I think I may not have thought carefully enough about the political risks of moving to Texas

@trinsec Boston, Massachusetts... I don't feel like Texas is some awful place or anything, but the abortion ban is scary now that it is in place. I want to have kids in the next few years, and it's really scary to think that my wife could be denied emergency treatment measures because the doctor is afraid to get prosecuted as an "abortionist". Like in the case of a pregnancy gone wrong, they may hesitate to perform certain procedures or administer certain drugs that are also used for abortions.

MA -> TX, wow. Talk about culture shock! Depends on the city, though, I suppose.

Yeah, it's a risk for companies, too. I'm sure there are a lot of folks cancelling their CyberTruck orders right now...
