(8,731 posts)Time after, when Scott asks for federal assistance. Tell him to get those old lazy assholes off the couches and get to work, and use Socialist Security hand out to pay for damage. By the boots GQP. Grab your damn boots. Use some of that Medicare Fraud money to fix your state. (This does not apply to Florida Dems. Just the assholes that have been threatening to kill me the last 6 years. Proud boys and 3 percenters dwell in Florida. As do trumps and Roger Stone)

(402 posts)I wondered how much money Ron DeSantis blew threw exporting immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, that were here legally, by the way, and how much of the taxpayer's money that was spent on sending the empty plane to Delaware, I think, just to "mess with the liberals". And, also, he had to go to Texas to get them in the first place. That money would have sure gone further and for a much better cause, if he had just hung onto it. And how many of those people in Florida scream about "socialism" every day, but are still going to accept money from the Federal government to help rebuild?!!

(1,388 posts).crews coming in from, say, Texas to do clean up. Every time that I go to Florida it is my brown brothers and sisters who are doing all of the hard work. Construction, landscaping, hotels etc. It seems like immigration drives the Florida economy. It definitely will drive the clean up and rebuild. My apologies for my sweeping generalizations.

(3,495 posts)But the working poor, and all of those folks living off their monthly S.S. checks, will have had a hard decision to make over the last couple of days. Do they try to ride it out, or spend the money they don't have, to travel a couple of hundred miles, hoping to get a rundown motel room for a couple of nights out of the hurricane's path?
And G-d help them if they have pets the care about.

Or face some appropriate legal penalty?
Just asking for the little guy in the street. DeSantis has already heard from the big people with most of the money, and it seems that they agree with him. One more reason to have that big ol' barbeque I keep mentioning. You bring the sauce and I'll get the slaw ready.
