    Medicine is too woke for Florida. So is meat, so are books.

    Anyone have any predictions?

    I feel like seat belts are going to be too woke soon for Florida.

    Driving licenses altogether might be too woke.

    Salads? Too woke for Florida

      I feel like they should probably get rid of the seatbelt law… let the problem sort itself out,

        The problem with this is that ambulances are a constrained resource.

          Not to be too much of a dick about it… but if that’s the best reason… by all means we absolutely should.

          (in reality the seat belt law has saved innumerable lives. same with warning labels. There’s a lot of dangers that are not immediately obvious.)

            I agree with you, I think seatbelt laws are a positive thing. I’m just pushing back on the idea that not wearing a seatbelt only impacts the individual because it’s not true. People can and do suffer and die due to constraints on emergency resources like ambulances and ICU beds.

              That’s true, but there’s a solution there that’s better for everyone- pay firemen/ems a livable wage, and maybe a bit more so they can pay off the school bills etc.

        Yea, the covid deniers really helped the rational side of the population by weeding themselves out in similar circumstances

        They wouldn’t do that. They’d ban them, cuz only libtards are cowardly and gay enough to use them. Or something. I hate this timeline.

      Florida will be full of those sovereign citizen license plates, if it’s not already.

        This reminds me that Miami has pumps running 24 hours a day to keep it from flooding.

        So pumps will become woke soon and then Miami will be underwater.

          Today I learned.

          They should do what the Dutch did. But I wonder if that’s also too woke…?

            Oh what did the dutch do?

            Even before you tell me, I can confirm that anything the Dutch does is too woke for Florida.

              It was something that involved books and science, so yes, it is not something Florida would ever consider. Conservatives despise books and science.
