How Much are Texan's Lives Worth to Greg Abbott? Apparently, $5.8 million.

Greg Abbott doesn’t only bathe in blood, he also washes in money. This group of billionaires and corrupt Texas Republicans have been tasked to decide which will come first the livelihood of Texas businesses or Texas lives.

What do you think they’ll decide?

I don't see the calculation at link. I suspect real value much lower. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #4
You mean higher? Shell_Seas Apr 2020 #5
No, lower. Lives not worth much to corporatist-tRump-Republicons. They only value the 1% highly Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #7

They're all there.

SURELY, THERE IS SOMEONE THAT REPRESENTS ACTUAL SMALL BUSINESSES OR THE EVERY DAY TEXAN?

Nope.


CHIEF MEDICAL ADVISERS

John Hellerstedt, M.D., was the quack who came up with demanding doctors to have hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles from an abortion clinic. It closed most clinics in Texas and lost in the Supreme Court.

I'm not taking any chances with my asthma.

Working from home nearly every day.

I expect everything outside of my home is a virus' dream environment.

The lack of empathy ensures pre-mature opening, consequences be damned...

All that matters is how we are going to live with it.

I will not risk my life for money...

It's easier to "write off" the lives of others if they are valued cheaply.

I see how I confused you. I wrote "real" when I should have written something like "their corporatist valuation of lives".

Yes, REAL lives have higher value, in my book; incalculable actually.

Made millions suing when a tree fell on him, and closed the courts to plaintiffs under pseudo Tort reform. Fuck him.
