Government rules and regulations never make things any easier for Americans. When we need quick action, we have to start cutting them.
That is precisely what Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was doing on Sunday in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
To get more supplies in our grocery stores more quickly I will remove any regulatory barrier that stands in the way.
Texas is now allowing trucks that deliver alcohol to also deliver grocery supplies. #COVID19 #coronavirus #txlege https://t.co/rO7DA273iB

“To get more supplies in our grocery stores more quickly I will remove any regulatory barrier that stands in the way,” the GOP governor tweeted.
“Texas is now allowing trucks that deliver alcohol to also deliver grocery supplies.”
Why this regulation exists to begin with is anyone’s guess but cutting it in a time of crisis is a wise idea.
The governor believes this deregulation is going to help grocery stores keep their shelves stocked for their customers.
“This is yet another example of the private sector stepping up and Texans helping Texans as we all work to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in our state,” he said, KXXV reported.
