Good job, Austin!

You can't spell democrat without the letters hypocrisy.

It is amazing how stupid he was to think no one would find out where he was.

Remove your mask so you can smell the BS!

The Austin Mayor flew in a private plane to Cabo San Lucas where he then filmed himself telling citizens to ‘Stay Home’

Commandant Adler thinks only he and the liberal elitist city council are smart enough to dodge covid. The rest of us are too stupid and need to be ruled accordingly.

I'm tired of the over reaction to this ****. OMG...So and So got it.....so what!!! I have a huge % of my employees getting tested now just to see if they have it even though they have no symptoms. The "Thanksgiving spike" media blitz has them scared out of their minds. It's so pathetic. It's a virus and has a minimal death rate just like every other virus and it's going to run it's course.

 

[nashhorn]

And the course it runs will be prolonged by all these lockdowns.

 

[Joe Fan]

I would have styled it "Dem politicians ...."
But I guess they wont (t)roll that way

Yep, but when a thread about a Bowl game being cancelled has my comment about the absurdity of that and the fear mongering having several "Dislike" and "Disagree" reactions from posters. It is absurd, and you are correct.

Maybe I shouldn’t admit this but I think Adler was at my Uncles time share in Cabo. He and my Mom go back decades with Steve Adler. He’s a good guy, I’m a conservative, but I can be friend's with liberals. I’ve been around Mr Adler every once in a while since I was in HS. I just knew him as a Golfer and a fun guy. Anyway he is well liked and respected, but yes he’s pretty liberal. Too bad it went down like that.

 

[Monahorns]

AC. Next time you see him, kick him in the nuts. He turned into a dictator.

 

[Mr. Deez]

If he doesn't want to get charged with assault, at least go with a stink palm.

 

[AC]

Very funny guys. That’s why I could never be a politician. I’ll just bro talk him and get on his good side whenever I see him again.

 

[Monahorns]

The Austin City Council passed Billions of $s, without putting it up to citizens, to build housing for the homeless. The quote I read says they are trying to undo the effects of Reagan's politics.

 

[Joe Fan]

Why would crime be rising in Austin?

 

[Joe Fan]

The end is nigh

"The biggest impact of the pandemic will likely be the mass migration of young professionals. Companies and workers realized in 2020 they didn't need to be in NYC, LA, or SF to be successful. As a result, low tax and high freedom states like TX, TN and FL are booming."​

 

[Phil Elliott]

Air Conditioning ruined this state.

Austin Didn’t Use Its $1B Biomass Power Plant During Winter Crisis

“Maybe it was not possible given the short emergency time, but it would seem to me that this (power plant) should be on call in emergencies like this.”​

They could have charged enough $/kWh to pay off the plant. Lost opportunity.

???? DOD why did they not turn it on? Frozen up?

The Austin City Council unanimously voted to cut its police department budget by $150 million on Thursday

Austin City Council votes to cut police department budget by one-third, reinvest money in social services

Well, that didn't last long.

Austin, Texas proposes largest police budget yet

Not sure this helps Austin. There are two new cadet classes, but most money goes to raising salaries and pensions. Good for the existing guys in the department, but not effective for more policing.

Austin is 100% virtue signaling government. No thought at all; only what extremists propose.

Perhaps, but quite a swing from 'defund the police.' And not just a large police budget but the largest ever. Not even a year later!

Gotta buy the Union vote off somehow.
