Elect clowns ~ get a circus. So sad for those who are doing all the right things.

Too soon? It’s been a fu€king year, and mask still don’t work.

Biden should make state mask mandates a condition of participation in the US vaccination program. mask mandate COVID StopTheSpread

Risk the ire of idiots? Ya, that would be MY first concern...what is wrong with you? You have an obligation to provide a safe work environment for your employees and if those dumb-butts don’t comply, bye, bye, bye

Well owners need to make smart business decisions. You should want to protect yourself along with employees first. Whoever doesn’t want to wear a mask they can’t come in. This pandemic is very real still. Human beings are selfish and it’s disgusting.

Private businesses can make their own rules...or you can go somewhere else...just have amazon deliver to your door...no mask needed...

It’s a free country, they are allowed to continue wearing a muzzle if they choose to do so

Only puny, pathetic weaklings can’t handle wearing a mask.

He is doing a great job for people’s liberty he didn’t say not to wear a mask he is just not mandating masks and leaving it upto people to make their own choice same with shops they can and have the right to refuse you entry without one if they please

I would still wear a mask there is no cure any many have not got vaccinated this is so bad many can pay for this not just in Texas .

Capitalism baby!!! The will of the people is back in their own hands. Businesses will follow suit if customers start boycotting them. Only businesses who will require masks will be Target and Walmart who can afford the loss of sales just watch

I feel really bad for Texas

Please ppl keep mask on,use common sense

Yeah it's called risk assessment, which should've been part of the business leading up to this mess anyway. They'll be fine, or they won't.

Do what you want US citizens. You’re as free as us squirrels!

When you don't care about human life just elect a republican.

And some of the same non masks wearers will be some of the first in line to get a vaccine too. It's ludacris! Just look around the world if you think the pandemic isn't real.

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

This is one of the craziest political moves that Trumpism has created. The CDC still says to wear a mask. We’d better keep wearing them till the CDC says it’s OK to stop!!! America needs to listen to the CDC, scientist & doctors that know what the true facts are!

If everyone wears a mask, then everyone is protected, common sense.

Risking the ire? They don't like it, don't go to the store. Freedom is a wonderful thing.

ClassicMP It's better than killing their staff.

Arrest these uneducated and irresponsibly criminal anti-vax fools - for Endangerment! for incitement to Culpable Homicide! Conspiracy to commit a crime!! Accessory to Mass Murder!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Let's wear a mask that has a weave 1300 times larger than the germ it is going to trap. That's as stupid as thinking CNN is a News Agency. Come on FREDO

dangerous especially a gun friendly state things can go out of hand

Abbot has set up a situation in which business owners wanting to stay with masks in their stores are going to be confronted by irate, potententially violent maskless customers.

So glad I’m not in Texas

💖 PLEASE READ💖👀 WE'RE OUT OF TIME to secure His 'Aftercare fund' for years of proper follow up & meds, a new 💙 w/out it means He'll reject it & die. PLEASE, if U can't donate, just retweet so others can see, for a Child, Thank You!! AboysHeart

What is the big deal? Wearing a mask is a trivial inconvenience, and if requiring them increases the chance of saving some lives, isn't the clear choice to require their use?

Don’t listen Abbott he’s a cartoon and a. Moran stay. Safe love u all N. Y.

Masks are for idiots

Please remove the mandatory mask policies as Gov. Abbott appropriately determined as a reasonable next step in Our “list of things to do” in order to recover this Nation’s residents from their current dispositions which are globally damaging in every facet of Society.

Abbott is a Texan clone of trump turning constituents against each other.

Post signs for Resignation

My lease, my rules. Wear a mask or go somewhere else.

If you wear a mask to protect yourself,why does everyone else have to wear one?

He has proven that he's genuine, and i can trust him with my last dime that's what i want for you all as well invest with kellybrian_ 🙏🏻🙏🏻,

Its one thing to loosen restrictions, its another to basically say this pandemic is over. Good luck Texas.

Let me help...it means as adults, you are free to take the necessary precautions as you see fit.
