Highlights: This is what I got from the interview. He has not released the executive order, but we are getting snippets here and there.
Slow and gradual opening. He discretied business owners and critics by saying they are reckless by opening too quickly with infection rates are going up. In past interviews he has said people can apply for jobs like amazon (like at his testing press conference)... tell that to the people in Midland.
Some counties may not open up as quickly due to infection rates (like Moore, Potter, and Randall County). He did not know what counties in his own state were doing, like Amarillo opening some stores up.
Bottomline, I am very disappointed with the Governor. I think Trump is nailing it with his guidelines and leadership, but Abbott needs to have courage and make the right decision for those hurting during these times. The small mom and pop shops wont last long in Midland if the energy sector is still decimated.
Note: No, I'm not a liberal troll trying to stew dissent. How is it that Trump has been more conservative and better than any republican since Reagain (or even better in some ways)?
Social distance reee!!!!!!!!
For me, I was very disappointed in Abbott’s response. Trump gave him the keys, and Abbott threw them in the dumpster. He said we’re going to have another committee, more guidelines released soon.
Trump would have opened the state if he was governor. What do you guys think?
I’m ok if he disagrees with the president. But he went bat shit crazy today! Is he ok?
