Even blue collar jobs today require a modicum of education and training. If you have that and are willing to live in the south, you can find work.

Texas is dead weight. I really wish they would secede so we could launch an offensive against them.

Texas is a great state. Unfortunately, it's wasted on Texans.

I would love to see the US military invade Texas and give them a big slice of humble pie.

Probably around a third to half of them would be getting a slice of pie baked by their mothers at home.

This article is 100% correct - you boys best cut your losses and get rid of us before we become an even bigger drag on the US economy. You've gotten all the good you can get out of us, it's time to cut the dead weight. Added bonus, the SEC west champ can add international champion to their resume.

There are. They may require relocation to another part of the country but there are good paying blue collar jobs, mainly in the construction trades.
