What's the point of wearing a mask when you live on a mound of garbage? Go to my channel to see a massive ecological disaster happening right now in Austin. See clandestine e-waste processing sites on creekbanks, see the tunnel people of Austin.
You in Mexico again telling people what to do
It is amazing to me that people have been brainwashed into believing these masks will save us all and that nothing else is helpful or important. The virus has always been and still is over 99% survivable and people are in a panic over someone else not wearing a mask. If you think it will help, wear a mask. If you don't think it will make a difference then don't wear a mask. If Bob doesn't wear a condom, the whole world does not become pregnant unless everyone screws Bob and then not every one of them still won't. Let's be realistic.
Adler has been pretty lousy in many ways, but this is one thing I am thankful for him doing.
Of course you’d pick the Austin mayor which there is nothing but a bunch of fruit cakes over there by the way coming from a Texan that lives in the DFW area
I saw the oddly positioned Mark Twain book and thought it might be a hidden message. Since Texans seem to be so ardently against anything healthy and rules, maybe the solution can be found in one Twain quote: "The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become." Outlaw masks and most of them wear one.
This is not a smart mayor
The US Covid death toll is currently 541,810 with 2000 more each day.
2,000 daily is 80 times New Zealand's 12 month total of 26.
New Zealand is proof that following the WHO simple 3 point plan of social distancing, masks and washing hands works.
Anti-maskers, MAGATs, Anti-vaxers and QANON are killing Americans and is the reason US schools aren't open.
Covid deaths US 541,810 Mexico 191,789 UK 124,987 Canada 22,330 China 4,636 Australia 909 NZ 26 Taiwan 10.
Two thirds of the Covid variants originate from the US making Covid the US virus.
There are 15 Covid variants, 10 from the US, 2 from the UK and 1 each from South Africa, Brazil and China.
Traitor Trump's "Do nothing" pandemic strategy is written into the history books as America's biggest-ever failure.
Why are you a mayor? The virus is done. Over. Enough. If it was going to kill us all, it would have already! Let those who want to hide their identity and wear a mask do so. If you don't, you should NOT be forced to do so! What do you people NOT understand that at this point, its strictly about control. Fear tactics. Because, Im sure that there would be a deadly virus raging around yet there are no mass quarantine areas, and I don't know about you but I see no one walking around in biohazard suits with fresh oxygen supply masks on. Which would be the only thing that could save you from a damn virus/plague! Wake up! Please…….
Wow, the governor is such an idiot, does he even watch or listen to the world health organization? And now businesses have to pick sides and customers which is gonna cause MORE conflict and didnt they just get thru millions of homeless folks from the winter storm??
Not even 10% vaxxed and your gonna fully open with no masks? Texas won't be open for long.
Just to be clear. Now that Texas is 100% open for business, does this mean that TEXAS will stop whining and BEGGING for federal government SOCIALISM AID to secure its southern border?
Why does the news correspondent sound like she doesnt agree with this major? Is she disappointed or what? Im proud of him and hope all majors take this stance against governors going against expert medical suggestions to keep safe from this awful virus.
we have been out all morning and it was comforting seeing all the signs that their business requires masks.
ðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ¼
edit: austin, Kyle, san marcos and new braunfels all have signs wear mask.
Full of bologna!
Hasnt this lil mini commie already reacted enough? Nobody but fake news media cares.
Everyone should start using their brains, not masks !
Wow I can’t wait to go to the grocery store without a mask
He just wants power ! Ugh 😑
I love Austin too ~
He isn’t listening to the real science!
Austin, Texas leftist sh*thole.
TX GOV IS ONE LOST FOOL
It’s funny how they say “and how about the people upset at the new mandate “ bihhh we were upset with the old one lol how u force people to do things since when have they ever been in our best interest
Who cares what that commie thinks.He is an enemy of America.
you're the trashiest mayor in Texas. Clean up your streets. The whole city is a homeless dump.
Austin will be over run by true Texans soon kicking out Californians
Well Mayor Steve Adler, good to hear you are acting rationally, while your Governor is acting . . . ???
Clearly a politicized issue, unfortunately. If you want to wear a mask do so. It's that simple.
Thank you for keeping us safe Mayor Adler!!!
freedom and liberty really upsets crazy leftists
They can’t make us wear a mask forever, it’s time to take them off. Personally I DONT wear them, I walk in with one then take it off right away, it’s my body, my choice, my business!!!
Good man, run for governor you got this! Get the wackadoo out!🇺🇸
Very afraid he will lose his power over everyone.
Why would anyone listen to this pathetic person!! Let Americans make their own decisions! Get government out of our rights!!
ABC/Disney and The University of Texas love that Chinese $$$.
Okay he's correct on this one but Adler is a pos he went to Mexico when he was telling everyone to shelter in place, he always says we need to do better on everything city related like its not his job, he is allowing austin to become a tent city when they passed millions of dollars for homeless relocation with the new transportation bill, the city water broke in a rainstorm for weeks when they had money allocated to update it they never did and used more money to fix it. The list goes on and on.
All of a sudden Democrats love oppressive dress codes. Total bums
Democrats are fascist tyrants. The irony. Liberals are against Liberty
The state law does not. He is ling to his people and killing middle class.
Because he is a leftist pos
Yes, thank you for caring for your citizens!
Masks dont impact the spread of virus. Congratulations texas for making policy decisions based in science. Let the mask nazis wear masks and think they're safe from the sniffles.
Wise Mayor!
Austin is a bunch of California transplants. I’m a nurse in healthcare and COVID is no more dangerous then the flu and pretending otherwise is stupid. Every doctor I work with is calling it more bullshit then even myself
Masks are for sheep
We have to start voting based on qualifications instead of a party. The governor of Texas is one the worst I have seen. Just because everything is "Bigger in Texas" doesn't mean their governor has to be the biggest fool.
Thank you to my Mayor Adler for listening to the health professionals.
We r still in a pandemic. People r still dying. Lifting the mask mask mandate is support for the number death to increase. The doctor and nurse are working crazy trying to save lives.
