Texas isn’t the US government?

[randbyte]

When people say “US government” they usually mean the federal government…

[what]

That was my point?

[TylerE]

No more than the government of France is the EU government.

[monksy]

It's more like the government of Hungry or Bulgaria in the EU analogy.

[inigyou]

Texas isn't like a small corrupt country. It's like a big corrupt important country, like Germany. If it was small and corrupt it would be ignorable.

[monksy]

They're a small corrupt country.

The only thing slightly redeem about about them economic wise is their gas reserves. The way they run their state is very similar to a corrupt nation as well. They still want to break away from the US.

[inigyou]

So like Russia.

[monksy]

Yes, but Russia has the ability to operate independently. Texas pretends that they can, throws a fit when they have to support others who support them, and whines when they aren't supported.
