400 million? Is this like the 150 million that die from gun violence per Biden?

How does someone like Adler even get elected in Texas? Are kids at the University of Texas campus voting idiots like this into office?

What large city anywhere in the US has a Republican mayor?
Most are run by loony liberal lefties.

Austin has three major “industries”: politics, academics, and high tech. All three tend to run with “progressive” Democrats.

The tech sector is the worst because it has attracted immigrants from the Left Coast.

In order to teach President Trump a lesson, the mayor yelled “shark” instead of yelling “barracuda”. Now he has a panic on the fourth of July.

Wonder if he’s related to Jim Adler, “The Texas Hammer!”

The Coachella Festival is on the verge of cancellation, I am thinking.

Will Japan still hold the Olympics?

Will the Kentucky Derby be run without a crowd?

Will the Indianapolis 500 be run without a crowd??

I don’t even wish to go to my local RURAL post office for stamps!!!

Last year, that festival brought in over 400,000 persons, over many days.

Last year’s gross was listed at $388 million.

Large multiday music/film festivals bring LOTS of $$$ to any area.

The mayor’s moronic policies have led to an explosion of homeless camps. Horribly dangerous situation in Austin.

Is this a GoFundMe deal to take up the slack on canceling the SXSW?
