I have posted lots of articles on what I am calling the Failed State of Texas. This is a good one, from Vox, but I will limit these in the future. It has basically all been said at this point.

It has nothing to do with left or right, rich or poor. I will double down on this and say that if the same group of people is running your city / state / country for more than say, a decade, you are living in a corrupt, failed state.
