Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the Jeff Bezos of state governors. His state has record economic output at the expense of the health and safety of those who work there, pushing them harder than is necessary yielding record health problems. And Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, how many unvaccinated motherfuckers are living in Florida to still give the record number of state infections and hospitalizations?!
Goddamn, I don't like Florida. For one thing, I don't know if you noticed, but it's too fucking hot. How much infrastructure do you think the college and professional sports teams down there have to invest in to keep the players cool from spring to fall?
There is only one redeeming quality in Florida. It's a regional Pokemon hotspot in the U.S. It is southern enough spawn certain regional Pokemon, like Corsola. That's right. I am considering the only redeeming quality of an area that has had U.S. statehood for 176 years to be the fact that a Japanese gaming company made it special a few years ago.
I like Disney World, but I hate the people and the heat and the lines. It's not fun when I can only ride at most 3 rides a day, even with a disability pass, and therefore need to stay in the sweltering summer sun and maintain my hydration by chugging water that is going to give me the worst burps and shits in my life. I would rather go in the winter during a midweek, and I hate that my kids' schools don't do midweek vacations. Besides Christmas break, they only do extended weekends, and every vacation is expensive on Christmas break. Fuck that shit.
I have, unfortunately, been bombarded with news about Florida. I have said in the past that I was trying to cut off national news, but this is unavoidable unless I watch Fox News 24 hours a day, and I don't hate myself that much. I am oddly intrigued by all that is happening with Governor DeSantis banning mask mandates in schools and skyrocketing COVID-19-related medical problems. I find it as intriguing as watching a fire burn. I don't want to stop watching the fire burn, because it's fire and it's pretty. I'm just going to sit back, wear my mask, and watch the metaphorical fire that is Florida burn. While I am at it, I am also going to sit back, wear my mask, and watch the literal fire that is California burn, because California is on fire again.
