    They already are. Look up Tesla Gigafactory. Every Tesla battery is produced using renewable energy. The Gigafactory here uses solar, wind and geothermal to operate its plant.

    You can stay in denial and be left behind, but the future is here, whether it agrees with your politics or not.

    Don't get excited. Satan's asscrack is full of bloviators and they can screech all they want but they will not stop sooo many of we deplorables that will have 30 over for a Christmas eve dinner and celebration. Our neighbor's driveways were full on Thanksgiving and it will be more so during the Christmas holidays.
    Thank you China for trying and failing to destroy American traditions.

    That's sad, too. Poor Gal. My Christmases have always been great.

    I just find the idea of mixing Christmas with politics to be superficial and dishonest, on both counts. Mixing Christmas with one politician is nauseating. Mixing it with Trump is cringeworthy.

    And a very Merry Christmas--the American Christian celebration of Christ's birth.

    Christians by the millions...and all of the same quality.



    I'm so glad I am a Christian in America!

    Well then...you better hope hospitalizations don't keep going up otherwise "free Texas" are just empty words

    "Per Abbott's executive order, which went into effect Oct. 14, if the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 exceeds 15% of all patients in a designated Trauma Service Area for seven straight days, bars will be forced to close and all other businesses must reduce capacity from 75% to 50%."

    We started giving people antibody treatment before Thanksgiving to shorten severity of symptoms and keep people out of the hospital. Vaccines expected in a few weeks, maybe as early as December 12th.

    Most importantly, we don't have a psychopath for a governor, like many blue states.

    That's appropriate on a county basis, with the county making the decision based on metrics. The feds give advice to state governors who can take the advice, leave it, or modify it. Texas' Gov. Abbott has offered guidance to county health departments, who can exercise their options within that guidance. That's how it should work.

    Right now, hotspots are in El Paso and Lubbock.

    El Paso had 1 "Covid" death today, 4 yesterday, and 1 the day before.

    Things are improving, but thanks for your concern.

    I’m just concerned your bars could be shut down. That seems the opposite of a “free Texas”.

    Most of the bars figured out during the spring shutdown how to legally become restaurants. They reopened about a month before "bars" were able to reopen last time.

    But for those that didn't. Opposite of "free Texas".

    So, you not really concerned about Texas bars being shut down. LOL

    Spring panic shutdowns did cost a lot of small business owners to lose their lifetime business investment and livelihood, plus the job losses were pretty brutal. Free Texas is going to minimize those losses by prioritizing the Original Goal of restrictions, which is and always was to prevent hospitals from running short on capacity.

    Some of the Democrat governors are not even going by science or original objectives today. They are just being authoritarian ogres and are restricting freedoms far more than necessary. Just because they can.

    Everyone knows this is all to hasten the Great Reset anyway.

    So you can figure out the political beliefs of a person based solely on the state their license plate is from now?

    Dude what are you doing here? Don't you have some lotto numbers you could be divining?

    Do you believe ONLY conservatives live in Red states and ONLY Liberals live Blue states? Very odd if you do believe so.

    How is my post a strawman? You were asked by Junkieturtle...
    To which you replied
    So, based on your reply it does appear you think ONLY people from Blue states are liberals. But please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    Now, to answer your absurd question. Of course there will be liberal "yankees" (clearly you're old as dirt using that term) who travel to FL. I never claimed otherwise (hence why your question is absurd). But there will be conservative "yankees" who will also travel to FL.

    Protests are still allowed, so just have a protest with refreshments and gifts!

    Been saying Yankee since I was a boy, it's a common term here, along with snowbird. But remember, it's the Conservatives who dont "care" about the virus. The liberals are the true believers, yet they still gather in the streets to celebrate Biden, riot and travel out of state the time of year it peaks. There is a word for that. BTW, you are likely older than me, so you know.
