    OK, that one got me. Texas is just such a shit state that I didn’t even question the headline. It wasn’t until I clicked so see what dumbass excuse they used that I realized it was The Onion. 🤣

      Don’t worry, I’m sure the Republicans will step in to make sure that only people, not corporations, can be punished under that law
