Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he would “impose a 100 percent tariff” on New Yorkers moving to Texas.
“After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” the Republican wrote on X on Monday night.
Abbott’s post came on the eve of New York City’s mayoral election, in which Democrat Zohran Mamdani is the frontrunner. He is facing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo—who is running as an independent after Mamdani emerged victorious in the Democratic primary in June—and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
We get Texas commercials in Seattle, lmao. Who the fuck wants to willingly go there.
Texas is a massive rich petro-state with zero social safety net, I can’t think of a more stupid ideology about the best way to run things than the way people do in Texas.
The power grid bullshit alone is murderous to vulnerable people.
DO NOT move there!
Roger, Roger
Look, if you’re a Star Wars droid, admit it! Then, you don’t even need food or shelter…
If you can find good Tex-mex food outside of Texas there’s really zero reason to go there.
