"Under the leadership of Governor Desantis, the state of Florida has become hostile to Black Americans and in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon."

@JaniceOCG DeSantis is trying to tank the economy to cater to a small demographic of white, religious Trump worshippers

A major feature is to drive out large national corporations and build a huge market of smaller homegrown businesses that support him. He thinks Publix, Walmart, and large developers will hold up the sky that you describe and support his vision of a sleeping populace. Problem is that nationals don't give up markets easily and developers will run out of land. He is a Yahoo fascist in a bad suit. Resentful of elites who rejected him at HLS and Yale.

@JaniceOCG Walmart, Publix, etc. don’t give pebbly turds about him or his agendas. They just want to make profits and won’t stay where it has a hard time hiring staff due to people leaving the state. We already have teacher, and nursing shortages, will lose agricultural workers, and other sectors too
