Brickbat: I Guess You Can Mess with Texas

Texas A&M University Chancellor John Sharp says vaping must be banned across the university system. He has ordered the presidents of each of the school's 11 campuses as well as the heads of the eight state agencies under the university's aegis to implement the ban as quickly as possible, citing recent reports of lung injuries from vaping. "This health threat is serious enough that I want to see the ban include every building, outside space, parking lot, garage and laboratory within the Texas A&M System," Sharp said in a memo. "The ban also should extend to every facility of our $950 million research enterprise and all System properties in the 250 Texas counties in which the Texas A&M System has a presence."

An Aggie joke in Reason! Ha, ha, good one!

[Jerryskids]

He'd do better to close down all the parking lots and ban vehicular traffic. Right?

[Leo Kovalensky II]

Fill in the swimming pool with cement. For the children.

Learned scholars.

From the linked article: "Thank you to President Michael K. Young at the flagship campus for the inspiration for this important ban, and please know that your actions could be saving the lives of those within The Texas A&M System family."

Such fawning over something that could not will save lives.

“I want to see the ban include every building, outside space, parking lot, garage and laboratory within the Texas A&M System,"

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills.

Is he banning the fake Chinese made weed vape cartridges that have pesticides and vitamin E in them that are causing people’s lungs to collapse, or is he banning the water vapor nicotine ones that help people stop smoking?

[Longtobefree]

The latter, of course.
Nothing bad comes out of China if you are a socialist.

[Zeb]

You must talk to different socialists than I do.

[IceTrey]

There's no water in vapes it's vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol.

[Conchfritters]

My bad, you are correct, but is it those vapes that are sending people to the hospital, or the fake weed vapes?

[Jerry B.]

The Chancellor Sharp called his broker and bought as much Philip Morris International Inc as he could afford.

[Jerry B.]

"Then"

[icannotread]

I thought Title IX already covers campus vape.

[Longtobefree]

It probably does - - - - - - -

[Earth Skeptic]

OK, Mr. Sharp, now do beer.

[Ve-Ra]

Ironically they just reversed the beer policy to allow beer in Kyle Field.

[Brandybuck]

But a fat stogie on campus is still legal. Go figure.

[Dillinger]

>>>The ban also should extend to

the full extent of my god-given executive power. gig 'em.

[Joe Clave]

I am moving to TX from WA within the next year, and I am finding that it is not as great as I thought.
(More difficult to obtain a gun permit, high property taxes)

[Ve-Ra]

But no income tax. If you are in the Houston area, property tax might be high, but the cost of the property itself isn't.

[Dillinger]

the air smells more free down here.

[DC_36]

Well might be that's because there is no such thing as a gun permit in Texas. If you mean a concealed carry its not hard at all.
