Oh let’s see.
Nasa’s astronaut training center is in Houston.
Ellington Field is a Nasa base.
Mission control in at Nasa Houston.
South Houston and the surrounding community has lots of astronauts in training.
LOTS of local businesses trade on the image of the space shuttle and of astronauts.
Lots of businesses are affected by the number of people employed at Nasa.
There is a local bar/grill that is a favorite hangout of future space travellers.
Johnson space center has lots of artifacts from previous space missions.
The mission control station from the early apollo days is set aside as a museum for visitors to see.
Ok, now for New York’s contributions to the space program.
I’m waiting.
This is nothing but a contiuation of baraq’s targeting our state. First, he transferred the manufacturing of military trucks from a non union plant in Sealy that had been making trucks for years to a union plant in Wisconsin that had never manufactured this truck. Then he screwed the offshore drilling industry with his drillatorium. Next he ignored the wildfires in our state. Federal help? Ha fat chance.
This snub was just another finger in our eye. OK fine, there kenya boy. We get the message
baraq has a special dark place in his heart for the State of Texas. He rates us somewhere around the place of Isreal.
What’s really sick about all this is that an acting president is actively targeting certain states for punitive actions. Guess he meant what he said about rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies.
Who gives a rip about anything “federal” anymore? The fewer ties and obligations we have even the less they can control or bind us.
We should immediately give back all the education, Medicaid and highway money and just hold back on our meager contributions. Then we should fire up the refineries, tell them to kiss our backsides for drilling, make the corporate tax rate to ZERO, place all social security “disability” checks into a pool for distributions ever 2 weeks, and place state toll roads on the border to Mexico with the toll for all sea, air and land traffic to come to the calculated sum of the costs of illegals in our state.
We might have a tough couple of years but the new business would offset the parasites in a couple of years
“Ok, now for New York’s contributions to the space program.
I’m waiting.”
A popular saying in Texas 30 something years ago still applies as far as I am concerned.
“Let the bastards {in NY} freeze in the dark.
It is the Chicago way
