CNN's Ronald Brownstein cites the Playbook for Resiliency in his look at how the partisan divide is affecting the country's reopening: "In a recent study, the 'Urban Lab' at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin noted that what it called 'the Texas Triangle — the great region bounded by San Antonio/Austin in the southwest, Houston in the southeast, and Dallas/Fort Worth in the north' accounted for the vast majority of the state's economic output, attracted 98% of its venture capital and generated much higher wages than the state's rural areas. 'It is a tale of two Texases,' it wrote, 'one, an urban powerhouse with a rising knowledge economy that craves more educated talent; and the other, smaller towns and open ranges whose legacy agriculture, manufacturing, and oil extraction businesses are contracting.'"
