The joys of living in moron texas

Asshole abbott lifts the mask order and it goes into effect on the 10th, BUT that doesn’t stop the morons of Texas! He’ll no! “We ain’t gonna live by those libtard “mandates no more, dang gummit!!”

So the morons down the block from me are have a huge kids part with a bouncy house. No social distancing and no masks.

I know for a fact that none of them have gotten their shots.

I guess they just couldn’t wait to get infected

Ah yes, the morons of Texas

Two to three weeks from now, we are going to have a huge spike via the hand of asshole abbott

Abbott, Paxton, Cruz and their entire band of asshats will be all 'waaaah, Democrats are politicizing this crisis, waaaaaah'.

Just read this out to my better half. Said she saw an item from Idaho. Parents having a kids mask burning party. Two weeks should definitely be an uptick of C-19. You stay safe.

5. Abbott's idiotic mask move is wildly unpopular with lots and lots of Texans.

My wife and I very much included. We're both fully vaccinated, and we will continue to wear our masks and keep our interactions with others limited in scope. Infection numbers are bound to go up in the state on account of Abbott's dumbfuck effort to attract trump voters---we'll get through it. I sincerely hope that Beto O'Rourke runs against Abbott. We're overdue for a capable governor---haven't had one since Ann Richards.

But if it's one of the variant strains, it will put just as many humans in the hospitals as the last one.

We could been just about past it by july 4th, but noooooooo.

I work in healthcare related fields. They offered us all the shot, and they paid for it. Nearly half my coworkers said 'na'.

I'd need the mind stone buried in my forehead to figure out why it wasnt FUCKING MANDATORY.

Missouri is an at-will state. Employers can decide you get to work somewhere else cause you tied your shoelaces the wrong way.

This is absent the idea that my coworkers 'dont trust it.'.
Pardon me for this, but bitch you work in healthcare; which means we do SCIENCE FOR MONEY. If I worked at nasa and I told them I thought the earth was flat because I didnt trust the math of how gravity works, I would fucking well expect to not have that job for very long.

Get your shot. Take your needle and shut the fuck up, or go find someplace else to work.

I also had covid, Christmas week. Mild symptoms for about a week. Was PISSED I had to wait a month to get my shot rounds.

Work still paid for it.

Glad you and yours are ok

It is understood that these willfully ignorant people are dying to leave this planet and it shows with every action they take.

Just be safe and avoid these morons as much as possible.

11. Le sigh, the Abbott variant is upon us

However we never really fell to a solid baseline while the remainder of the nation did ... stayed steady right through that surge.... I had already theorized it, but now with this, of course it will play through, “Texas variant” this fall- but now it’s got a new name.

What part of Texas are you in? I’m in the reddest part of north to, Collin county .... although it’s been posted on doors, people have been shopping without masks here for at least a month! Not many stores enforce it.

Matter fact, our local community college president just got caught sharing emails with state rep. Jeff Leach about firing three professors over their “negative” tweets on pence. Leach said it was a bad look, college president abides.

Same with tRrump, probably telling Abbott that Mexicans are infecting Texas since he lost his precious wall project.
