shut texas down

since the idiot governor wants to hel spread covid the following should be done


1) ban all air travel into and out of texas airports
2) ban cruise ships from docking
in addition every sports league should announce that no games may be played in texas. every entertainer should boycott the state.

the state needs to be economically strangled .

austin,houston,dallas and teh other blue parts need to secede and let teh rest of teh state wither away

NONE of those things would even have a .0000001% chance of happening.

Perhaps you're just fantasizing, like I sometimes fantasize about being in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston.

I know things....
I am very elevated right now, I suspect we are getting the big presents SOON!

Just seeing dipshits who were pardoned go right on creeping it up, other things, I think ya'll forget who controls most of the media, or as it really is for many, their source of information, and some are just insane outliers, and some are the polar opposite, it's the mean or averages we should be MORE focused on then outliers?

Crazy needs treatment or they gonna stay crazy, that is just the way it is!

Once a line is crossed though, we need to put people down and out of their own misery if just too dangerous, and you have to do this!
Now you do not let anti-whatever biases leak into this in any way shape or form, our SC is an epic fail example of that.

Unfortunately the richest are rich due to status quo and that is what we are actually up against?

They could require the Texas teams to play all games on the road... just imagine the implosion from Republicans Mark Cuban (Mavericks) and Jerry Jones (Cowboys) about all the lost home revenue.

They won't but those two are HUGE megadonors to the don't tax the rich crowd.

Not only can’t they secede, the state can abolish them if they chose to.
Posts like these really don’t serve any good purpose.

12. Civil protests in the major cities - that should be enough

Demand the resignation of Gov. Abbott - just like they did in Puerto Rico last year. Get the people of Texas mad enough and anything can happen.

1) ban all air travel into and out of texas airports......who is going to do the banning?

2) ban cruise ships from docking...again, who is going to do the banning?

you might have something with the entertainers, but the sports leagues that play home games in Texas?..that's silly.
