Thousands of teachers, students absent as Omicron ravages Florida https://www.politico.com/states/flo...nts-absent-as-omicron-ravages-florida-1403882
Like everywhere else. The only difference is that kids are in school, maskless and learning and developing as kids. Exactly as it should be, and exactly as it always has been, despite the fear porn of the media and NPCs. School leaders in Leon County were optimistic that schools will be close to fully staffed when students show up for class on Wednesday. Schools superintendent Rocky Hanna estimated that the district was down three or four teachers each campus during a district workday Tuesday. “I was expecting worse,” Hanna told reporters Tuesday. “I’m happy to say it looks like the vast majority of our employees will be able to return to welcome our kids back tomorrow.”
He has a full time job, though he rarely works. Just posts all day. Will claim he supposedly works all night because of the time zone (which means he doesn't sleep).
A DeSantis-ordered Facebook probe never really took off https://www.politico.com/newsletter...d-facebook-probe-never-really-took-off-495709 Press like — Gov. Ron DeSantis, more than three months ago, directed Secretary of State Laurel Lee to launch an investigation into a Facebook program that could have given incumbent politicians “an advantage over challengers” — a charge first outlined in a September article on the social media giant by The Wall Street Journal. Update — So how’s that going? … well… um… Status quo — It would appear there is nothing going on with this probe. Pressed repeatedly for answers, Mark Ard, a spokesman for Lee, said this week in an email that “this matter remains open and under review.” The governor’s office was asked about this as well and did not respond. Flashback — If you'll recall DeSantis, wrote to Lee and told her that “your office should use all legal means to uncover any such violations, including but not limited to, issuing subpoenas, conducting witness interviews, reviewing all available information and consulting with law enforcement.” Saw this coming — The fact that the department has not really progressed on the governor’s request isn’t all that surprising. First, it was never really clear what state election laws Facebook could have violated. But more importantly, the agency doesn’t have any investigators on staff and normally hands over probes to other agencies, such as the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Call the election police — Of course, DeSantis is now trying to remedy that by creating a full-blown election police that would have a staff of more than 50 people to investigate violations of election law. Lee went before state legislators on Wednesday, where she even noted the agency has “important statutory duties assigned to us” but has no one to do the work. She called it a "gap" that needs to be fixed although both Democratic and Republican legislators have already sounded a bit skeptical about the need for such a large new unit. Containment strategy — More importantly,DeSantis’ decision to ask for the Facebook probe coincided with a push by some Republicans in the state to do a forensic audit of the 2020 election — a move that both the governor and Lee have said is not needed — sparked by the baseless allegations of voter fraud by former President Donald Trump. The governor has sidestepped that effort and has now pivoted to other "election integrity" actions, leaving this curious Facebook probe in apparent limbo.
Yep, Florida is an autocracy... and it just keeps getting worse every week. Florida senators suggest creation of $1 billion emergency fund for Gov. DeSantis with no oversight https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs...gency-fund-for-gov-desantis-with-no-oversight
I heard that Desantis plans to immediately transfer all of that to his 2024 campaign fund. That's gotta hurt, GWB. Stay strong, Bro.
Let's provide an typical example of a how a Florida GOP staffer and DeSantis supporter behaves... So his BMW collided with a Prius driver. And then he further deliberately rammed and shot at the Prius driver. The Prius driver shot back and killed him. All of this happening at the same intersection where Kuczwanski had a previous road rage incident in 2014 where he pointed a gun at another driver. Let's us ask -- how is this person still employed by the state considering his previous criminal transgressions. Not to worry -- he won't be shooting at anyone else in the future. Nor will he be able to raise money for DeSantis' next campaign.
