    Let’s fucking go, it’s about time they got all the benefits of statehood while being beholden to the rules.

    I’ll miss a couple of friends I had in Texas, but I warned them ages ago, so it’s on them.

      They may not like the taxes as much though - there’s a ton of industry and some finance there that might just leave.
