    Makes no fucking sense. Also this lame ass “government” shouldn’t be even allowed to dictate this shit to businesses.

    All I can think of is coal lobbyists paying for this shit to happen. Fuck you all; wish you the worst.

      I don’t know one that sums up Florida, but I know one that sums up how I feel about Florida: Fremdschämen.

      Edit: Actually, I guess we could just add Höllenloch to it and get what you were trying to say: Fremdschämenshöllenloch or Vicariously embarrassing hell hole. I’m sure someone whose German is much, much better than mine will breeze through here and correct me.

    This is simply a fuck you to the rest of the world. “We care so little about climate change that we’re going to intentionally make it worse”

    HB 1217 also prevents local governments from purchasing items such as vehicles or appliances based on the fuels they use

    Technically this allows for malicious compliance “actually we wanted to buy a gas powered engine but the law didn’t allow us to specify the fuel”

      I mean… EVs don’t use fuel?

      All in all, wtf is even the point of this? You have to assume some fuel people gave him money.

    I don’t understand the purpose of so many restrictive policies. Very overbearing to have a government like that

    America and their governments get dumber by the minute. It is amazing how much stupidity one can cast into a law, being blinded by ideology (or better, idiocity).
