Abbott was just happy to be included.

Hilariously he is not evil or insane enough to ever be a national player. But he will try anyway.

Maybe Abbott should commit a crime to raise his profile and get more votes.  Something heinous, like parking in a non-handicapped space.

(AP) - The ongoing measles outbreak in West Texas has doubled in size to 48 cases, mostly in children and teens, making it the state’s worst in nearly 30 years.

State health officials said Friday in a news release that those who are infected are either unvaccinated or their vaccination status is unknown. Thirteen people have been hospitalized.

The outbreak has spread from its epicenter in Gaines County, with single-digit cases in nearby Lynn, Terry and Yoakum counties. Officials in the area also expect the outbreak to continue to spread in these communities.

South Plains Public Health District Director Zach Holbrooks said earlier this week that some of the cases appear to be connected to private religious schools

 

up to over a hundred now, according to NPR this am.

He's going all in on a Supreme Court nomination.

With him being the ultimate jinx, he’ll be nominated the day after the Dems regain control of the Senate and sit in nomination purgatory for two years.

Two states where the best football teams in the state are overrun with “college prep” private schools over public schools, i.e. the exact thing everyone is saying will happen here.

I know we are now in the SEC and all because of super conf. + $, etc.

But we did not join for the academics.

So the idea the state of Texas is going to follow the examples of states within the SEC footprint is… well…. fucking stupid.

1.) This is real life and not a sports conference. I mean WTF? What does that have to do with K-12?

2.) The last time we followed that band of jack offs we ended up losing. Hard. As in the complete economic destabilization. And without oil, we’d still be just as backwards economically as those ‘SEC states’.

So Govy Greg. Kindly go fuck yourself in your atrophied orifice. You literal and figurative spineless fuck.

Say what you will, but his portrayal of a crooked cop in 1989’s Batman was pretty spot on.

I will maintain until the end of time that we should have joined the B1G. Cow colleges in suicide hotspots are not our peers.

Hot wheels has sent an order demanding all state workers are to RTO five days a week effective (?)

Should be a blast since many state agencies have downsized to the point that there aren't enough desks for everyone.

Didn’t the state completely shutter the Hobby Building? Or am I misremembering that?

The Hobby Bldg has been demo'd and redeveloped (something about an "infestation" issue). 

Mrs GOTJ works out of a leased facility in N Austin that has been shrunk down to a third of its size pre-Covid. She currently goes in one day a week because that's all the space they have to accommodate the mgmt team.

Just like at UT. Everyone was to return in August full time. There aren’t enough spaces for everyone, so most administrative people are still only going in 2 or 3 days a week.

The Hobby Building had a major rat infestation.  It was so bad you couldn't leave food on your desk because rats would come out during the workday for a snack.

When my wife quit working in that building, she brought home her little dorm fridge she kept in her office and there were two dead rats under it.

Nowadays, we keep all of our rats in the Capitol and the Governor's mansion.

We don't even have half the space required to accommodate our department. And, TFC knows damn well the situation across the State. They constantly have minions walking the buildings counting people. Performative bullshit.

It's going to be a total shitshow. Fiscally, logistically, and in terms of actual productivity and quality of work. But that's what they want, so, mission accomplished I guess.

How much you want to bet some "teacher's pet" agencies like the AG's office will get an exemption from this mandate?

Yes, that headline is real...we are in total control. We will look for fraud, waste and abuse. But, it will not be our fault. Ignore Operation Lone Star. That is exempt. Ignore the busing migrants program. Ignore trips to South Korea. Ignore the $350k+ State agency salaries of Abbott's former office buddies.

I manage abiut 15 people. I bet we end up having 50% turnover from this one RTO decision. Nobody (on a state salary) under 35 lives closer than an hour to HQ. And the eligible and rehired retirees are gone. And the folks with small children. So really it will just be golden handcuff people like me (pension seekers), and the childless folk who are able to live in old Austin who stay.

The irony is this is the most pointless and wastefully redundant office in the state bureaucracy. We already have tons of agencies and procedures for just this very thing.

And yes, if they do find fraud, waste, and abuse it is almost certainly being done by the politicians who are untouchable.
