This is going to absolutely devastate Florida. They need as many people as possible to do work, simply not enough workers live in Florida to rebuild it after a massive weather event. Anything that prevent workers from entering Florida means anyone working in Florida can charge more.

This may actually sink Desantas as a presidential candidate. There are more storms on the way. a slightly damaged house can become unlivable if subsequent events.

Nah, they'll just spin the blame on "greedy migrants", and you know people will buy that

[–] Hillock@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Don't you know the migrants are causing the hurricanes in the first place.

Republican preachers in the 1980’s explained clearly so that we all understand that hurricanes only hit gay people.

/s

I mean sure, hurricanes cross the borders without any approval or paperwork and steal the local resources…

No, the gays cause hurricanes. Do you even science?

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

those dastardly rich migrants. Always being so poor they can't even live.

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

People will buy that because Democrats are incapable of countering Republican narratives.

Florida also has a number of restrictive rules about other trades/services not accepting out of state certifications. Traditionally this has been to protect Florida trades, but has become a monopoly where service is degrading while costing more.

Even then there was a lot of 'off book' work done by people who could do the job. Basically smaller jobs there would be easily knocked out, and less profitable have to wait for an official company to acknowledge them or just get someone. Small damages can become big problems if not fixed before the next storm.

Good. This is what they wanted, as reflected by their votes.

They need as many people as possible to do work

No they don't. The only thing they need is to be economically and politically quarantined. Florida has become an openly fascist state is a threat to the well-being of the US and the rest of its people. They need to understand the consequences of their choices.

Nope. DeSantis was never a viable opponent to Trump, and the numbers have reflected that from day one.
