Freedom for choice of transit? Nah

Freedom for affordable housing? Nah

Freedom to not provide safety to workers? Hell yeah! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ¦…

Glad to see my governor making great choices for my fellow Floridians. Really was an important issue to prioritize too.

TBH I just don't understand how this kind of human garbage policy can be popular anywhere. I mean, it must be popular if DeSantis has been elected right? Who are the people voting for this shit? And who are the people letting it happen?

I am guessing the folks impacted by this are not empowered to vote against him, either because they are undocumented or poor or what not. I'm sure some still vote for him, but I don't know how anyone can pass this law. The earth is getting hotter and laboring outside in the hottest part of the day without protections is going to get people killed.

It hasn't been proven yet but I expect that the voting machines - invented during the George Bush era - don't work right. It cannot be the case that americans are dumb enough to actually support the right wing to the degree they otherwise appear to. Then again I'm watching from an actually civilized country, in horror, as y'all cannibalize yourselves and your democracy over some retards, and ruin ours by proxy, so according to fuckmericans i can't possibly know what I'm talking about..
