This would have created a strong science hub and community in Texas, a real reason for the state to be proud of itself, looking towards the future like it did in the 1960s, and that was due to the Democrats with LBJ.
Now instead, they got assault rifle-totin', shit-kicking knuckle-draggers for life, as the whole place builds up inertia sinking into a festering swamp of its' own ignorance.
There would have been t-shirts
EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS
INCLUDING SUPERCOLLIDERS
Would we have never heard the end of republicans bitching and whining about the cost and "our taxpayer dollars" and all that idiocy?
Who knows, considering Texan lawmakers carry an outsized weight in the republican party, and this project meant thousands upon thousands of skilled, high-paying jobs, including creating large new communities populated by scientists from all over the world.
Then after beating CERN to the punch to first detect the Higgs Boson, they would have draped themselves in the flag while chanting USA, USA, USA...
But ignorance and myopia are the horses pulling the republican cart.
We fucked, we need 60s back (with all the mindset).
As one might guess, the republicans canceled it
By accident, which is just straight-up embarrassing. They voted the wrong way by accident and then never fixed it.

Sometime after the 30 minute mark NDT bitches about it.
Haven’t heard of that but i definitely saw debate with R congressman saying basically “why should US pay for it let’s let Europe pay for it”

It only took a couple decades for that whole greedy evil movement to dictate such big decisions.
Stairway to Heaven?
The Apollo 14 moon landing?
There was an auto-body shop in that town all ready to go...Super Collider Collison Repair
Rip small aoto-body business sign.
I bet the US public would vote to fund it if we actually called it Fucking Big Collider and it was the largest in the world.
That'd be the easiest vote of my life tbh
Yes absolutely.
