Yup. Same with removing the mask mandate. The legislators were about to remove it for him. He knew that was going to look bad, so he beat them to it.
Of course removing that unconstitutional garbage isn't really doing anything because individual stores/businesses and school districts are still requiring them. So basically nothing has changed. I only hope more Texans start standing up to the individual stores. If enough people ignore it and make it a giant headache for them to enforce, I truly believe they will just stop trying.
The problem is, people don't like confrontation and they don't want to be hassled, so they just go along with it. Grrrrr
Trying to be optimistic, but after my venture to Walmart yesterday, people are already removing their masks and the mandate isn’t even rescinded yet. It just takes a few to make it catch on. ??
I hope that sort of thing starts here.... so far it seems very business as usual. I'm in a suburb/rural mixed area. I know there are a lot of people here that hate the masks, but people seem to be doing whatever the individual businesses want.
I was literally thrilled to see at least 5 people sans masks yesterday at Walmart. Usually, I’m the only one without a mask. At times, there might have been one other. I think this week there will still be quite a few people wearing them, but I think you’ll be surprised that there will also be those who’ve had enough. And once others spot the one’s who’ve had enough, the masks will start to come off.?
I hope so! I've just lost so much faith in humanity as a whole. I can count on one hand the # of times I have worn a mask.... and even then most of those times it was a mask made of lace lol
I honestly avoid being around masked ppl as much as possible, so when I am out and about and see ppl in masks, it still feels odd and foreign to me which is good. Psychologically, I never wanted to get to the point where masks seem normal.
The conundrum is that private businesses could require you to dress as Darth Vader if they wanted to. If they really want customers to wear masks in their businesses, they have that right, and most will respect it. However, without a mandate, many should cease requiring masks, and people will choose to patronize those.
I think the issue comes down to where you live. We mostly have big box stores and chains. There are very few small businesses in my area. These places are following whatever their overlords say.
It's frustrating because outside of a few restaurants, it seems like everywhere around me will continue requiring masks. That's the downside of living more rurally, we have a lot less businesses to choose from. There are only 2 grocery stores near me. Aldi and Walmart. There is a Kroger that is drivable, but it's still pretty far from me. It's just frustrating.
I'm hoping people just start ignoring it. If half of their customers refuse to wear masks, I'm pretty sure businesses will just give up. How can they enforce it if 50 people aren't complying?
He f'd up so badly with the "Snowvid" that he's doing everything to try and save face. And I agree. I wish people would ignore mask rules like I did. It's so sad to see so many people blindly following it. I'll be going to the store here in a bit, again with no mask, and I always hope to see more people like me

Same here in DFW. I’m on the outskirts though, so we have a good mix of the mask lovers and haters. I would say more mask haters though.?

Nah, I’m in pa and our commie Gov and the sheeple here are just pathetic—cane back from wv and tn and nobody cares. Freedom lives there
