So, wait. He wants to secede, but also supports the US military spending money to sponsor an event in his state? Do you want help from the federal government or not, Gregg? Or did the tree hit more than your spine when it fell on you? Though I suppose both can be true…
You mean the tree limb that fell on him, sued his neighbor, got a massive payout (millions) and then got elected to higher office only to turn around and pass laws to make sure no one else could get payouts like that? Fuck Greg Abbott. I hope the tree comes back to finish the job.
Recruitment. They were sponsors so that people think it’s cool to be in the army.
Same reason they do flybys and giant flag-things and shit at sporting events.
We have a literal propaganda division that helps with movies like transformers as long as they have a say in how the military is portrayed in them.
And rarely you get to see gems like this from the movie Sgt. Bilko (1996):
The actually cool way of increasing recruitment would be to pay higher salaries and increase the work place safety, with tax money taken from crying billionaires.
This is just one more step towards Texas looking like Russia. I’m sure this will cause a major backlash and have a ton of artists refusing to play Texas regardless of the venue.
Does this idiot not know how much revenue these fests generate for an area?
I know. It is however about money for the businesses that rely on these festivals for a large portion of their income. They are alienating everyone who doesn’t believe the crazy bipolar shit they do.
Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll get someone like Kid Rock to play, which is what those audiences probably want anyway.
They also spent money to develop a game for recruitment purposes.
The game is dead now, but in it’s peak it was good.
Just another lead-addled piece of shit.
Greg “Jade Helm” Abbott? The chucklefuck who said the US army was invading Texas?
“We don’t need your money here. Especially not when we re-legalize slavery.”
