Are Texans Nice? Apparently not.

This story was in the Houston Chronicle today. According to a recent study, it appears Texans are not particularly kind or friendly. Texas ranked 42 out of 50 states. Two years ago, we ranked 4th. What is going on? I must say, Since the pandemic, I find drivers on the freeways to be increasingly rude and aggressive. No one seems to show courtesy to one another. The number of road rage incidents especially involving guns is scary. I find overall that people are impatient. What are your observations?
