It’s just the flu, bro.

So governments are eliminating many of their restrictions. Good for them...although they never should have been imposed in the first place.

Every business and organization has the right to continue these Coronavirus rules and restrictions, even though the government does not mandate them. And that is where we are at in Texas. Although some entities have eliminated the rules, most have retained them. I have hopeful that these rules will go away quickly but for now it is noteworthy that the organizations who removed the fewest rules are churches and schools.

I have no great answer to this problem of entities retaining these mandates even though they don’t have to. The only things that can be done that I can think of are: 1.switch to a different business 2.ignore the rules and challenge them to charge you with trespassing (they can’t charge us with anything else now) 3.pressure leaders of the business to remove the rules

That’s happened a few times in Florida, I believe. I know my quilting friend’s relative died in an auto accident — mangled beyond belief — in FL, and the death was listed as Covid. The family was livid, fought it, and won — but was not easy!

Hopefully he washes it when he's done:

Probably lets it ripen for a more stimulating odor.

Legal and illegal?
Is one of these a "different kind" of discrimination?
Or, is the government picking winners and losers?

Texas is eliminating the restrictions, which are (according to conservative/constitutional scholars) unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, the Governor here supports HB3 which puts into law all the powers, and more, which the Governor exercised unconstitutionally.

Call it a diversion, a bait and switch, or a Pyrrhic victory, but HB3 is a disaster.

Signs requiring specific attire have always been enforceable under trespass laws. I'm absolutely against mandates from governments, but private property owners have the right to require any attire they like. That includes fancy restaurants that don't allow you to come in wearing jeans and a teeshirt. Some require a full suit and tie for the guys. Don't like it? Take your business elsewhere.

Signs that discriminate based on criteria in Federal civil rights law are not enforceable.

:: Don’t like it? Take your business elsewhere. ::

You make my point.

If you have no “masks mandates” in your locale, why do you continue to shop stores that require you wear them for service?

You see, once there is no longer a health department requirement (like shoes and shirts), denying service becomes a policy of discrimination.

Because you prefer to be discriminated against as a trade-off for their wares?
Heil Wal-Mart, then.

"You see, once there is no longer a health department requirement (like shoes and shirts), denying service becomes a policy of discrimination."

I don't often eat at places that require me to wear a suit and tie, but everyone once in a while, the wife really wants a night of fancy treatment. I don't protest outside the fancy restaurant demanding entry in jeans and a t-shirt and I don't lobby Congress or my state legislature to force them to let me in with jeans and a t-shirt. I put on my suit and tie and we have a lovely evening.

We all make our own decisions about whether we want to interact with certain businesses. I think Facebook is a terrible company that invades privacy, sell users' data, lobbies for things I find abhorrent, and is run by liberal lunatics. So I don't have a Facebook account. There are things I don't like about Walmart, but sometimes my need for a specific item outweighs my dislike for the store. As a free American adult, I can make those choices for myself. I think that's a positive thing.

I think we should all make the choice to buy American. I think that would help improve our country. But I don't want to see government stepping in forcing you or me or anyone else to buy American. I always favor choice, even when people or businesses use that freedom to make choices I dislike.
