No more laws in Mississippi!

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced this week he would lift all restrictions and mask mandates in the state, while Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) said the state was "getting out of the business of telling people what they can and can't do."

That'll be a nice surprise for many Mississippians. Pro-choice proponents for one.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement [...] "We are ensuring that all businesses and families in Texas have the freedom to determine their own destiny."

Again...fat chance! Only if what they determine matches the rabid religious right's dictates.

As Texas and Mississippi move to join a dozen other U.S. states without statewide mask requirements, many major retailers and employers aren't ready to nix face covering requirements amid a pandemic that killed more than 1,800 Americans on Tuesday alone.

The governors of both states said they are dispensing with mask mandates and allowing businesses to operate at full capacity.

They're about two weeks from a spike in covid cases.

Despite the push to reopen, Texas and Mississippi residents will still need to wear face masks if they want to step inside many supermarkets and other large retail chains. The retailers, which include Kroger, Target and Walgreens, cited guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in continuing to require masks and take other measures to protect workers and consumers from the virus.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Line 'em up.  They're goin' down.

UPDATE:

Ohio.  Where's Ohio?
