Firefighters confronted DeSantis' governing board on Wednesday. “The removal of this benefit takes away, for some, their entire reason for working here."

Make no mistake this is a case of ‘the guy we voted for to Fuck with the people we don’t like is going after us instead’. Needle dick Ron laid waste to the state of Florida so he could play politics and the people of Florida got exactly what they wanted.
Well now the state is worse than it’s ever been and ol meatball is getting absolutely clowned on in the national spotlight. Eat shit dickhead, you thought you were the natural next choice but that’s all over.
Orange County, where Disney World is located, went for the D candidate 53-46. Don't blame them for the malignant human tumor their state foisted on them.
But Disney themselves donated plenty to R candidates for years. The state and its inhabitants are finding out what that gets you.
I’ve spent far more time in the sunshine state than i ever would wish on anyone, Im not saying everyone in the state is brainwashed but there are plenty of people who cheer on as their state is imploding.
We have to acknowledge that Republicans have lots to offer if you're a mega corp.
bribescampaign donations, they can instead be forced to comply with subtle threats to leak details of their varioushomosexual escapades to the media.But you see, Disney made the mistake of going woke. How dare they cast non-white or any gay characters in anything. Next they'll tell us women should be able to vote. It's a slippery slope.
If they think the implosion will "own the libs", they are for it.
Blame the 46, yes. That is still atrociously high.
True, but I bet you that the 53 isn't able to do much about that 46. At least nothing that fits in the bounds of a civil democracy.
Wait, Disney world is also in a county called Orange? That's pretty funny, I never knew that
Yeah, Orlando is Orange county. Florida was the largest producer in the U.S. California is recently passing them up due to issues. Between the two it something like 95% of all the citrus grown in the U.S.
That said, if you want a sweeter, juicier orange, get an orange from Florida. If you want a longer shelf life orange, go with California.
Lol it’s come out the fire department endorsed desantis. Just thought you would like to know.
Ooh, then that's on them now.
We don’t know who this person voted for. They could be totally against Desantis and never voted for him like millions of other people did as well. I certainly didn’t vote for the premiere of my province who is corrupt and screwing us all over constantly.
I know a guy in the Reedy Creek fire department. He is a hard core Republican. When Desantis took over the board he didn’t think it would be a bad thing.
I like the guy and have known him for years so it’s sad to see it go this way but you get the government you votes for.
It seems like a fair number of these firefighters voted for the Leopards Eating Faces Party, and are now getting their faces eaten.
You get the government you voted for?
For so many people in this country that isn't the case.
I live in a deep red state. I sure as fuck did not vote that way.
The country has gotten so bad that I'm not looking into moving States any more. I'm looking at other countries.
I have been practicing my pronunciation of "Cahnahdah," trying to get it like Robin from 8 bit show & tell. Except I'm divorced with a kid and new partner who has a kid. I'd have to convince 10 other people to go with me so everyone can still see their kids.
You got any good skills? Like nunchuck fighting skills, bow hunting skills... Canada only likes immigrants if they've got good skills.
Well Napoleon, my great great grandmother was from Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, it's too remote for me to get the benefit of Canadian citizenship. But I'm willing to try - mainly for my daughter's future. The US is fucked and I don't see it getting better. And I won't bring American bullshit with me. Maybe I need to meet a cute 40-something Canadian to smooth the waay.
This reminds me of the old women that were living off of their permanent alimony payments in Florida suddenly having that yanked by Republicans and who are VERY angry at DeSADIST as well.
Firefighters in Florida are about 90% conservatives. Even if this specific firefighter is not a conservative, his complaint is shared by his conservative coworkers. The conservatives are bitching and moaning about the results of their conservatism.
That’s fair and if that’s the case it’s leopards ate my face material.

I'm not sure about that figure. Cops? Sure. But don't know about firefighters. They always seemed way cooler and are actual heroes.
