Abbott is now telling hospitals to do what they're already doing. 😡

[herding cats]

Hospitals are already doing all they can in Texas and abbot telling them to voluntarily do what they're they're already doing, just to pretend he's doing something, is a joke. We need a mask mandate, not more political theater down here.

1. Governance through the sympathetic magic of fasicst ideology.

demand some ideological platitude be implemented. Doesn't matter if there is a need for it and it is beside the point whether it works. Shamanic politics. Oh and if you create a little wealth (grift) for yourself, all the better.

3. "Governor Abbott takes action"

I immediately thought of a totally forgettable 1960s show called "Mr. Terrific," and one of the characters Barton J. Reed (played by John McGiver) who was always saying, "Now is the time for action! A-C-T-I-O-N, action!"

Gov. Abbott, the One Star State's very own Stanley Beamish.

4. He's also asking for out-of-state health care workers to assist his now fucked-up state.

7. In these no mandate states..

Are hospitals allowed to mandate masks? I’m curious to hear their reasoning if they do.
