What we've been seeing here, since Scott Walker took office, is the Texanization of Wisconsin. A place where the Unions, who brought us the Weekend and the 8-hour day, are anathema to much of the populace. A place where the child poverty rate skyrockets; Texas has just about the highest percentage of children in poverty of any state. A governor who denies the reality of human-caused climate change,
even as Rick Perry's hellhole hometown broils in the worst drought in over 50 years, with the driest July on record. I reckon one very likely reason the misanthropic Houston billionaire Charles Koch has his beady eye on the Badger State is the Yellow Rose of Texas has withered terribly in the widespread desertification. Thieves like the Kochs, George W. Bush and Rick Perry definitely covet our comparatively vast freshwater resources, that much is a certainty. They cast their greedy glance northward to the Great Lakes region with marked envy: Texas is rapidly becoming unlivable, (considerably?) sooner than the Northland.
