i would argue that nyers have more pride than ppl from texas, easily.

Exactly Just ignore the Texans. Theirs are egos. They don't have much to brag about.

New York is definitely the state with the biggest inferiority complex

They are jealous that both California and Texas are more important than NY

Lmao, I've never heard anyone in person say NY has an inferiority complex. CA and TX are more popular on the General US forum. Go read the NYC forum and TX forums; you'll see which has more threads about wanting to move to those locations.

Just ignore the NY'ers. They are just jealous because they are not the best anymore (since about 1950 or so)

People vote with their feet and NY has no prayer here as well as trying to compete with California and Texas

NY isn't called the Empire state for no reason, you know.
