Texas Republicans BAN Contracts For Companies Who Boycott Fossil Fuels - Ring of Fire



The Republican-controlled state of Texas is now banning contracts at the state, county, and local level for any company that boycotts (refuses to invest in) fossil fuel companies. This includes state-controlled pension funds and the banks that were running them, as 10 financial institutions are the first to be banned under this new rule. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Monopolistic corps like Big Fossil, Big Ag, Big Pharma don't want free markets and buy up governmental "tools" across continents to keep markets anything but free. They started to unfree markets with Reagan. The carpet bagging Texas Bushes helped all monopolists, of course.
