What does all this mean? Money is everywhere. I've never seen a state with more non-college educated people making money hand over fist. The reason I mentioned construction above? I know several people in the construction business that break a sweat trying spelling the word 'cat', that are making mid 6 figures a month, and spend it like water. Guy I recommended TCH to was going to Winstar every weekend with $30k and didn't care if he came back with any of it.
TLDR: Vegas is for suckers, Texas is where the easy (and big) money is.
Ah, so the poker players there reflect the intellect of the state in general? That would make the average game about as hard to beat as if all the players were toddlers.
I can barely stomach the idea of going to that hot, barren, dusty, ugly wasteland--America's toilet--and interacting with--ugh--
Texans, but if there's money to be made, that won't be the case for long. I can probably be there in the winter without vomiting every hour. So strike while the iron is hot and the players are dumb, I guess.
The cost of living in Texas, of course, must include factoring in the occasional $10,000 electric bill, but I would just live in a hotel for the duration. I'm sure Governor Abbott will continue to take every precaution to keep us all safe from the coronavirus
