Probably for the same reason why plenty of other coastal states have one; Search & Rescue, natural disasters, and other emergencies.

Malleum posted:But why is the State Guard running it? Unless I'm horribly misreading the rest of the Wikipedia articles on US Naval Militias, most other states have their maritime militias and regular militias segregated with different command structures for whatever reason. But Texas has them all under the same umbrella, along with the State Guard Air Force. It's a hold over from when Texas used to be a independent country that was never changed since probably because no one wants to be the one to reorganize an entire branch of the national guard.

The west coast has has anti-vaccination/homeopathic/anti-science movement, the east coast is full of anti-gun nuts that hates everything that isn't white, Florida is full of crazy people, Russia is turning into the Third Reich, Canada elected someone so weird it makes America look good, Europeans hate Muslims, China wants to pollute the world, and Texas' super religious conservatives are amazing more politically motivated than everyone else. Realize the world is hosed as we know it, become cynical, lose faith in humanity, start drinking, and get over it like me, and putt all your eggs into space travel. Everyone is equally as terrible as everyone else.

There are lot of screwed up things about Houston/incorporated, but at least you don't have to worry about parking or traffic for the most part (assuming you avoid the extremely out of date 45 forever like you should).

Well I don't know what to tell you, you're in the epicenter of one of the biggest and most profitable business oriented cities in the United States. Generating money and big business is what we're all about, all I can say is that I'm sorry if Houston isn't a good fit for you.  Rexicon1 posted:e: or being confused why there aren't any goddamn recycling bins anywhere. Houston is massive and the population is extremely spread out, there isn't enough concentrated foot traffic to warranty their use or expense. Scrap yards and recycling centers focus most of their efforts at targeting people's home for their recyclables. Recycling as a whole is pretty health and competitive in Houston at the moment.

Astrodome is one giant cluster gently caress: -One of owners, and the primary reason why no one can do anything with the Astrodome, wants Houston to renovated it and turn it into a historical building. -One group of investors want to turn it into one of the worlds largest indoor amusement park. -Another group wants to turn it into, essentially a Megacity One Block, by converting the interior into a giant convention center with it own series of hotel complexes, a mall, a movie theaters, and god knows how many restaurants. -And now you have Harris County want to turn it into a parking garage/shuttle hub.

DangerZoneDelux posted:Yeah nothing you said makes any sense. When I am DC next week I will use DC Metro along with Uber. Either way it's not all rich tech bros using Uber. I don't know the specifics but why did Uber bail from Austin and not Houston? They worked out a solution with the city of Houston and I am curious why it didn't work out that way in Austin Because Houston is a massive city with a much bigger population than Austin (especially when you include unincorporated Houston), that gets a massive amount domistic and international traffic from across the global. We safely generate enough business to were they can't ignore us and we can still tell them they can go gently caress themselves. They tried pulling the same poo poo and it didn't work.

It was never a big story and, in an atypical fashion, got overblown. There were only a handful of conspiracy theorists who were making big deal about Jade Helm, but it got a of lot coverage because it was a slow news week at the time, and the news media is like a group of lemming, when one of them reports something they all start reporting something.
