WOW. Texas Governor @GregAbbott_TX is blocking the extra $300/week for unemployed Texans. The supplemental assistance doesn’t cost Texas anything.

There are still one million Texas out of work from the pandemic.

4. Every Red State quickly secured their political positions by legislating...

Every Red State has now followed the same m.o.


Has Abbot fixed the grid problem TX will again face as the heat of summer approaches?

Nope.
But he has certainly secured voter suppression & stripping of Fed survival funds for all them poor "lazy" people that don't wanna work!!"

10. He is solely doing this to appease the Republican right. Otherwise he has 0 chance of getting out

of a Republican primary.

Somehow makes it worse...

11. It needs to be explained why it benefits even those not receiving it.

13. Not surprising

Small town Texans upset that the folks making less than $3 an hour aren’t going to work at Sonic so they can’t get their foot long coneys.
