... that the embodiment of pure, malignant evil, also known as Governor Greg Abbott, rescinded laws requiring employers and state agency chiefs to provide water and cooling-off breaks for outdoor workers, especially during periods of extreme heat.

It is possible that the number of Texans who wish that tree had been bigger, is increasing in direct proportion to the number of Texans that died because of Abbott's actions, not to mention gross negligence.

Sooner or later, Texans will have to smarten the fuck up, roll Abbott to the curb, and elect someone as governor who actually put the welfare of Texans ahead of the malign interests of corporatists. That someone would have to be a Democrat, cuz they ain't no Republican that would be caught dead doing good.
