Well…as the repubs in red states try to outdo each other in how many rights they can take away from women, women and their allies are fighting back even in Florida where they have just gotten a citizen led constitutional amendment on the ballot to protect reproductive freedom…even as the repub controlled legislature is working feverishly to pass an outright ban on abortion…and the polling on the issue makes it appear like it will pass easily since more than 70% of those polled want it to pass…the repubs were so stupid when they packed the supreme court with lying right wing assholes who overturned Roe when they testified they wouldn’t…and I am still amazed that they got away with the clear lies when it is against the law and all of the right wingers on the court should be charged with perjury…so what is the repubs response? In almost all the red states they are making it harder or impossible to put these initiatives on the ballot so then the people will have no recourse against the unpopular ideas of the repubs…cheating as usual…geez…

I’m tired of bailing out these idiots…
Well…with the explosion of omicron in both Texas and Florida primarily caused by the passing of laws in both states that outlaw vaccine and mask mandates, and the “feedumb” folks that refuse to be vaccinated or take any precautions against spreading the virus who are egged on by the governors in each state, now the tune has changed and Abbott and DeSantis are now begging the feds to come in and help with setting up testing and to supply more monoclonal antibody treatments for people who chose to not get vaccinated…and this just one week after Abbott bitched in public about federal “overreach” in fighting the virus…you know, I’m tired of bailing out these idiots when their actions caused the problems in the first place…if they would have followed the CDC recommendations and if they would have pushed for vaccinations with boosters, they wouldn’t be in the trouble they are in with only 56% of each state fully vaccinated….so basically they are saying stay out of our business until we screw it up with our ideological bullshit, then please, please feds…come in and save us with your science and money….I feel for the dems that live in these states and have their lives ruined by these assholes, but I have not one F to give about the morons who choose to spread the virus and take up all of the hospital beds so there are none for responsible people….geez…
This is what deregulation does…
Well…over the years, repub governors in red states have not seen a regulation they didn’t hate and have spent a lot of time and effort doing industry’s bidding in getting rid of just about any regulation that would protect the people of their states if it would cost business even one thin dime…and we can see the results in Texas where some chemical plant or other explodes almost every week and a cold spell costs consumers there thousands of dollars each with their deregulated electricity market. Just today, we see another effect of that blind allegiance to deregulation with the declaration of a state of emergency in Florida with a retention lake filled with radioactive waste starting to collapse as the owners of the company walked away and left the millions of gallons of waste behind as they filled their pockets with cash. Deregulation is what made it profitable for these thieves to walk away rich while the people who are going to lose their homes are left holding the bag…the company was not required to do any planning or to pay for mitigation of their waste since the repubs think it would be too much of a cost for business and they would leave if they had to do even a little to stop polluting the environment….so now we have a Love Canal sized contamination event going on and no one in Florida is doing a damn thing about it except declaring a state of emergency…no shelters, no nothing for the people who are losing their homes…in Florida’s business utopia, everyone is on their own and that’s just the way the repubs want it….geez….
