Shit, Abbott et al. lets anyone carry a fucking gun without a concealed permit now, so why not? But the kid who needs medical THC to curb nonstop seizures have some lifesaving relief? HELL NO

You cannot imagine how disgusted I am to have to live in the same city with this narrow avoider of Mother Nature's wrath.

So if these R governors, like Abbott, are passing orders saying institutions cannot mandate the wearing of masks, what's going on in hospitals?

Trust me, they aren't opposing these health measures because of anything that was done to black people.

EDIT: "They" meaning Republicans, I misunderstood that you were referring to African-American's trepidation about something coming from the government. They have every reason to be hesitant.

Abbott at least had the sense to exempt hospitals. So, when you go in for open heart surgery, your doctor will still have to abide by the tyranny of universal precautions.

Fortunately for my waistline, the nearest KK is in the opposite direction from basically everywhere I go, even when "going somewhere" was a thing. However, it is on the way back from the vaccination site.

You bet your ass I picked up my free original glazed on the way home after both stabbings. And a dozen more on my own dime, because KK knows how a loss-leader promotion works.

Only if you say it with your pinkie next to the corner of your mouth.

The good thing about Texas is that when I crossed state lines to get my first Moderna fix there was literally no waiting at the vaccination site in Amarillo - I walked in, filled out a form, got shot and got back in my car for the five hour return drive.

GO ABBOTT!

Edit: GO FUCK YOURSELF ABBOTT!
