My old poorly insulated house from the 70s with an undersized AC unit is driving me nuts this summer but at least I have big mature trees in the front and all the houses in the neighborhood don't look the same.

When 99 was built, driving through Bridgeland made me think it will be hopelessly underwater in the event of another Harvey type hurricane inundating Harris county. Ah, well nevertheless

Mistaken Frisbee posted:https://twitter.com/ReproRights/status/1687610183067844608?s=20 Definitely a victory, but I wonder about the specific effects, since a lot of the work anti-abortionists do is to just discourage doctors from getting anywhere near abortion for fear of the law coming down on them. Doctors may still be reticent to give treatment even if it's legal.

as much as i love watching the tamu ~community~ continue to own themselves over and over again, I gotta wonder about how this bullshit will impact hiring at other schools in texas (both public and private) who were already fighting the perception that we're a bunch of dumb rednecks.

I don't think the saga of A&M changing their mind because they realized that they needed to endorse racism will have much of an impact beyond A&M, the story of a professor getting suspended for a tenuous claim of speaking ill of Dan Patrick might make more waves, but that still seems pretty linked into A&M's more unique attitude. The ongoing fight against the specter of "critical race theory" is the bigger danger for hiring teachers statewide, and the purposeful demolition of Houston's school libraries might discourage people. Florida is having a much worse time with scaring away teachers right now, and while Texas does tend to follow in Florida's wake, it tends to not be as reckless so far.

i know at least here in Houston that non-profit cultural entities have trouble convincing national hires to move to texas considering the national perception of Texas re: crt, anti baby murder, guns, etc, etc. this tamu poo poo can't help that perception

At the university I work in the issue is pretty much the same it's always been, that our wages aren't particularly competitive with the private sector in a high cost of living area.

youre going to see companies slowly diminish their white collar footprint in Texas as no one wants to actually live here but this is going to be a decade plus long action which will also be offset by the state continuing to throw massive welfare at corporations to get them here in the first place. probably the most immediate effect you'll see in the great culture war is physicians, particularly specialists who can make seven figures anywhere in America, nope'ing out of here.

There's so many bummers contributing to the drain; the political environment sucks, backwards local and state policies, incumbent incompetent leadership, housing affordability, property taxes are sky high, and bizarre income gulfs.

White collar going WFH, and some going from WFA in the US is going to offset that. Texas will be able to lure the corporate HQ here but they'll have their employees scattered. My company has already started offering WFA for new hires and it'll only be a matter of time before the employees that have converted go WFH are allowed to convert to WFA too. I honestly think it just hasn't come up yet for the WFH people yet.

I have a hard time believing the TAMU debacle will affect non-TAMU system universities, but state policies will. There are already plenty of stories out there about families leaving other states because of legislation being passed.

I don't know that companies will actively diminish their footprint so much as people will simply not take jobs that require them to move to Texas. WFA will be popular - nobody really cares where their employer is based, but if you have a trans person in your immediate family, or you care about reproductive rights, moving to a place like Texas makes zero sense.

The fascists in state government seem hell bent on taking complete control over A&M, and they will probably try to use that to control other state schools. It's really annoying because I don't know if I met many conservatives at A&M, most people I met were surprisingly progressive, except for one girl who I think was just parroting what her parents told her.

I don’t see how the Joy Alonzo stuff could NOT affect other state universities. There’s nothing TAMU specific to it, the snitch daughter wasn’t even an A&M student, she was at UTMB. Dan Patrick went to the University of Maryland.

It was still TAMU that immediately suspended the professor prior to the investigation. If nothing else, I would expect the administration of every other school to be taking notes on the backlash, and deciding how they'll react if something similar happens.
