got laid off in january, i worked for a company that mainly deals with oil companies making equipment for them, and with the dollar and oil prices crashing that left a lot of us out of a job. Irving isnt hiring electricians either, atleast not for another 10 years.(or something like that) i have been looking for a job in the maritimes but there are none that pay well enough to not be poor, though i've had a little bit of luck so i may not move at all because i do like my home here in the maritimes. i'm just making some escape plans in case i don't get a job here.
what allures me about Texas is that its south and warm. as much as i like snow, i do enjoy the heat too. after looking at other places in the world to live, Texas would be my top pick because of their constitution, the fact everyone is arm to the teeth and seem to love their freedoms. as well as they would be able to secede from the united states if they choose to do so, which wouldn't be a bad plan considering the turmoil the government is getting the rest of the country (i do realize that would most likely probably never happen, but the option is there for their citizens). I know kinda sounds like Quebec wanting to leave Canada, but Texas made sure they had an out before joining the union, Quebec just wants to leave cause they think they're better than everyone else from my point of view
and as the other comments say, their economy is doing fine, their housing is affordable. crime relatively low much like where i'm at now. i asked about race relations because i dont want to move to a place that has the BLM and all that bullshit, I don't buy into mob mentality. which again, everyone there is armed to the teeth, which i have no problem with because i can arm myself to the teeth if shit was to go down.
to me, Texas seems to be a logical choice.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to a random internet stranger. I'm sorry to hear about your employment predicament; that has got to be quite frustrating. Hopefully thing swill improve sooner than later for you. Cheers!
