I'm in Temecula, CA in the inland right now enjoying thanksgving dinner at a winery and it looks a lot like hill country Texas. CAs act as though Texas is still a cowpoke state. LOL

California would have to bleed so much blue to turn Texas purple, it would become purple.
Weird how companies never seem to move from red states to blue states.

Dont they? Companies often move from red states to third world countries too. Is it because third world countries are so amazing? Or do you think it could be a race to the bottom in terms of pay and benefits in order to whip the workers into submission?
