"As I'm sitting here stuck on a Brightline train because of flooding in my district, all those stormwater projects he cut look pretty stupid right now," a Florida lawmaker said.
He knows democrats will bail him out because they do the right thing. Insurance agencies won't, though. The writing is on the wall when your insurance premiums skyrocket. Or worse, they drop you.
In May, DeSantis signed a bill that removes most references to climate change from state law and streamlines fossil fuel development projects—"Don't Say Climate Change," the bill's critics have called it, including a meteorologist who spoke up against it on air. On the day he signed the legislation, Key West was a record-setting 115°F.
"If we stop people from using the words 'climate change' that means we won't have any more flooding or hurricanes. I'm the smartest." - Meatball Ron
Oh, here we are again in the hands out, crying for help and funds portion of the "no guv'ment!!!" and "we're gonna sucede!!!!" crowd.
Is your raised truck not high enough for you to take shelter from the floods in? Can't you hang your wet clothes to dry from the "rolling coal" pipe you have? Can you use those 27 trump flags made of asbestos as a blanket to warm you?
Maybe as you're waiting for the "guv'ment" to come rescue you like a frightened fairytale princess, feed you with taxpayer dollars and repair your uninsurable without "guv'ment" help homes.... Maybe you could just float on your back in the water while you wait and think about your stance on climate change?
And remember, as your elderly neighbor's dead body floats by next to you, you can always use all your left over "Joe Brandon, I DID THAT!!!" gas pump stickers to put over their eyes and mouth to keep them closed.
I look forward to seeing the cost of insurance in flood prone areas go up and up and up. No way to get people to move preemptively due to climate change other than to make them go bankrupt first. STOP fucking bailing them out, STOP making US citizens pay for the shitty decisions of red states.
jesus and the sky god and their special ghost friend are all we need! you all must be a bunch of evil woke transgenders if you don't realize desantis is the only thing protecting our great maga country from a giant woke rainbow of destruction
"Weatherz are woke libz!!! Rain is a Chinese Jewish CRT and if you ingest the water, Hunter Biden did the chemicals in it so you're a trans! If trump could diarrhea in this water, even up high from his gold helicopter, floods would all melt and turn into enough nachos for everyone and beer and we'd have a second super bowl, but instead DEMZ locked him in prison for being Jesus and making a most BEAUTIFUL phone call!!!" My penis don't work guud and it's frustrationing cuz I want to use it for gay and not tell anyone else at church!!!!"
DeSantis's disaster response was good. He did an excellent job the last few hurricane seasons, including when Ian hit us, and he's cognizant of how crooked the insurance companies were, among other things.
Say what you will about everything else (and I have a lot to say, trust me, I would not vote for him), but y'all are just demonizing him because he's a Republican. And, quite fairly, for some destructive party line policies.
Also... y'all haven't seen anything yet. I was in this rain, and again, it's nothing compared to Ian or the upcoming season.
