I wrote Abbott today about the mask BS. He didn't actually order masks, but he's endorsing or approving of those cities and counties who are mandating them. Some of these counties like Travis have mandated masks in businesses through August 15th. And the enforcers of those mandates will be the businesses themselves. If they don't comply, they face fines and losing their licenses. That's unacceptable and I read that the Texas R's are pushing Abbott to reconsider his stance. I hope some lawsuits are being filed against these cities and counties.

That's spread to Dallas and Tarrant county too (I think I also heard Bexar, probably others). But you're right, they are essentially strong arming the businesses into enforcing it. On top of myself hating the requirement, that's a really scummy way to force it. I've even seen heavy TDS pro-mask liberals that work places and aren't happy that they are supposed to enforce it.

I hope there are some lawsuits too. We have laws and rights for a reason and it's all just cast aside. If they want masks so bad then follow the proper channels with the legislature. They won't do that because it wouldn't get through the proper channels.
