It’s still fucked up. Nobody wants to spend the money and do the work necessary to make sure these people are capable of living comfortable lives. They’ll just keep getting handed off and shipped elsewhere over and over.

I would think they’d want their Texas state tax money to go toward solving some of Texas’ problems, like their abysmal maternal death rate or their ludicrously fragile electrical grid.
The GOP has gone completely mask-off, and no longer even bothers pretending to care about enacting policy to help constituents anymore. They don’t have to. They know their base will vote for the ‘R’ no matter what.

Republicans are completely lost in the sauce, and have made hurting others that they don’t like or understand their top priority. Their only priority actually. And this gets them elected again and again.
I don’t know how you’d even begin to fix this. We’re broken beyond repair.
