America Is Fully Under The Boot Of Corporate Authoritarianism: As Texas And Other States Lift COVID Restrictions, 14 Corporations (So Far) Are Still Planning How To Exert Their Control Over Americans

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine

At ANP we rarely call for boycotts and we are not calling for them now. 

With that said, after reading the article below, should readers decide on their own they do not wish to do businesses with a number of corporate authoritarians, that is their call. We do realize that in some cases, folks might not have another option for certain services.

Our call to action here is to contact each of these businesses to make your opinion known. We will be providing all the contact details we can find for each, listed beneath the statements and info known about each corporations' plans.

The businesses are: Target, Starbucks, Macy's, Toyota, Hyatt, CVS, Walgreens, AMC, GM, Alamo Drafthouse, Kohl's, Costco, H-E-B/Central Market, and Kroger.

TARGET: "Target will continue requiring guests to wear masks in all of its stores, the company’s spokesman said, adding that the big-box retailer also required all store team members to wear masks at work, and provided them with reusable and disposable masks," Fox Business reported.

H-E-B/Central Market: H-E-B and Central Market will continue requiring masks of employees while “urging” customers to wear them. - MSN

"Although there is no longer a statewide mask order, H-E-B believes it is important that masks be worn in public spaces until more Texans and our Partners have access to the COVID-19 vaccine. As an essential service provider during the pandemic, H-E-B is focused on the health and safety of our Partners and customers. H-E-B will still require all our Partners and vendors to wear masks while at work, and we urge all customers to please wear a mask when in our stores."

While H-E-B and Central Market which is owned by H-E-B are not "mandating" consumers wear masks and are only "urging" them to, the control they are continuing to exert is forcing their employees to continue wearing the masks, along with other mandates, despite the fact that the TX Governor, and other state governors have lifted the state restrictions.

BOTTOM LINE

These companies are deliberately going against Governors that are trying to reopen their states, and bring back their economies that have been devastated by the lockdowns.

It is time for America to get back to normal and that does not include allowing  the creeping corporate authoritarianism.
