Travel in and out of Texas needs to be banned.

[LiberalFighter]

Abbott just announced ending state-wide face mask mandate and allowing 100% capacity at businesses.

1. Yes! Pity the poor truck drivers going in and out of Texas.

2. As an Oklahoman, I am for building a wall along the Red River.

4. I've seen a t-shirt, years ago,

that said: "We are guarding the wrong river"

I believe it was in conjunction with the annual brawl called the Texas-OU game when one is required to wear red or orange to declare allegiance.

3. Move the good people out of there and then let them secede.

5. I live in texas and will be double masking when I go to

the grocery store etc...until I get the all clear from President Biden.
Even after I get vaccinated which will be soon as I am 59 y/o

6. Vaccination rate in Travis County (which includes Austin): 6%.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — With only about 6% of the county’s population aged 18 and over being vaccinated, health officials say the idea of the mask mandate being lifted doesn’t sit well with them and it shouldn’t end anytime soon.

7. Just in time to welcome the new Covid-19 variants. Abbott is #1 menace in Texas.

[dalton99a]

8. He's trying to distract attention from the energy clusterfuck

12. More than a little truth to this theory I think

Not that covering one disaster by starting a new one is real good logic but then he is Repub so why expect any logic at all...or good intentions...caring about others...or any of that basic human decency stuff? I keep thinking we cannot mine any deeper for bad ideas and crazy moves but I guess there is an endless, bottomless vein of STUPID I didn't know existed.

9. Abbot is a natural disaster

He wants to kill as many Texans as he can...

...and blame someone else for it.

Fucking QOP swine.

Yup

[Mersky]

10. He is a menace to public health.

Is killing people with his cruel stupidity. The vaccination lottery that happening here isn’t just threatening liberals. The man is on a power trip, and needs to stop.

I’ve just about quashed his windmills-caused-the-blackouts lie amongst my family members on the rwinger spectrum, and one of my aunts who voted for him thinks he needs to go ASAP.

11. Travel in and out of America needs to be banned

Are we still in America?

[dutch777]

13. The folks that will pay the price are the poor, POC and front line docs/nurses (again).

I pray these people will remember all this and the power snafu too come next rounds of elections and vote accordingly.

14. Abbott's iresponsibility has now effed with my family business.

Due to the TX energy cluster fuck, I am having extreme difficulty ordering the raw product that we use to manufacture our product up here in Montana. I order a two part polyurethane that is the basis for our small business. Without it, I'm out of business. Texas' industrial sector is not yet fully up and running and so I'm two weeks away from shutting down if I can't get product. My only hope is that our business is relatively small compared to the large corporations who also use the same raw product...I might have a chance of our supplier filling my order because they can actually get it done and off their list compared to the orders of a much larger entity. Fingers crossed. However, now that Abbott has opened up his state, I expect to see another wave of Covid that will further the problems down there. If anyone thinks we aren't all connected and that problems in states like TX don't effect you...you've got another thing coming.

15. Wow. What a DA.

[Native]

16. Welcome to Florida, where masks were made to be ignored or vilified.

[liberal_mama]

17. The Texas Governor really seems to want to kill a lot of people!

Smart people in Texas will continue to wear a mask and social distance. Stay away from anti-maskers!

[lostnfound]

18. I'm IN Texas caring for ailing family member and can't get vaccine

Vaccine only available for Texas residents 👀
