They need to figure out what happened with that outage thing.

Turns out that it was Biden's fault. The generating plants that were online were limited to 80% capacity by the Feds, and the executive branch wouldn't give a waiver.

Easy to explain. Texas does not have good city engineering. For example, Houston was submerged in 50 feet of water after a recent storm came through. Do you think other states don’t get torrential rains as well, but somehow don’t lose large cities from the flooding? It’s engineering, and Texas obviously doesn’t have quality infrastructure enough to handle a bit of cold weather. That’s not really the current Governors fault, it takes decades to build stuff.

They can have local mandates, I suppose. They just won’t be able to enforce them.

Sweet. I will be curious to observe the behavior of the snowflakes.

That's going to be the best part of this.

Well I never wear a mask. If you look closely, they are just recommended. Desantis has no such mandates.

You can wear a mask. You just don’t have to. Leave it up to the individual

Please see my March tagline re the Covid 19 circus.

Kudos to governor Abbott.

Government doesn’t decide when and if I wear a mask. If anyone thinks the founders would have signed off on this level of power well...what can I say. If you argue that it’s a states right issue then I say from a moral standpoint it’s disgusting. Also,if you it’s states rights then how could you complain about the Tyrants in NY & California

Looks like the moderators bounced it from “Breaking News” as is their right. But I expect it will be making headlines around the world.

DeSantis has no statewide mandate, which is good. But, each county can set its own regulations, which I believe most of Tampa Bay counties follow.
