Texas Governor Greg Abbott actually thinks New Yorkers give his state a thought.
He says on Twitter that after today’s election, he’ll place a tariff on New Yorkers who want to move to Texas.
This guy is really a joke.
New Yorkers wouldn’t move to Texas if space aliens landed in Central Park.
The state is a backwater, with looney tunes political policies and backwards ideas about race, women, and everything else.
It’s also hot as hell even during the winter.
Seriously, I know a young couple who were pregnant with their first child and lived in Austin. They moved to North Carolina before the baby was born because they were afraid — god forbid — that if something went wrong, Texas’s punitive medical laws could affect them.
The baby, I’m happy to report, entered the world healthy, and happy to be in a halfway normal state.
After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.

Abbott is one of the great oafs of the Republican party, an insult to the people of Texas who don’t subscribe to his asinine ideas. Maybe his cowboy hat is too tight.
Yee ha! Listen, Greg, no one’s leaving NYC after the election. We have the Yankees. You have the cheating Astros, case closed. We send you Broadway touring productions. You have to live with the fact that “Oklahoma!” is a famous musical. You’re known for cactus and trying to harm immigrants.
