    There is some naivety regarding how much of these other mandates were done for the "greater good" Many of these are money driven, seatbelts and liability requirements were lobbied for by insurance companies to help reduce large claim payouts. Permitting brings local govt income.

    So says the guy that causally dismisses the death of half a million Americans and celebrates his liberty to not have to wear a mask. But wait, didn't you say you were leaving? I am sure there is some mass gathering hotspot you can celebrate your freedum.

    Beto is a goof, you'll never gain any convincing points by posting his stuff.

    Big difference between 50% to 100%. If the surge goes up, all this sacrifice we have made will have been wasted in getting this pandemic under control until we all get vaccinated.

    It's misguided to think we need to reach 100% vaccine for this to get under control. High risk folks are getting vaccinated at a high clip. The severity and dangerousness continues to decline.

    275 deaths yesterday. We will never get 100% vaccinated because many either believe Covid is a flu or simply oppose vaccinations. But, less than 8% is not the time to open to 100%.

    So let me get this straight, if large corporations are lobbying to put rules in place to benefit them, you are okay with it, or if it's done by local government for revenue reasons, it's okay as well, but if it's done for health reason, that's where you draw the line?

    What sort of issue is the mask creating for you? Are you concerned that the government is trying to dictate how you look? Or do you see this as some sort of government control overreach that you finally drew the line?

    Care to share where I showed any sign of offense for or against Mr. Potato head? Maybe in the same scientific data showing masks don't work?

    Care to share your stats showing high risk people are getting vaccine at a high clip... when to date less than 14% of all Texans have gotten one shot, and less than 7% have gotten two.

    Never said whether I was ok or not ok with any of the other mandates you brought up.

    My issue with the mask mandate has been explained already. I feel at this point businesses and people can choose how they want to handle mask wearing. Simple as that.
