Florida bill allowing radioactive roads made of potentially cancer-causing mining waste signed by DeSantis

3 years ago by kuontom to c/politics

Under the new bill, Florida could have roads made of phosphogypsum, a material known by the EPA to contain a "potentially cancer-causing, radioactive gas," that's the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.

Isn't this guy trying to run for president? We need to understand how much worse things can get

Yup the one who wants to either get rid of the IRS and the departments of Education, Energy and Commerce entirely or to use them to "push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life." See this thread

I saw one article on that. What I did not see is any form of actual plan. Was he asked what happens to Trademarks and Copyrights? What happens to nuclear waste? I am sure all the businesses in the country will love the idea of getting rid of the Department of Commerce, which includes copyrights and trademarks.

At least he can remember which ones he wants to eliminate. That's a step up from Rick Perry.

The IRS, at least, was always intended to be temporary, as was the federal income tax.

He's somehow worse than Trump. I didn't think that was possible. Trump is uncaring and wants to steal. DeSantis seems like he just wants to hurt people AND be corrupt.
