13 Woke Corporations Fighting Back Against Texas Mask Mandate Repeal
Trending Politics ^ | March 4, 2021 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 03/04/2021 5:13:16 PM PST by CheshireTheCat

Major corporations in Texas and Mississippi are reassuring their customers they will continue to enforce mask mandates and other CDC guidelines in reaction to the state governors’ recent announcements.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott led the way, and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves followed soon after, by repealing state-wide mask mandates and lifting lockdown orders on Tuesday. The new state guideliness give businesses the green light to return to 100% capacity.

The following 13 major corporations have already released statements or responded to inquiries that confirm their mask mandates and other coronavirus guidelines will continue to be in force despite states lifting their lockdown orders....

Fine, exercise their right to set rules for entering their private property and let the governor set the rules for everywhere else.

They’re just lazy - they don’t want the responibility for enforcing their own rules and want the state to do it for them.

They will not get sued for following state law.

Target, Starbucks, Macy’s, Toyota, Hyatt, CVS, Walgreens, AMC, GM, Aldi, HEB, Kroger, and one local chain.

No problem living the rest of our lives without these rectums.

Brands go woke because they’re going broke!

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around. Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.

My bud operates a used-car dealership. Believe it or not since April 2020, he doesnt wear one but there is a glass shield in front when paperwork is being processed. He only wears one when he’s in the car on a test drive but in the office, he doesn’t.

95% dont say a word and 5% storm off with the “ahhh, you’re not wearing a mask!!” Karens and Kevins.

> Can they make you wear a burqa or a Swastika? <

Interesting question! There are, I believe, 11 federally protected classes (example: veteran status). Some states have added to that list.

A store cannot discriminate based on one of those protected classes. For example, a store cannot put up a sign saying “no veterans permitted”.

“Religious belief” is another protected class. So one might argue that forcing a customer to wear a burqa or Swastika runs afoul of that protected class. I dunno. If some store were goofy enough to make that requirement, it would probably go to the Supreme Court.

The second a mask mandate is removed I will take my business to stores that do not require masks. If you want to wear one go for it.

Outside service companies are continuing the requirement of employees to wear mask.

There are too many people who drank the Kool-Aid about the China Virus.

The service companies cannot risk losing customers who would not let them on property without a mask.

Isn’t choice wonderful. Corporations can require you to wear masks on their property and you can chose not to give them your business.

Actually not. Fascism is an economic model involving close cooperation between government and large corporations. It can be voluntary for the government and the crony corporations. It’s not voluntary for the population however. That is the difference. Krupp and IG Farben did just fine under Nazism until they lost.

And that’s their choice. As it is our choice as to whom to patronize.

Without the state mandate, they have no real power over their customers. Their employees are a different matter.
I’d love to see a GM dealership tell a customer in the dealership ready to drop 30 - 90K on a vehicle to leave and not sell them that vehicle unless they put on a mask.

I’ll do my part and say I will consciously try my very best to not do business with any of these woke companies. They obviously don’t want my business so I’ll try and comport with their desires.

“Toyota? What business are they in again?”

Every Toyota Tacoma in the world is built in San Antonio.

Can they make you wear shoes and a shirt? No. But they can deny you service, evidently.

*Define for me again what fascism is.*

Note to sane people. HEB Groceries did not say that they will require customers to wear masks ...therefore ending my relationship with HEB.

Hitler didn’t take control by telling Germans that they were superior. Hitler took control by telling Germans that they were being discriminated against.

Now tell us how society’s rules don’t apply to you because you’re different ...well you believe differently anyway ...and somehow that makes you a conservative.
