Hey @HunterBiden your delivery is going to be delayed.
It's funded by oil and gas companies, specifically by the severance taxes levied on extraction and production, so long as it's a boom year where they're turning a profit. They also re-invest chunks of it and put the interest right back into the fund.
You will never find a man with a greater love of his job than this crazy SOB right here.
Absorbing so many shockwaves over the years has molded his particular flavor of autism into a weapon of mass destruction.
If you're not following him yet, fix yourself.
Damn. RIP

How exactly could having FWBs who never caused me any problems, many of whom are still my friends even though we haven't hooked up in years, have any negative impact on my ability to form relationships?
That doesn't make sense. I actually did try dating an FWB from 2017 earlier this year, but he got extremely mad at me because I would not stop talking about my last boyfriend. I just kept saying "Ivan this Ivan that Ivan Ivan Ivan Ivan." He started actually screaming at me for it. π€¦π»ββοΈ
I obviously don't have compromised pair bonding ability if it takes me almost a whole goddamn year to stop cockblocking myself by talking about my ex boyfriend every second. I actually have some kind of inability to move on after I do actually fall in love. I don't know what that is.
My friend I recently gave a chance to was the first guy I really tried being emotionally vulnerable with since my last breakup over a year ago. I didn't have to have sex with him to get attached and heartbroken, which has been a horrible experience I almost always avoided with fwbs.
While sex can heighten attachment. It's not going to create attachment on its own. And I can get attached without sex based on conversations and affection. I can have sex just for fun and not get attached. These are two different things. I don't understand how the sex that says "I cheated but it meant nothing" could possibly not get this. π

It's laughable that you think Dems would go for this.
They don't want amnesty any more than we do. That would be "fixing" the problem, and you don't motivate voters with "fixed" problems.
Much like how they failed for decades to codify abortion. That wasn't accidental.
Spitballing a hypothetical.
Republicans - would you be open to an immigration deal that would legalize Dreamers & give protections to longtime illegal immigrants w/ no criminal record if they came forward & paid a fee/back taxes in exchange national voter ID requirements, a nationwide federal ban on sanctuary cities (ICE detainers must be honored at jails for criminal aliens) and a strict overhaul on the asylum system to prevent fraudulent claims overwhelming the system?
Would Dems have any appetite for such a deal?
Texas already has 1084 bills pre-filed for the next session.
Legalize pot
Redistrict
Red flag laws
Property tax increases
Expand eligibility for Medicaid including low-income individuals
New rules on water rights
New rules on subdivisions
Electric utility "monopolies"
Raise state minimum wage to $15/hr
Prohibition of construction of border security measures on state park lands
A "Texas solution" to reforming and addressing issues related to the Medicaid program, including the creation of an alternative program designed to ensure health benefit plan coverage to certain low-income individuals through the private marketplace; requiring a fee.
Reducing ad valorem tax breaks for farmers
Using public funds for lobbying activities
Designating August "Firearm Safety Awareness Month"
The list is massive. Feel free to look at it yourself here:
