I wanna get one of those cigarette boats and smuggle abortion pills and alternative meat into Florida and trans people out.
It’ll be black with a red racing stripe and a spoiler like the A Team van and I’ll name it the Baracus.
The fun part is the coast guard won’t care.
Can I join you? I will bring one two and we can start the freedom floatilla.
I don’t care what Rick Desantis says. It’s my right as an American to enjoy Soylent Green.
Does it come in green now? Last I checked it was original, chocolate, or coffee.
It comes in Mint Chocolate, which is green.
Green, red and yellow.
Now they just need purple and they can get Eminem and D12 to do an ad with their song slightly altered
Alternative meat sounds like a slang term for a dildo.
It’s good to see Florida really taking the lead on tackling the issues that matter.
Someone who doesn’t get sarcasm downvoted you.
The joke is on you; I was being serious!
Honestly though, I wouldn’t be certain it was sarcasm either given the many unfortunate belief systems I’ve encountered on the Internet.
I know Poe’s Law, but it does seem pretty bad that Poe’s Law could apply here. xD
So capitalism is bad and the government can tell me what I can and can’t buy… according to Florida legislators? Sure sounds like the republican went woke.
Republicans have never been for free market capitalism really. They just talk like they were, but in reality the only difference is that they’re corrupted by a different set of corporations.
Real free markets are too much for the voters to handle, apparently.
Well, unions are actually highly regulated in the US. It was never about “small government”, it’s about using the government as a cudgel against who they don’t like, which is practically everyone below a billion net worth, and even some above.
The whole Republican establishment agenda right now is to do the white Christian version of Sharia Law.
Oh, but don’t tell them about the house insurance rates, that’s a problem for their constituency, not them.
Always with the lame anecdotal argument that sounds like it came from a drunk idiot.
Cool…😶
I’m so fucking sick of the Florida government. House insurance is astronomical, but they’re worried about lab-grown meat, teachers saying gay, and books.
Think of them a bit like a friend with a drug problem. They gotta ride this train all the way to the bottom before there will be any interest in change.
But why? What do they have to ban ethically-sourced meat?
In fairness to them it’s not meat. Don’t ban it just label it appropriately, like sparkling protein.
How is it not meat?
It is literally meat though.
It cuts into the meat industry’s profits and is primarily desired by liberals
Because they are free market Republicans. /s
Not destroying the planet and killing sentient beings is “woke”, so they have to oppose it.
One bite and, bam, your transmexican.
What’s wrong with my transmexican?
Its an affront in the eyes of republijesus.
Got to remember that one… It’ll come in handy for years to come!
“Furthermore, on this day, henceforth shall it be known:
If it ain’t moo, cain’t moo, won’t moo, ain’t not never gonna moo, and can’t make you moo, then it is of the devil and shall not be permitted.
Also, the words ‘front loaf’ are not permissible descriptions of the governor’s crotchetal regions.
Let it be law. “
Because they need to keep the kill count high otherwise some other demon will surpass them.
I love how humans try their hardest to cut down on the amount of destruction they cause only for other humans to villainize and tear them down at every turn.
We’ll, I guess that means lab-grown meat is showing promise! I look forward to seeing it in stores.
Party of small government my fucking ass. Also, isn’t the free market allowed to produce any product and compete for consumer spending? Isn’t that capitalism?
It’s all bad faith arguments. They just use it as a weapon to get their way. Although, this reeks of corporate regulatory capture.
No.
Capitalism is when certain industries and certain corporations amass such a market share that they are able to bribe legislatures to prohibit any competitors to their product, under force of law.
Similar to the exertion of influence by noble families under feudalism.
If our democracy has already been captured by such corporate actors, then it is difficult to imagine how “remembering to vote” could meaningfully correct such deep systemic flaw. Emigrating to Norway seems to be one of a handful of plausible remaining options
Desantis is literally pushing these laws and screaming woke while pocketing millions of dollars of “donations” from the large cattle ranching companies throughout the state. Hell, he started attacking Disney once they stopped paying him millions in bribes too. Disney’s disagreement with the dont say gay bill was the perfect excuse
Medicine is too woke for Florida. So is meat, so are books.
Anyone have any predictions?
I feel like seat belts are going to be too woke soon for Florida.
Driving licenses altogether might be too woke.
Salads? Too woke for Florida
Open internet is too dangerous for our kids.
What if they learn too much?
I feel like they should probably get rid of the seatbelt law… let the problem sort itself out,
Yea, the covid deniers really helped the rational side of the population by weeding themselves out in similar circumstances
The problem with this is that ambulances are a constrained resource.
Not to be too much of a dick about it… but if that’s the best reason… by all means we absolutely should.
(in reality the seat belt law has saved innumerable lives. same with warning labels. There’s a lot of dangers that are not immediately obvious.)
I agree with you, I think seatbelt laws are a positive thing. I’m just pushing back on the idea that not wearing a seatbelt only impacts the individual because it’s not true. People can and do suffer and die due to constraints on emergency resources like ambulances and ICU beds.
That’s true, but there’s a solution there that’s better for everyone- pay firemen/ems a livable wage, and maybe a bit more so they can pay off the school bills etc.
@Varyk @zarkanian Florida is too woke for Florida. It’s all gonna come crashing down soon like a house of cards in the wind.
This reminds me that Miami has pumps running 24 hours a day to keep it from flooding.
So pumps will become woke soon and then Miami will be underwater.
Today I learned.
They should do what the Dutch did. But I wonder if that’s also too woke…?
Oh what did the dutch do?
Even before you tell me, I can confirm that anything the Dutch does is too woke for Florida.
It was something that involved books and science, so yes, it is not something Florida would ever consider. Conservatives despise books and science.
Florida will be full of those sovereign citizen license plates, if it’s not already.
Florida is taking away the freedom of any person to eat whatever they want? Is anyone surprised?
Alabama also passed a bill to ban the sale and manufacturing of it, making it a Class C felony.
What in the fuck is going on in these guys heads. I get being beholden to the cattle industry but this shit is beyond that
They probably have their identities tied to meat consumption. That’s also a reason for the climate denialism. I recently learned about petro-masculinity and it seems very plausible to me.
It’s about pushing all the people who live there and disagree with the Republican agenda.
They are actually that fragile.
The same people believed margarine was a grave socialist (iirc) threat to the country and made the production and sale of that a felony. I think around a century ago. Something, something, those who neglect to learn history, something something…
