They don't vote for DeSantis so why would he care about them?

Original article from Time.com But it can be found here as well:

No One Is Talking About What Ron DeSantis Has Actually Done to Florida

Even a cursory dip into the statistics of social and economic well-being reveals that Florida falls short in almost any measure that matters to the lives of its citizens. More than four years into the DeSantis governorship, Florida continues to languish toward the bottom of state rankings assessing the quality of health care, school funding, long-term elder care, and other areas key to a successful society.

Florida may be the place where “woke goes to die”—as DeSantis is fond of saying—but it is also where teachers’ salaries are among the lowest in the nation, unemployment benefits are stingier than in any other state, and wage theft flourishes with little interference from the DeSantis administration.

DeSantis weaponizes the cultural wars to distract attention from the core missions of his governorship, which is to starve programs geared toward bettering the lives of ordinary citizens so he can maintain low taxes on the wealthy and corporations.

He can’t be bothered with such things as helping people of Florida, the economy and tourists because he is busy with his pudding fingers signing 6 week abortion bans, screwing around with Mickey Mouse and telling medical professionals who to treat. My goodness, he is barely human, much less a governor. He is on a book tour Dude. He may have declared an emergency but that was in between signing a book why he is a top gov.




This is Ft. Lauderdale. Historic rainfall and flooding. Where is DeSantis? Pulling a rat’s tail with his pudding fingers. Give the man a spoon and teach him to use it.


Kos sure ripped him a new one.😱
