The Florida governor rejected millions in climate funding. Now his state is suffering from a storm fueled by climate change.
I live in Florida and this guy is a fucking plague on the state. But that’s what happens when your state is a punching bag and piggy bank for grifter politicians. Businesses and politicians here work from an ethics book that is all blank pages.
Fuck everything to do with FL.
It's a state where just under half the population has a willingness to do the right thing, but is gerrymandered and suppressed out of power. I don't like abandoning allies just because they're a local minority.
That's a really sweet and insightful way of seeing it, thanks.
I can actually understand that he denied to accept the funding. It's hard to claim that climate change is a hoax on one side, and on the other side take money to fix the problems caused by this "non-existent" issue.
That hasn't stopped republicans before, like denying covid exists, but I'll take that covid money.
Let's offer the funding directly to individuals. We'll call the program something fun like "Biden Bucks" or "Brandon Aid". The conservatives can choose to suffer while normal people will still be able to get the aid they need.
Conservatives would gladly shoot their own toes off if the disturbance would upset the normal people.
The political climate is rough down here. Neither side looks appealing, I feel like the blues haven't put a competitive pick up for a long time.
tbh even a sack of rice is more appealing to me than DeSantis
At least you can cook the sack of rice during emergencies.
I hope we see Biden respect Republican/undecided voters that can be swayed. I've seen enough from his campaign messaging to give me hope that he will.
"Storm fueled by climate change" lol like we never had storms before hahahhaha
You're obviously too dumb to understand the difference.
Okay, MedicPig lol
Just not that frequent
Cause that funding would have prevented that hurricane...
It can help limit how hot the water gets, and therefore how quickly future storms intensify.
Hahaahahhahhahaha tha fuck are you talking abou?
Hahaha right
