This is literally what don huffines ran on and I think they're gonna find out that sales tax hikes aren't any more popular than property tax hikes (mostly he's lying of course)

I guess if they convince enough people that the dems are the ones raising taxes, and at least half the country believes this no matter what happens, then it could work.

Yeah this issue is going to be resolved by SCOTUS

surely our honorable federal judges will approach this with a reasonable mind!

If I'm reading this correctly:

- safety inspections going away
- emissions inspections still required in the 15 most populous counties
- exempt drivers still need to pay a reduced annual registration fee for which they receive nothing

worst of both worlds, we did it everyone

its so insane that the US barely does any safety inspections of cars, yet also oversees a society where most people dont make enough money to maintain their cars.

youd think the insurance companies would be mad about this and raise rates to compensate for the increased danger or cars around you not having brakes that work or whatever.

Turns out safety inspections don't make much of a difference in accident rates.

then we should consider eliminating the drivers

Unusual, instead of promising to prove innocence, the Paxton legal strategy seems to be to leverage the discovery process to delay trial as much as possible

Well it worked for Alex jones.

It was pretty bad. They hired a black woman to overhaul the journalism department, then right-wingers threw a shitfit about DEI or whatever, so A&M reneged on her offer and told her she could be at-will probationary head of the department for one year. The prospect turned them down and took it to the media.
