Are the operators of those leaf blowers Amuricans or from other places?

I live in a retirement community that was built by non-union, mostly non-citizens or even green-card holders.
The builders say they cannot get the labor in the numbers nor wages they needed.
True? I have no idea.

This hardly does justice to the number of these culture war disasters that are making their way through the legislature. For example, the assault on higher education embodied in SB16, 17, and 18. https://www.texasaft.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Texas-SB-16-17-18-analysis.pdf

Saw in a comment recently: Lone Star State – It’s a rating.

Interesting that the Texas legislature would apparently be unswayed by any argument against vouchers by Democrats. It’s only when they heard from high schools wanting to keep up their football program that any Republicans thought to weigh the consequences.

@xcopy

If that were to pass and the supremes gave states the right to patrol their own borders, shouldn’t that also empower other states to vigilantly defend themselves from a Texan or south carolina invasion? Asking for a friend.

When Texas and Florida get rid of migrants by busing and flying them to other states, should those states have the right to enact sanctions?

[darrtown]

Who needs to vote in Texas? It won’t count in some cities.
And who cares about education when ya got football?
LGBQT+??? Shoot 'em on sight
Local city council? Feh!! Fire 'em all!!!
And who the hell let them Mexicans in here??

@bdtex

County Judges and County Commissioners in Harris, Travis, Dallas and El Paso counties et.al. were out in front.

And Bexar?
Look you guys, one day you are going to have to admit San Antonio exists.

I always thought it was nutty to hate a whole state.
I’m making an exception for TX. I despise those people.

5.26 million Texans voted for Biden compared to 5.89 million that voted from trump.

Hating the whole state is no better than the idiots here that hate California and New York.

Sorry. Left Bexar out. My bad.

It’s not only sports. Rural school districts are often the biggest local employer.

That’s why - for now - rural GQP legislators have tended to vote with urban Dems to block vouchers.

I spoz you’re right. I withdraw my hatred, substitute annoyance.

[justruss]

Mayor Ron and Nelson Wolfe were right out there with the rest of the pack. And of course we have the Castros as well.

[mozhno]

Lots of real stupid looking dudes in cowboy hats. At first I thought it was a joke. I then realized that they are the joke.

@noonm

The only surprise is that it took this long for them to realize the impact it would have on their Friday Night Lights culture.

Our current Texas Legislature is not known for looking before they leap.

[machoneman]

All hat(s) as I see no cattle! Empty heads too

Texas’ Legislature Advances Sweeping Smorgasbord Of Right-Wing Bills

There are two weeks left in the Texas legislature’s biennial legislative session, and a raft of hard-right bills stand to get passed to Gov. Greg Abbott’s ® desk.

Texas clearly has a legislature full of ignorant pigs.

[bdtex]

Yes. Seems like such a long time ago already.

[redheadedgammy]

And there are plenty of these asshole cowboy hats all over Texass. Fuck em all is my thought.
