“Didn’t Tesla move their HQ to Austin recently?”

Deport posted info on Tesla’s move to Austin in Post #15.

The city council plans to cut the Austin Police Department budget by one-third and redirect some of the funds to abortion and food programs.

Totally insane.

The 2nd city running against Austin for the gigafactory location was Tulsa, OK. I wonder if Tesla could rethink its TX selection and go back to Plan B. Since the selection of Austin over Tulsa is only a month or so old, they may have minimal $$$ invested in TX at this point.

I think City of Austin may need some Texas Rangers very soon...

How stupid are people? Leftist idiots cut the police force in their city. Then the rest of the state is on the hook to pay for their policing? Screw that. These idiots want to embrace the suck, let them embrace it! Reap the whirlwind, suckers!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

The stare should bill Austin for the extra policing.

The stare should bill Austin for the extra policing.

And the State should also.

Karen Abbott will do whatever the puppet masters tell him to do.....same as they did with masks and shutdowns of targeted businesses. Austin needs to learn a lesson and not depend on the rest of Texas to “save them from their folly.”

[Deplorable American1776]

My answer will be 3 words: “Oh, Hell No!!”

[Feckless]

F 'em. Like many Texans, I am embarrassed and sickened by Austin, the San Francisco of Texas, and the morons who live there and run it.

Let them suffer from the Gubbmint they created, maybe it will mobilize the other half of the population there to do something other than tolerate their BS.

I don't want my state taxes propping up some Third World Crap Hole like my Feral taxes do.

Hanoi in the Hill Country has been circling the bowl for several years, might as well flush it and start over.

[Guenevere]

You wouldn’t say that if you had family living there.
I do.
They are misguided .....but was not a part of this .....
I am worried for their safety

Austin was a beautiful city in the Hill Country of Texas.......but it is every bit as liberal as you can imagine.....

I do know there are many Christians in Austin and some very good churches.
They get caught up in the consequences of others actions.

The rest of us in Texas have been wiping Austin’s a$$ for way too long, hoping they would learn to wipe their own. It’s time to let them swim in their own tub of crap. If you go any direction out of Austin city limits, it’s a whole different Texas. (At least, until you get to San Antonio)

Abbott is too concerned about forcing everyone in Texas to wear a face-diaper to focus on much of anything else.
