When I say Texas is the stupidest state don't get me wrong the people there have normal, intelligent human brains just the same as anywhere, rather it is the worms Texans willingly choose to let into their brains that makes Texas the stupidest state and I refuse to not make fun of Texas for fucking it's future up so unbelievably hard.

I can't imagine how suffocating and depressing suburban car sprawl hell is in Houston, it has got to be a grim life living in that degree of normalized dehumanization.

This year's list placed Houston at No. 127 out of 149 U.S. metros, which were evaluatedon 17 metrics in three categories — socioeconomics, location and community, and quality of life.

"Overall, our research shows a metro that functions effectively as a labor market but struggles with day-to-day living conditions," said study author Adina Dragos in an email.

"Shut Up, Stop Asking For Better & Work Until You Die" - Texas Strong!

Wait I got a better one, Texas should update their state motto to a riff on New Hampshire's with "Live Unfree THEN Die".
