I live in Texas and am surprised by the people upset about this. A lot of businesses will probably still require masks. Honestly the main problem is that they have scared people for so long with the hysteria that now they think masks save them from everything.
Of course there are people saying “but he isn’t following the science!”
Honestly If you can’t see that the virus will spread regardless of lockdowns or masks. If you are high risk take further precautions
From what I've seen in the city of Austin specifically, the code enforcement people are the living embodiment of the "useless government worker who exists solely to collect a paycheck" stereotype. They only work 9-5 Monday through Friday and will not cite a place even when there are multiple complaints.
For example, there's a notorious bar here that is in a neighborhood and plays really loud music that can be heard from blocks away. The code people will drive by in the middle of the day when the place isn't even open, and declare it in compliance.
