Apparently the dipshit TX governor, in protest of Biden admin letting the racist title 42 policy lapse, has ordered his troupe of thumbs to inspect all trucks entering TX even though the feds are doing this already. This is causing trucks to be delayed another 45min-1hr just for the inspections themselves, and also leading to longer wait times at the border.
Diesel ain’t free these days so the Mexican truckers, understandably pissed, are blockading the border crossings. Of course, this will lead to… you guessed it… higher prices!
What will our sleepy protagonist do?

Abbott has also been talking about sending chartered buses of undocumented detainees (not sure how they are in Texas custody or what) to the Capitol Steps in DC.
Is Abbott doing some accelerationism? I know Elon has been getting cozy with Texas authorities, maybe his 'we'll coup who we want' is brushing off on the Texas GOP leadership.
