4 Texas cities in top 10 destinations for people moving

 CNBC:

...

Houston, Las Vegas and Phoenix topped this year’s edition of truck rental company Penske’s annual Top Moving Destinations report, which uses data from its one-way consumer truck rental reservations to compile a list of the country’s 10 most popular cities for movers. More generally speaking, the Sun Belt led the way, with Dallas, Austin and San Antonio also ranking highly.

...

Here are the country’s top 10 moving destinations for 2021, according to Penske’s report:

  1. Houston
  2. Las Vegas
  3. Phoenix
  4. Charlotte, North Carolina (which hasn’t ranked in the top 10 since 2017)
  5. Denver
  6. San Antonio
  7. Dallas
  8. Orlando, Florida
  9. Austin, Texas
  10. Chicago (which hasn’t ranked in the top 10 since 2015)

Penske says it’s been compiling its annual list since 2010. U-Haul also publishes a similar report each year, using data from its own one-way rental customer transactions, most recently identifying the country’s top states for movers as Tennessee, Texas and Florida.

...

Note that no cities in New York or California made the list.  It is surprising that Chicago made the list with its recent history of crime and its leftist politics.  Houston remains a fast-growing area with abundant attractive neighborhoods.  Austin is attracting a lot of people from California.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
