for this idea/craziness.

I mean, don’t ya wonder if these anti-vaxxers will someday see the evil that this point is?

Sure, we’re hardcore individuals and we don’t need the rest of society to follow safety measures during a pandemic, am I right?

I’m thinking Darwin will save us.

2. DeathSantis wants officers who are insubordinate.

The officers DeathSantis is courting have all defied department policy at least, & perhaps even a direct order. I'm not an expert, I don't know exactly how their actions should be technically & legally classified, but regardless of how it's classified it amounts to insubordination, & that's what he wants on Florida police forces.

I guess this means DeathSantis also believes it's ok for school districts to defy his orders banning masks? I mean, he clearly likes insubordinate people who defy orders & policies, right?

Makes a perfect campaign ad. What was De Santis' plan? Create a situation where there would be constant crisis in Florida?

We tune in to the beauty of the place and exciting diversity of cultures and tune out DeSatan and his ilk as much as we can. Sending you greetings from Broward county!

$5k is barely a drop in the bucket when it comes to moving expenses. That’s in addition to all the other batshit crazy things that are wrong with this idea. SMDH

I remember when my company was moving to Texas and my manager said to me, “Have you seen how much they’re offering you to move?” My reply: “Have you seen the severance package if I don’t? Do the math!” People are dazzled by $$$ unless they take a closer look.

pay for your funeral costs, but rush on down to Florida, you police officers who don't like to follow orders. Florida is the perfect place for you!

I expect Texas to up the ante here. Abbott doesn't want to let DeSatan get a leg up on him for "Craziest Governor in the United States" honors. He'll offer $5,000 and a Texas Longhorn, or something equally as stupid to pry those "cream of the crop" police officers away from Florida.

FL does not offer a competitive wage?

The current cops are going to be happy to see these newcomers whose main qualification is that they are not vaxxed?

Especially local cops recently hired and do not get the $5 grand.

What a disgraceful fool. Like the mini dictator running Brazil....he needs to be charged with genocide against his fellow Floridians.

These obsessed "librul-haters" need to be held to account for their culpability for thousands of needless deaths under his incompetent and destructive leadership.

I swear, if I was a resident of Florida, and one of my loved ones contracted or died of Covid as a result of his reckless behavior....he had better beef up his security detail, because.........👿

Unvaccinated, and don't intend to be? Good!

Police officer? Even better, collect $5K as you enter!

Don't forget to pre-book your COVID intensive care bed well in advance, they are very popular at the moment. Don't know why, but they are.

DeSantis is . . . no, can't find the words to describe this dysfunctional human being.
