23. FL has Zika now and in state governance is totally red.

Sep 2016

Doesn't mean a damn thing to congress. They don't give a shit about health, as long as it's not their family, they're willing for the rest to die so they can score a point (stupid, stupid, I know) about the ACA. They are maniacal and homicidal. I also have a daughter who's child bearing age. Luckily she's more career minded at this point and not ready to start a family. Hopefully by the time she's ready, FL will be spraying for mosquitos again. I hope Rick Scott and his family get Zika, he deserves it for cutting the funding by 1 million dollars just as Zika was ramping up. If he wasn't so awful, and cared about anything in the world other than making himself and the other rich even richer, we wouldn't be having this issue at all. Mosquito control has been done in FL since I was a child and I'm retiring next year. This is the first year without it, right when we need it the most.
