May as well, your patients are already going to New Mexico for care.

Northern California is in need of doctors and you can practice just as you did before Trump was in office.

"Gov recruiting Texas doctors"

LOL. Good luck with that. Even headhunters can't get that done. Same for Louisiana, and Idaho.

It turns out "purposely toxic" isn't much of a selling point.

The New Mexico Govenor is asking Texas doctors to come to her state. N.M. has preserved reproductive care, where OBs can practice without big brother looking over their shoulder and threatening to ruin their lives as is happening in Texas.
Similar problem in Minnesota, because of the influx of patients from red states for gender and reproductive care we need clinicians to care for them.

I've seen doctors who have abandoned -------- red states move to blue ones.

This is not good for Texas patients, but are doctors just supposed to stay with Gov Hotwheels inserting himself between patients and doctors for his partisan political agenda?

I know I'd move too.

Good policy from NM, helping his citizens out due to the blatant ridiculous TX laws.

Saw Vladimir Futon on CNN over the weekend claiming that voters in TX approved the abortion ban there.

I must have missed when it was put on the ballot.

Just more lies from the worst VP candidate ever.

" NM ... ain't no one willing going there."

The Bride and I met friends there a few years ago. We did Santa Fe and environs, and Taos. I thought I'd like SF but love Taos; it was just the opposite. We particularly liked the mountain route between the two, and were lucky enough to hit an art weekend.

Biggest surprise was the first morning in SF: We were staying very near the giant dog park, so I took the pup, thinking nobody would be there at 10am on a Tuesday ... but man was I wrong! The place was quite busy, with scores of cars all over the enormous lot. And the largest BP I've ever seen: LOTS of trails, lots of hills, lots of open spaces.

I chatted up a local at one point, and she said the dog park was the old city dump, and finally the town covered all of it over to create the pup paradise. Smart and progressive.

Our other fave experience was having a bistro dinner on the main drag as the souped-up cars cruised by.

Isn't this the same clown who thought it'd be a good move to try to disarm the people of New Mexico?

Mince words if you want, but she did give local sheriffs the green light to do it and Bernalillo County took her up on it. And that's a fact. Just stop with your misinformation.

The truth is, people are not free in Texas. The Big Brother government of Abbott is always looking over the shoulders and interfering with individual liberty. In Florida it is the same thing. Want to have a book at school? Need to get it past the censors. Want ovdiscuss contemporary issues and contoversies at school? Need to get it past the censors. Want to practice safe, ethical patient focused medicine? Not in Texas or Florida. The GOP has truly claimed the fascist mantle.

Re 7

I spent some time in New Mexico. I thought it was a beautiful state. The people were very nice. The food was awesome. And that big string of red peppers was pretty cool and seemed to last forever. It was hot there but it was a dry heat!

Yeah Legally, I lived in NM for a year for work. I transferred out of there as quick as I could. Santa Fe is nice, but ABQ is a literal --------. Let me break it down to you ... You go to the gas station, you get pestered by someone trying to sell you crap (they literally come up to you while you're minding your business). Driving on the highway on a Friday or Saturday evening? Be prepared to wait in line as the cops do mandatory sobriety checks on EVERYONE. Stabbings are a regular thing in downtown ABQ on Central Ave. The lone positive was Tucanos which was a nice Churasco.

Yeah no way that's over the top lol. It's not that bad over here in the patriarchy. I can buy weed and a gun from stores next to each other. I can't get an abortion, but I couldn't do that to begin with, no uterus. I can't legally distill liquor, but that's federal. You can talk about whatever you want at the college level and take all the courses on socialist theory you can handle. What controversies are you trying to teach to 4th graders that's so important you're willing to go battle the Karens at PTA night?

If they are all going to Texas then apparently they don't. I can think of many better places to move to. If I wanted to. Because. Well. I do have options.

We have the numbers on where people are moving to and from.

ist of U.S. states and territories by net migration

"The first table lists U.S. states and the District of Columbia by annual net domestic migration"

There's only 5 "Blue states" in the top 25 states. Once you get to the bottom 25 states, it's all negative migration, people leaving.

Of the bottom 25 states with negative internal migration, 16 are Blue states, 2 are swing states, only 7 are Red states.

The place with the biggest negative net domestic migration is.. not a state at all. It's DC. People don't want to live in DC.

Y'all can have them southern states. Too damned hot for me.
Me, I'm moving north. I don't know how anyone lives in the
desert southwest. Water rights issues, water availability issues,
infernal heat and summers. Crazy assed politics in half of the
states down there. Not for me.
