Houston is under a state of emergency from flooding. One part of the city has broken its all time high water mark by at additional forty feet!!
I'm a bit surprised there is more than 40 ft of relief inside Houston.

Good let Texas deal with the their own issues without my support, I live in NY, I've never even seen Texas.
And you know what once they do leave, I hope that Mexico takes over it.

LOL - not likely. More likely to go the other way, Texas will invade Mexico and take it over. Hell, maybe we'd end up with out own mini China right to the south.
And if that happens, and you think we have a border problem today... you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Eleven counties want a vote. The problem is... if they vote to do it, they still don't have any right to do it. Not that a vote isn't useful to see what people think but given that Texas is going to be a primarily hispanic state before any separation could take place, they should think carefully about what this means. Texas will be a Spanish speaking, "Little Mexico" very different from where it is today leveraging the northerns living there to buoy the votes.

No I hate stupid people. Wooh let's leave the US.
At least Mexico has their shit together,
government anddrug cartels run everything.... so there is a single unifying factor. -

Drug cartels aren't an American problem, or even a Mexico problem, they are a Human problem. The need for money and or the addiction created by the drugs is cause for the state of Mexico and Texas (and everywhere else where there is constant murder etc).
Murder for money to try and sell an addictive drug.
The only way to fix that is to make it so much more expensive for the drug cartels to operate that they just stop. (would they no) so you also have to create an equitable job market in these area, as well as you have to exterminate the hatred from the community as whole, bloods crypts (whatever it is in Mexico).

Not really. they were created by the American legal system. The war on drugs created the drug cartels. Just as the prohibition era created the organized crime syndicates. There is a reason that drug cartels only exist where they can ship to the US... it's part of the US government's artificially created drug ecosystem. Most of the world has drugs but not cartels and the drugs are not nearly as lucrative. The American legal system has created an inflated market and a need for powerful, dangerous cartels that most of the world has not created. It's a byproduct of the US, not of humanity, drugs or business.

Stop making drugs so hard to get and worth so much money and their power evaporates. It's trivial to destroy the cartels. But there is a huge political power in pretending to fight them.

Easy to get seems very counter-intuitive.
Most people would say they want the yacht and super-sports car.
While they might like the Honda and the dingy, they'd much prefer the more flashy item.

Why? That's how the market works. Flood the market with easy to get product and the price will plummet making it unlikely and unprofitable for a cartel or other entity to bring them into the US.
