Can you elaborate on how Texas has big gov in peoples life that SFBay doesnt?


Under Texas franchise laws, consumers can only buy cars from auto dealers and can’t buy them directly from automakers.

As it stands in the Lone Star State, Tesla’s company-owned outlets can’t legally sell a Tesla in Texas. This is even more hilarious given they are building the Cybertruck in Texas.


Both are authoritarian, just depends on if you like left vs right wing authoritarianism.

Texas more strongly limits the drugs you can put in your body. Limits access to abortions. etc...

California limits guns, has vaccine mandates. Limits smoking in your own condo. etc...
