Man, these jackasses won’t stop paving until they’ve made Coruscant.

“This is something that was leaked. It was not approved by me, I never saw that. It was intentionally leaked to a leftwing group to try and create a narrative.”
Taken from the standard Republican book of denial and deflection. I don’t think anyone is buying your bullshit, Pudding Boy Ronnie. Fuck off with your trying to twist your attempts to sell off the state’s natural areas to your development cronies and hope that no one noticed into some kind of victimhood narrative. Weak-ass weirdo.
His own admin staff announced the initiative a week before on twitter. This is just outright lying.
is that leftwing group in the room with us right now?
Need to make sure we check behind the curtains and under the bed…
They’ve reprogrammed the space lasers to now control people’s minds!
The leftwing groups are diabolical in how they are simply everywhere, much like “antifa” and BLM.
whose achievements during the more than five years since DeSantis was elected governor have been largely limited to rubber-stamping his hard-right agenda, lined up to denounce the projects. Many noted the plans had been drawn up in secret, with no-bid contracts destined for mysteriously pre-chosen developers outside the requirements of Florida law.
Oh my god that sounds like the American version of what was Doug Ford’s Greenbelt Development Plan…
Rick Scott wanted to do the same thing as governor. Ended shut down, because it was nothing but a big grift.
the article says Scott cowrote an article against it with Rubio?
One thing that should be mentioned is that Rick Scott hates DeSantis.

right I’m just saying it’s not a simple partisan issue, lots of people are piling on desantis for this on both sides. that’s the entire point of the article.

The whole state will be uninsurable which will begin the exodus. Subsequent hurricanes will eliminate neighborhoods that won’t get rebuilt. Then the ocean water rise will turn all their freshwater aquifers brackish ruining the groundwater. This is as the beaches are slowly taken away by the sea and coastal communities become ghost towns.
Florida is going down 👇 like the Titanic within the next 30 years. I too value natural land reserves but there are bigger movements at play to justify getting rid of conservative state leaders.
But then where will all the old people go to do acid and drink margaritas in the nude playing minigolf while their cats do bath salts??? Where will the alligators go to fuck on peoples front yards?
I don’t doubt you’re right, but 30 years? C’mon. You and I know that’s just fantasy.
I like your comment because it could be interpreted in either way. Of course less than 30 years for some communities.
Rising sea level is one thing, and that goes together with damaging tropical storms. All it takes is one or two storms to devastate a coastal city. Then either the federal government says there will be no disaster relief funds here in the future, or the insurance companies will refuse to cover the area. Either of those would effectively end serious rebuilding efforts.
That’s not to say everyone will immediately disappear. If you build a concrete bunker in a relatively high place, you could stay there for decades to come. But the bulk of the community would leave and never return. If you’re looking for a related example, check out the small communities built near Kilauea in Hawaii.
Or check out the Dutch and their below sea level communities.
The Dutch constructed enormous flood control projects to shut the country off from the sea. The Afsluitdijk and the Delta Works reduced the country’s coastline from 1,400 to 450 km. The measures needed to maintain its flood control works to accommodate sea level rise by 2100 are estimated at a cost of over €1 billion per year.
Look at a map of Florida and tell me how you’re going to close its coastline off from the sea.
This is not some small European country. This is AMERICA the powerful, dammit! We will build a wall around Florida, and we’ll make the sea pay for it!!!
But more seriously, point taken.
Looking at the map, what florida needs is a giant condom.
It’s not “ironically named,” it’s misleadingly named. This bullshit is never on accident.
Thousands of environmental advocates and activists swamped multiple state parks on Tuesday in a day of action to protest against not only the ravaging of broad swathes of wildlife habitat, but DeSantis’s lack of transparency and intention to limit public comment to only one hour at each state park during meetings that would be held simultaneously. [emphasis mine]
Desperately trying to pin blame elsewhere for a misadventure that was very demonstrably his own, he continued: “This is something that was leaked. It was not approved by me, I never saw that. It was intentionally leaked to a leftwing group to try and create a narrative.”
Oh, poor Ronnie boy! Did someone try to do something behind your back, you nazi fuck?
“The DeSantis administration is very tightly controlled and micromanaged from the top down, so the thought that he wasn’t aware of this or didn’t support it, or that somehow the people in those agencies would have pushed a huge plan like that without the governor’s knowledge or support, it’s just ludicrous,” said Aubrey Jewett, political science professor at the University of Central Florida’s school of politics, security and international affairs.
Oh no! You did this to yourself, you pudding-fingered asshat!
Turns out a lot of people like state parks, including a lot of cons. At least right now; I guess the right has not really set the full power of their poutrage machine on them, yet.
[1] Based on seeing how much use ones near me got over Labor Day, I’d say they are more popular than ever.
(Standard I listen to Knowledge Fight, not Alex Jones directly disclaimer.) I’ve heard extended rants from Alex Jones about the state parks he goes to. During covid he was whining on and on about limitations there, and on another occasion complained about not being able to drink openly there. When he wasn’t whining about it, he was waxing fondly of how much he enjoys it. So yeah, a lot of monsters still like public parks and nature(sometimes just killing it, since he talks about hunting a lot too.)
Has he tried calling the State Parks Woke yet? Free Thinking Republicans will LITERALLY HATE ANYTHING if you call it Woke! Black People? Woke! State Parks? Woke! Their own Children? Woke!
Forgot to lead with “Trees make you gay.” Rookie mistake.
“But right now, your normal allies on the Republican side are giving you just as much grief as anybody else, and it’s entirely self-inflicted. You step on a rake and boom, the handle comes up and hits you right on the nose.”

Maybe soon, the maker of this bot will realize it’s doing nothing but causing bloat to articles. If it’s made to be helpful, but literally no one wants it, is it still considered to be helpful?
Id be cool with the bot if it was accurate, but I’ve seen several sources where it’s just plain wrong. Calling CNN a center left outlet is fucking nuts. Id rather have nothing than give people bad info.
I thought it judges them based on US political spectrum, so if CNN is not on the center-left, where would it be?
Well the issue many people have is that the spectrum is drawn so that center is non existent, and everything left of it supports government owned means of production in some way, and to the right is private owned means of production.
To say anything is left of center, and also pro private company ownership of the means of production is just incorrect/ couldn’t exist.
So those people probably believe it you replaced the terms left/right with other terms, like leans blue or leans red, it would be more accurate. As blue in the U.S. is right of center. (Imagine CNN being against privately owned companies, we’ve never seen it)
It’s maybe center-left according to the spectrum determined by the American MNCs that constitute the corporate media here, but that’s like letting Big Ag determine what is and what is not a normal diet.
