Maybe we should have a general Meatball Ron (desantis) thread

Little bit of a body shaming term.

But basically means a person is overcompensating for other shortcomings. Some signs are being overly aggressive (DeSantis going after "woke" and Disney), and being loud about it. Treating others with disrespect to show them how masculine you are.

a whinging bitch is what we called it back in the day.
 
Another continuing dismal failure for our govenor, Ron DiShonest. He's working on it but it will take time. It takes a lot more time to fix real problems than made up ones.

Redfern, DeSantis's press secretary, told Yahoo Finance the governor continues to look for ways to lower costs and draw more insurers to the state. "We continue to work with the Office of Insurance Regulation to monitor the market’s stability," Redfern said. "Even the most aggressive reforms will take time." That requires patience voters may lack.

Homeowners in DeSantis’s Florida face a costly and unique problem

Florida homeowners insurance is the costliest in the nation--and going higher. Critics say Florida governor Ron DeSantis should do more to fix the problem instead of campaigning for president.

Conventions that were going to be held in Florida are cancelling. At least 6 organizations decided against holding their conventions in Florida.

One of the groups cited "Governor DeSantis" as the reason.

Some of the larger conventions bring in millions each in economic benefits, as the convention goers spend money on hotels and other living accommodations, food, and other spending.

It’s funny to hear Ron’s campaign complain “media driven stunts”.

Another example for the every accusation is a confession file.

Ron DeSantis Lets Trump Bully Him Out Of Helping Florida On EVs - Jalopnik

Right now, we’re all told that we as individuals should make the switch to a cleaner way of living if we want to prevent the planet from turning into an ash-covered hellscape. But really, most of the big changes can only be made at the state, federal and corporate level. It’s for this reason...

"Fiscal conservative" vetoes bill that would save Florida millions so he can pander to the ethanol crowd in Iowa.

From the comments section:

Ironically, Ron Desantis’ poll numbers being such a drag makes him illegal in Florida!

:tearsofjoy:

I mean, from his perspective, if the media didn't report on all the bad stuff, and only report the positive stuff, then he'd look like an angel! If no one knows about it, it didn't happen.

It'd be interesting to know how much Airbnb type rentals are driving those prices up. In a lot of places in FL there are whole neighborhoods/condo complexes of short term rentals.
Click to expand...

Most towns and cities and municipalities around me have essentially banned short-term rentals like that. In some areas if you live in a multi-family as your primary residence you can Airbnb a unit inside. But it's absolutely illegal to just own properties and short-term rent them.

Until we unfuck the housing problem in this country by seriously eliminating parts of zoning laws in different ways and areas, It just has to be like this.

Southwest FL is a mess. After the hurricane, those middle class and below, can't afford to rebuild to new standards. Rich Mfr's buying houses for lot prices with cash. So FL ain't so affordable. No more cinder block with sprayed on stucco and chicken wire houses. What's a mother to do.

And all these super small government GQP voting motherfuckers will want the government to get involved and regulate it in their favor and bail them out. Fuck them all eat shit.

I feel bad for the homeowners that don't vote GQP though. They deserve better

The irony being, it's probably zoning laws they are using to ban them. I agree with you on "unfucking" zoning though, as opposed to tossing it out.

Well...I don't know whether to applaud DeSantis or laugh at him.

DeSantis vetos $377 million in funds, mostly for energy-efficiency rebates and electrification programs. DeSantis don't want none of your woke electricity. Only the cleanest coal and gasoline products for Florida Man.

".....$7 million was poised for a training program for electrification contractors."

Another quality move by the Desantis and the Ate My Face people that voted him in.
