The governor who threatened to secede from the union has now decided he wants the union and the big, bad federal government to come to his rescue.

HARDWARE


It's all fun and games until you have a natural disaster.

In fact, I don't believe that Texas is in a bad way. They are looking for federal dollars to help pay for the firefighters. Is it a real natural disaster? Arguable. Most of what is being burned is grazing land. Expect beef prices to go up based on this, but not significantly. They may actually go down in the short term as ranchers sell off stock instead of buying feed.

The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

Freedom is Important because People are Important


Hello,

I wonder what the plan was to cope with these kinds of issues if they had seceded?
