Tanning Bed

Just a tanning bed.

@AshleyTXBurner Strange how Texas public ed didn't have these issues until Mike Morath. Conspiracy to sabotage public education, anybody?

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@sooner_todd @NashTalksTexas "Moron". No, you're a moron for expecting anyone to know what you reference when you use the same word for both. Y'all follow Texas more closely than Chokelahoma. The reverse is untrue.

@Conrguy @twoslicesobread @natsfert They were the pretext for freezing the funding. You can try to deflect but as the election results handily prove? Majority of Texans no longer buy the BS.

@mortime01701006 @Moviesca3 Over the top send-ups can still be great. Please also see: Kill Bill.

@ainissetai @outofcontext69 @Moviesca3 You must've talked Mclean Stevenson into doing "Hello Larry"....

@wesvirdelltx @TheTXVoice Looks like a Tim Dunn hitpiece to me.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@crandallbox @wesvirdelltx @TheTXVoice That mindset led to the most recent election. Texas legislature has historically always worked across the aisle. The litmus tests, American Phoenix Foundation, and the rest started in 2015. Congrats, you got the GOP party you wanted and lost Texas voters.

@goatofnostreet @jtlynch60 It's designed as an option to flights and would be more attractive vs getting to HOU/IAH, flying to DFW/DAL, and then getting to destinations.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@TGFELTINI @jtlynch60 Zero comparison. BART compares to DART, Houston METRO, and CapMetro. We already know how to run those systems.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@johnkuhntx @TroyMooney Precisely. The reason the GOP flush is immensely positive for Texas is because it ends Dumb-Dunn dominance.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@BethNetherland @lynnsdavenport @TroyMooney Which are accessible to a very small portion of the states population yet drain resources from the whole state to benefit comparatively few children. Gimping public schools statewide for your "godsend" is a sin.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@BethNetherland @TroyMooney It was deeply unpopular because it is an extremely costly and inefficient program that is neither means tested nor based on actual costs of education to the parents. It's a boondoggle and broken.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@GuntherEagleman Have you considered accepting and adopting reality?

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

To preface: IMO It's a dumb idea. Use the money to fund water projects and enhance water security. Education. ANYTHING but direct payments. It's going to vanish like a fart in the wind that way. Purchasing votes as you said.

But no, sweet tits, that's not all they're gonna use. If we get there, $100 says the comptroller will verify legal presence as part of determining household eligibility for payment.

The "representative" may be a workaround in some cases if not all members are legal. But payment isn't by household size. We shall see.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

Nice try, did no one teach you statutory construction? THAT'S obvious. The complete subsection below. WORDS MEAN THINGS, KID! You left out the most important part, broken brainpan:

(3)"Qualified household" means a household with a
usual place of residence in this state on January 1, 2027,
represented by a person who is at least 18 years of age on that date,
or an emancipated minor, and that satisfies the verification
requirements adopted under this chapter.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

"Equality". Except huge swaths of the state, especially out west, do not have any access to a school that accepts vouchers or only provides pre-k and kinder. Online school for pre-k to 2nd grade unsupervised while the parents are working? Don't make me laugh.

Vouchers are not equal. Access to voucher schools is not equal. But the removal of funding is applied equally.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

It'll at least get riders OUT of traffic. A 110mph protected corridor means the time saved is greater than speed would indicate alone. 80 miles at 110mph would be a 45 minute trip and that 45 minutes could be used however. To Dallas would be the greatest time savings. Half the time or better. But 150mph would be preferable.

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

There's nothing in the bill that permits or shields illegals either. The bill stops the comptroller from deciding eligibility based on the list of named conditions. Lawfulness of presence ain't restricted.

If they wanted to pay illegals? The comptroller would be stopped from considering legal status and proof of household would be far more vague.

Texas already has vote by mail and has for decades. No huge changes there. Zero bills on ballot harvesting.

@voboed GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

[Tanning Bed @TanForTexas]

@tx_ex89 The lunacy of preferring 1115 waivers over expansion has cost Texans millions of dollars more for less care. I will avoid further bitching, it's a pet peeve.
