    Good. Why wasting money on Florida anyway? There will be much less of it, anyway, due to global warming.

    Him and Bavarian conservatives are truly one of a kind, saving on flood prevention (and hating drag queens reading books).

      One of a kind, indeed. I wonder if there’s a specific name for that kind.

        They are called “shills”. When there is government action in Florida, there is usually campaign donations behind it.

        Desantis champions stricter marijuana laws, because private prisons.

        Book burning has the backing of religious groups.

        It wouldn’t surprise me if construction and home restoration companies are behind this move.

          I was thinking of something with a little more - y’know - zazz. Something catchy with its own, like, logo.

      Andi Scheuer standing next to Ron de Santis is the crossover I never knew I wanted.

      Still don’t, actually. Because I fucking hate it.

    It’s just business, decrease state funding, federal emergency disaster relief will pay for it instead.
