Reopening the businesses of Texas. It begins this week; 25% occupancy on many retail venues, including restaurants. We can call it 2-bit; as a sly joke only, but it reminds of that old cheerleaders’ yell,“2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits a dollar, all for the (reopening) stand up and holler!”
Yeah, it always was a lame kind of yell, but a reminder that 2 bits does add up. Come mid-May the Governor offers a doubling to 50% occupancy and the possibility of wide open shortly after that. So the Presidential aspiration of Easter rebirth might come for Texas, and several other states by Memorial Day.How will we lead in this? I hope as Texans usually aspire to, per the Sam Houston motto, "Do right and risk the consequences.”
