It might be an indicator of the end of the longer term trend. After all, if more oil is being sourced from other places (shale and fracking), then the price may go down, along with demand for Texan oil.First off, I am talking about a long term growth pattern over several decades, second, no doubt you can find some outlier examples but the overall growth has been to Red states over these many decades.
Some Red states, but not necessarily all. After all, the likes of Alabama, Mississippi are in the toilet economically.
Texas has grown tremendously over the past several decades, if it's slow NOW, it doesn't really change much now does it?

Great . . . if you love homeless people urinating in the background of your evening walk.
This is the city that had to pass an ordinance to make going naked into restaurants illegal.
It's also a wonderful sanctuary city where you can go for a walk with your family on the boardwalk . . . and get shot to death by a twice-deported illegal alien. You might leave your heart in San Francisco--and your blood on the boardwalk.
