Speaking as someone whose ancestors were governed by the Medicis, I just think these Columbus crybabies need lighten up, maybe crack open a book, and have a glass of wine 🍝

In sum, modern day Tony and Gino in Nutley, New Jersey are out here going to the mat for the dipshit who collaborated with their ancestors' oppressors. Total loser energy!

In 1492, the southern kingdoms (of what is now Italy) were ruled by Spain. The Castillian and Aragonese kings of the day sent their bastards and failsons to watch over their Mediterranean inferiors. Meanwhile, Columbus came out of Genoa, a wealthy and autonomous republic in the north.

...Texas has continued sprawling and chewing up empty ranchland to build cheap, egalitarian-ish 'burbs.

Of course they had to generate a bajillion tons of extra CO2 in the process, but I think they beat us on the racial integration scoreboard.

Just saying!

This is one way that Texas is, however unwittingly, more progressive than California. While our astronomical housing costs have steadily drained disadvantaged minority groups out of urban areas of opportunity, leading to neo-feudalist resegregation...
