Florida threatened to sue the federal government over the idling of the cruise industry

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Attorney General Ashley Moody said they would consider filing a lawsuit against the federal government over its ongoing restriction on the cruise industry.

During a roundtable discussion with cruise industry executives on Friday, Moody said the state was weighing its legal options against the Biden Administration and the US Centers for Disease Control for keeping the cruise industry idled amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In October, the CDC announced a new framework for sailing that requires cruises to have onboard testing and carry out mock voyages and many other requirements before they are allowed to restart in US ports. The industry was shut down a year ago after several coronavirus outbreaks erupted on cruise ships.

"You can't have an agency shutting down an entire industry based on outdated arbitrary capricious decisions and so we will take all legal action as necessary," Moody said.

In Part I DeSantis threatened to make vaccine passports illegal via executive order. Setting aside whether he can legally do this or not many people will not travel to Florida if they feel it is unsafe.

3. Does he own the cruise companies?

Has he personally been profiting from these cruise companies? With assholes like him he must be or think he is losing money.

4. Exactly. Can't the cruise industry file their own lawsuits without government help?

5. If they got any stimulus he probably thinks he owns them.

6. Does he have standing as the governor
