Also Disney’s getting hit at movie theaters too. No money coming in at all.

Florida’s system is broken. People have been unable to file. Those who have filed have not been paid a month later.

purposely to prevent claims.

The Florida Republican Party worked hand in hand with him to devise the system. Democrats here must pound on that this year and in 2020. The situation makes it totally possible that democratic politicians take over one or both chambers of the Legistlature in November. The Agriculture Secretary, Nikki Fried has been an outstanding leader when compared to DeSantis, if she keeps that up, she most likely will become Governor in 2022. We will remove Rubio in 2022 and Scott in 2024, Scott in particular can't run from what he did with the unemployment benefits system, people honestly paid in thinking they could use it if needed, he had schemed all along to screw them when they applied.
