Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday issued an executive order banning all state entities, including private employers, from enforcing vaccine mandates, the latest escalation in the Republican's resistance to public health measures during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Doesnt that directly violate the rules the feds put out though? Last I checked federal government > state government, no?
Afaik the Federal mandate is for any company with over 100 employees that receives federal funding, with the consequence of non-compliance being that the federal funding would get revoked. So I don't think there's any way the Texas government could stop the feds revoking that funding, which basically makes this law useless.

All of this shit is the nerd version of "fuck around and find out".
I don’t even think the federal funding matters, it’s a department of labor/OSHA rule I think. There’s no getting out of it.
