Yeah, Austin has been leftist insane operated for decades now. I'm waaaay farther south than that. So far Houston doesn't rock that way even though ONLY Dem Party mayors ever get elected nowadays. The thing is that they KNOW what will happen to them if they go Wide Full Open leftist insane as far as governing this city goes.
As for our V.A. hospital, it's still efficient and provides a sane environment for its patients. So far anyway. Since I'm going to continue going in and out of there for another decade -- or until my end of life expiration date arrives -- this is good for my own personal peace of mind.
