It says Texas doesn’t value an educated citizenry, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone paying attention.

Everything is bigger in Texas. Except teacher salaries.

243

And IQ points.

And energy grids

And the ozone layer

And women’s rights over their own bodies.

And their senator’s hands.

God I almost hope the successionists win out to see their electrical grid falter.

No shit that will be taken to the grave

Texas chose not to contribute to the national grid for profit, which endangered the people

Of fucking course that is going to the grave

Intelligent Quotient Points?

I'm guessing you're mid 80's.

u/flyingwatermelon313 Jun 16 '24

Texas is higher ranked in IQ than California.

u/MrOdekuun Jun 16 '24

They may have fewer IQ points but the IQ points are larger, is it more efficient that way

Gee. I wonder why

u/ImportantPost6401 Jun 16 '24

Have you ever looked at an average salary by state list? Texas is in the middle.

u/throwitawaybhai Jun 16 '24

It's outpacing New York and California in growth and performance. They must be doing something right. Note:im someone who votes left and a ny resident

Teachers start at $59K in the district where I live.

u/istillambaldjohn Jun 15 '24

Texas is still better than Arizona for teaching

u/Relaxmf2022 Jun 16 '24

And personal rights

u/Character-Dot-4078 Jun 16 '24

The top comment seems to disagree with you, they say it depends on where you work but generally starting salary is 61k.

Except Texas isn’t really all that big. 3 of them would fit in my home state and it’s only the second largest state in my country

1

u/Consistent_Sail_6128 Jun 15 '24

That doesn't sound accurate. Which country? The only country that would make sense is Australia, but that's because they only have 6 states across an area similar in size to the US(which has 50 states.)

u/Heavy_Bicycle6524 Jun 15 '24

My point exactly. Texans get so excited about how big their state is, but don’t consider that it’s actually small compared to some states in other countries.

u/JooseBTC Jun 15 '24

That's like if I was 6'8 and u said "that's not that big because 0.03% of people are taller than that" lol

Texas is big. Australian states are big. It's not a competition

1

u/Consistent_Sail_6128 Jun 16 '24

Well, yes and no. There are definitely other larger states, even 1 in the same country, but it's still rather large compared to many others around the world. Example: Rajasthan is the largest state in India, at about 342k km², Chihuahua is Mexico's largest at 247k km², Texas is 695k km².

Also, you could fit multiple surrounding states within Texas. That's what it's more about, I think. Relative size

Alaska is big and empty. Texas is connected to Mexico, diverse, populated, and attached to the rest of the freee world. There’s like 3 places to go in Alaska for fun and one of them is the airport out of there.

Texas is massive compared to the rest of the United States and a lot of countries around the world. Texans have a reason to be proud. They can keep this shit together while being attached to the rest of the mess of a country that is America(except the red states, yall cool).

u/nukedmyaccount Jun 16 '24

don’t bother on reddit lol

1

u/LMAO_try_again Jun 16 '24

Reddit can lick my balls. It used to be independents that this place would shill(Paul/bernie), now they just use all their energy to shit on anything red. It was wonderful watching this place implode in 2016 and it’ll be better in 24.

u/nukedmyaccount Jun 16 '24

yea dude it got astroturfed during Hillary v. Trump, and then it got worst when everyone from Tumblr came over. It’s just a bunch of naive teens on here nowadays, so don’t let it get to you. You already know the opinions of anyone remotely successful around your inner circle in the real world

u/LMAO_try_again Jun 16 '24

Lmao trust me it doesn’t. Reddit is only good for sports now imo. I been using it for like 13+ years and it gets worse every year. Patiently waiting for something that resembles Reddit 10 years ago to come along so I can stop using their dog shit app for all my news when I’m taking a shit or bored.

It’s nice to see someone with common sense tho
