"It may be years before marine life can recover from the impacts of the ongoing explosion of toxic algae that already has killed hundreds of tons of fish and other sea life washing up on Florida’s southwest coast," writes Truthout.
According to Florida resident Jason Pim, Governor Rick Scott has been the problem, as noted by Truthout:
Florida’s water quality issues have been under Gov. Scott’s responsibility for the last eight years. Instead of doing anything to prevent the two current toxic algae crises, however, Scott has been “throwing gasoline on this marine life dumpster fire,” Pim said. “The Scott administration spent eight years deregulating and slashing budgets — supposedly benefitting us tax payers. But cleaning this mess up will cost us many times more than if our leaders would have had the political courage to limit the nutrient pollution in the first place.”
Even conservatives are seeing that something must be done:
Donald Trump on the other hand, thinks Gov. Rick Scott has done a great job, and that DeSantis will do the same. That means, the people of Florida can expect the same under DeSantis as they had under Scott. Never mind the fact that DeSantis is a racist asshole:
It's hard to understand how someone could be considered one of the best governor's when his state is going through one of, if not the worse pollution problem in the United States, but Donald Trump doesn't give a shit.
After all, Trump doesn't care that polluters pollute, just like this graph shows:
Trump also went with his cliche of saying the left wants America to be Venezuela, though I'm sure Trump could explain how that is so in a more literate fashion than Twitter.
Some other views on Twitter:
For Trump, cutting education, while standing by and letting people pollute your water is considered good governance. So even though Governor Scott allowed Florida's ocean and drinking water get poisoned, he at least didn't allow Florida to become Venezuela.
