Texas is Open for Businesses!!
Which counties have ordered a shelter in place? Which have not? They’re all open as of midnight tonight, Greg Abbott’s new executive order supersede any local county or city orders.
In Other News:
Here is just some of today’s headlines:
- Dallas County reported their highest one-day increase in deaths today, (4/30).
- Tarrant County reported their highest one-day increase in deaths today, (4/30).
- The ENTIRE State of Texas reported their highest one-day increase in deaths today, (4/30).
- More than 100 inmates in Bexar County Jail have tested positive for Coronavirus.
- Over 250,000 Texans filed for unemployment last week. Which makes a total of 1.5 million Texans in the last 6 weeks.
- Texas won’t cut unemployment benefits for anyone over 65 if they refuse to go back to work. Everyone else, you’re screwed. Even if you’re 64, even if you have and underlying condition, like diabetes.
- Childcare is still open, but only for essential workers. If you work in retail or at a restaurant, and your boss says you have to come in, you won’t be able to get child care. And as we all know, that would be job abandonment in Texas, and you won’t qualify for unemployment.
Yes, we are still talking about JUST today’s headlines.
- Rural hospitals are on the verge of closing.
- Texas still won’t release the number of deaths related to nursing homes.
- A 30 year-old federal inmate ON a ventilator, who just gave birth, and had coronavirus died in a Fort Worth Prison.
Are you mad yet? You should be.
All of these things are handed to you, in your face by the deep-red, oil-loving, people-hating GOP of Texas. Stop voting for these assholes! Stop being a non-voter! Serious, STOP! Vote. Always Vote. And always vote for a candidate who is going to work for the people and not the highest bidder, (like Greg Abbott.)
Texas is much more than a bunch of old rich dudes who kill off people so their wallets can get fatter.
