You sure are leaving out a lot of details, it's not just an open spigot but a detailed, coordinated task force driven plan to open things in phases. Overall, Abbott has done a good job IMO in this crisis. I haven't seen much antagonism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not talking about in the place of public opinion, I said in reality it is the county judges and mayors that sheltered their cities and counties in place and shut down businesses. this is unlike many other states where the governor made those decisions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Troubador Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just read a few articles about this. I found it fascinating how much power the elected county judges have in TX. Nothing like this in NJ. The re-opening seems like a bit of a misnomer - seems more like really getting back to something that should have been part of the “lockdown” to begin with - state parks remain open but practice distancing and wearing masks; and all businesses that can do deliveries or curbside pickup, and practice capacity limits and distancing, should have been allowed to remain open this time. I don’t think Texas is gonna be truly “open” for a while yet... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In response, I can only post what it looks like, here on the ground, in Jersey ..... The latest from our Gubna...

Would you want him being in control of your state ??? Murphy is an interesting case for me. I disdain Murphy for his total lack of intellectual honesty, esp. when he was running for Governor and won’t be voting for him when he runs for re-election. But I don’t envy him here; he’s in a real pickle. The tax revenues he needs to fund his pie-in-the-sky programs are collapsing at an astonishing rate. If the shore isn’t fully open for business this summer then 2020 is going to be catastrophic for state coffers. He’s going to have to make massive cuts and borrow/raise taxes on a lot of people in a lot of different ways. The former he is loathe to do due to his political philosophy and allegiances, and the latter is electorally bad for him (not to mention how much more in taxes does he expect us to pay...enough already!!!!). I think he probably wants to get it open ASAP but is trying to navigate this thing as best he can. But we are from NJ...people are gonna be pissed off the longer this goes on. And if he thinks the GSP southbound isn’t going to be full of cars come Memorial Day weekend he’s out of his mind. What’s he gonna do, put up roadblocks at the Driscoll Bridge? That’s the end of our “Smiling Phil Murphy”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of 10:02 a.m. on April 18, 2020 in NJ the pendulum has swung far towards the “public safety” side of things. Maybe I don’t understand what you’re ultimately trying to get at, but as I see it the only way to “forcibly” challenge this if you disagree with it is the courts. Sure, you can protest and try to start a movement to persuade the Governor to change his mind, but that ends one of two ways: 1. You succeed (our Nero on the Delaware will just call you a “knucklehead” and move on) or 2. You get arrested for some reason and again end up challenging it in court. We don’t live in anything remotely approaching Nazi Germany or the USSR (despite what many on both sides would have you believe depending on who is in office). If government oversteps there are established mechanisms for challenging that (including the ballot - I suppose some would say the Second Amendment - if all else fails). Maybe I’m being sanguine but at the end of the day this going to end (sooner rather than later) and those in charge will be held to account one way or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last post before I go (try to LOL) finish the Taj Mahal 🤣 Something to chew on.... We may be in a 'better position' than many 'countries' to survive, as our 'many' forms of state govs, all having slightly dif approaches, increases 'chances of success'... Falls in line with the AGE OLD cycle of centralization/de-centralization...and which is best, and at what time... Hows that tie in here ? Well my 'freedom' (solely held by my ability to choose 'which subset of government' I agree to be a citizen of) would entirely be stripped away without 'freedom of movement' and such..... Not something most would be willing to just 'give away' or 'let some court decide later'....especially when there is an current and immediate biological threat (amazingly by geography) to you and your family.... There are arguments to be made 'for and against' govs are drawing the 'line' geographically (or otherwise) as to 'how many would be saved' by what actions.... BTW: It is only by the citizens questioning the decisions and directions of their own government, that keeps them on the 'best' path... Food for thought... Be back later. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
