St. Petersburg, Florida (CNN) -- As Florida Republicans, led by Gov. Ron DeSantis, escalate their fight against President Joe Biden's coronavirus vaccine mandate, they are testing a new method to support resisters: giving taxpayer money to the unvaccinated.

cut off DeSantis' COVID and maybe even DOT funding. Maybe shutter some Federal facilities. Let him be the isolationist, independent asshole he wants to be.
I think DeSantis and Abbott are in a secret contest to see which one can do the most evil and cruel shit each year.
