Also keep in mind, that regardless of what Greggo, Lina, or Sly say, private business can do what they want. If HEB still requires it, that's their choice.

I wouldn't be so sure. Recall that the state of affairs for a couple weeks before he issued his statewide mandate was that cities/counties couldn't mandate that people wear masks, but they could fine businesses who didn't force their customers to wear masks. Hopefully his new orders would eliminate that garbage, but I don't really trust him.Irish 2.0 said:Abbott's orders Trump Lina and Sly. Only work around I can think of is if the cities try to make it part of health code which I'm sure Abbott would probably nix tooAlaskanAg99 said:
Question, if Abbott says "Take 'em off" and releases the mandated mask order. Can Sly and city council write their own ordinance and implement their own?
I remember early on Lina and Sly attempted to implement lockdown orders above and beyond what the state had ordered and they were denied. Counties fall under state jurisdiction and unlike incorporated cities, they cannot order their own ordinances.
This would all fall under emergency powers after a declaration, but I'm unclear what cities and counties could possibly do.
Which I 100% support a business' right to choose which policies they put in place. It's the mandating from the government that I want goneCowtownAg06 said:

Yep, and this is the way it should have been from the start. Let the private business choose what kind of policy they want to implement and keep government out of it. If Abbott lifts the mask orders and HEB keeps the policy while Kroger drops it, I'll shop at Kroger until HEB drops it. There's a Kroger about 1.5 miles past HEB that I have no problem going to.CowtownAg06 said:

True but most of them won't make a big deal if they want to keep making money. Technically HEB, Kroger, Buccees, etc... all require masks now yet I see people in all of them every day with no mask and no one says anything.CowtownAg06 said:

I've noticed many of the signs on the front doors of business indicate something along the lines of "Due to a county requirement" or some variant of that. It tells me they only have one because they're being forced.
Kroger near my house is a stickler about it. I've had two neighbors now issued trespass warnings for not wearing masks.

Kroger employees at Shepherd and 11th give me a stare, but no one has said anything. I honestly think they're told not to say anything because corporate is afraid of creating any type of conflict that could create an incidentDucks4brkfast said:

I guess my Kroger didn't get the memo. Cashier won't check you out without a mask.
The signs I've seen are either a simple "don't come in unless your wearing a mask" (typically small businesses) or says something about Governor mandate. Agreed, the ones that blame the government seem to care the least.aTm2004 said:

I don't go to Kroger often and I see far fewer "offenders" there but I have seen a few unmasked.Ducks4brkfast said:

Technicality here... Abbott's executive order gave municipalities the ability to amend their dress code requirements for commercial businesses to include masks as part of the long standing no shirt / no shoes / no service policies. It's the business that gets in trouble if someone is in their place of business with no mask, not the individual.

TomaAto tomato. His mandate allowed it and he needs to remove it.

god bless living in the country and not ever wearing a mask in any business since this **** started. The few times I've been out to Katy in Bucceess and Academy etc numerous times as well never wearing a mask. It helps walking around with a resting ***** face like I do. Nobody has yet to ever say a word to me.

This is why my prediction is that he goes 100% open on restaurants, bars, gyms, etc. At this point it really is not giving up much of anything. Then he gives some PC answer on masks, but they don't go away yet.Fitch said:
More likely he says bars and restaurants can start phasing back to 50% / 75% open, not that that makes a difference because we're basically there anyway, and that restrictions on senior facilities, etc are off given most of that population has been vaccinated.
Likely to hear vaccination opening up for Phase 1C and beyond this month and in April with a surge in new supply availability.
Mask off in May / June but that's just my wildcard guess. It's the lease politically fraught thing to keep in place and doesn't affect businesses.
I think it's easier to blame the country mandate so they proprietor doesn't have to be the "bad guy" if/when people complain.

skimming that article, it really is amusing that every damn journalist uses the phrase "grim...." when describing covid trends. These folks truly are about a year or two from being totally replaced by AI.

HEB doesn't enforce the mask policy. I go about twice a week to the one at Rayford/99 and haven't worn a mask in months. Not a word from employees or customers the entire time.

How in the hell is this legal?
" Gatherings at private homes and backyards remain limited to 10 people inside and 25 outdoors."
Better yet, how will they enforce it.LostInLA07 said:BohunkAg said:
