  • They could just have checkpoints on the exit roads on the state. There are a lot of things Texas republicans are doing with police, namely allowing them to be border patrol agents with authority to deport people. This, along with precedent being pushed that police can find probable cause after the fact that you’re arrested, police can just arrest first because they saw a women “who looked pregnant.” I foresee women becoming second class citizens really soon in red states, and its really troubling.

    It will never happen in my opinion. America’s is completely controlled by oil, and Texas is the heart of the American oil industry. Having a bullet train would undermine their profit margins.

    Then there are NIMBYs who would tie up projects on a city level.

    It seems like the current Texas government is more concerned about identity politics than actual progress.
