  1. Don’t forget inflation through tariffs
  2. Altima drivers need a shout out, esp with paper plates (which are thankfully on their way out)
  3. Why not just tell that agent he can have a grand or two to shepherd the transaction.
  4. You had me til that last paragraph, now it’s gonna have legislation banning it in Tx
  5. Slight issue, dems are owned by and made up of corps/1%ers themselves.
  6. Maga is so far off the deep end we have Steve bannon and Josh hawley outwardly opposing. Wtf
  7. Colorado is overwhelmingly mail vote along with a few others.
  8. Fuckin pussy democrats, all we heard for four years “bidens hands are tied, he can’t kick dejoy out” then one pen stroke and the entire damn thing dissolves
  9. Good timing now that it’s down one dime, one nickel and 4 (rip) pennies (rip).
  10. Texas house bill on vouchers should drop this week, committee debate on Thursday I believe
  11. Listen to the Texas Take podcast from a couple weeks ago. They go into a 30 min deep dive, one thing brought up is a gop party leader in Fort Worth calling out this bill/setup as a vendor bill that’s being set up to benefit those hand picked management companies. They get a cut of the ~8% total admin overhead. If this grows to 5Bn as planned that means there’s $400M in admin fee less whatever the comptroller needs.
  12. Another interesting sidebar… Something I’ve been told by reliable folks at top tier (tuition level at least) private schools is those elite schools aren’t planning to accept vouchers. Don’t need em, don’t want the potential for state bullshit attached.
  13. So a plastic table and chairs are the key to coyote prevention, not the spiral staircase.
  14. Curious how it plays out here. Could see it going either way on where the vouchers end up considering it’s less than 100k kids on a public school system with almost 6M
  15. I guess this goes here https://www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-texas-girl-bullied-over-familys-immigration-status-takes-her-own-life-575984
  16. Far from an expert like Wally but getting the itch to sell off a lot of stuff right now
  17. I’m no expert but 504 might not even matter when dept edu goes away and there’s no oversight on states services for sped.
  18. In current form it’s supposed to go to the poor… but in this case poor is defined as household income up to 155k roughly. Then after that it goes to a lottery or some shit, idk. Homeschoolers get 2500 or something. Special needs students get 12k, but again, no private school is required to accept them and any special ed school worth a shit almost certainly costs much more. the 1Bn kitty is supposed to grow to 5Bn by end decade. ~8% of the total funds will go toward the comptroller to administer it all along with a handful of hand picked ‘program shepherds’ to assist families on navigating it all.
  19. That’s the fault of the democrats you fuckin commie, plus all the illegals students taking up the class seats, free lunch, and overall funding from your little Jackxsyn.
  20. When the opposition is backed by billionaires and our voters are so incredibly dumb, idk man that’s a steep hill. They ruthlessly and shamelessly primaried their own hard right conservatives incumbents over this issue.
  21. Abbott/gop will just run the regular old distraction playbook of socialism, gay hate, and immigration and will retain the overwhelming lions share of supporters currently claiming revolt.
  22. Gotta be bulk orders/gift basket type shit. Only way I can imagine it working. Plus margins on popcorn gotta be insane.
  23. https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3528209
  24. Seeing reports that immigration judges and staff are being slashed when there’s a near 4 million backlog of immigration cases. I mean it just makes sense to hold the illegal devils in a camp somewhere until their hearing, and we don’t want them just sitting around doing nothing do we? Idle hands and all.
  25. If this small sample is any indication we have a long way to go on pain waking ppl https://apple.news/AlGj8yyl_RaS31q7SZ3LDXA https://www.axios.com/2025/02/14/arizona-voters-trump-elon-musk-executive-orders
