... Jerry Jones and his NFL pals do it all the time, Tesla is headquartered here in Austin, and his Space Center is in south Texas. Amazon has a huge taxpayer subsidized presence here. I know all about the oligarchs ripping us off here in Texas. Won't even mention the oil industry here. Oops, I mentioned it.

What's your hint, I take down my post?
