Just lamenting the fact that some of us are stuck in this state wondering what the hell happens next.
I know for a fact....people that have minimum wage jobs, no insurance, no job security, utilize Medicaid and Food stamps--teachers and parents that complain about overcrowded classrooms and dumbing down of the schools ....just voted against their own interests...again.
I was telling my daughter that when I start hearing people complain about losing what they need to survive, the first question I am going to ask is "who did you vote for?" If they say nobody or Greg Abbott...then my answer will be "you are getting what you voted for, why are you mad?"
When an entire state of people elected a crook that has stolen billions of their hard earned money and gave it to his buddies are willing to overlook that but bitch about a person on food stamps buying a candy bar, I have no more faith in this state.
