Medicine is too woke for Florida. So is meat, so are books.

Anyone have any predictions?

I feel like seat belts are going to be too woke soon for Florida.

Driving licenses altogether might be too woke.

Salads? Too woke for Florida

I feel like they should probably get rid of the seatbelt law… let the problem sort itself out,

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The problem with this is that ambulances are a constrained resource.

Not to be too much of a dick about it... but if that's the best reason.... by all means we absolutely should.

(in reality the seat belt law has saved innumerable lives. same with warning labels. There's a lot of dangers that are not immediately obvious.)

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I agree with you, I think seatbelt laws are a positive thing. I'm just pushing back on the idea that not wearing a seatbelt only impacts the individual because it's not true. People can and do suffer and die due to constraints on emergency resources like ambulances and ICU beds.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That’s true, but there’s a solution there that’s better for everyone- pay firemen/ems a livable wage, and maybe a bit more so they can pay off the school bills etc.

Yea, the covid deniers really helped the rational side of the population by weeding themselves out in similar circumstances

[–] kvartsdan@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 7 months ago

They wouldn't do that. They'd ban them, cuz only libtards are cowardly and gay enough to use them. Or something. I hate this timeline.

Open internet is too dangerous for our kids.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

What if they learn too much?

[–] ansiz@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Florida will be full of those sovereign citizen license plates, if it's not already.

@Varyk @zarkanian Florida is too woke for Florida. It's all gonna come crashing down soon like a house of cards in the wind.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This reminds me that Miami has pumps running 24 hours a day to keep it from flooding.

So pumps will become woke soon and then Miami will be underwater.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Today I learned.

They should do what the Dutch did. But I wonder if that's also too woke..?

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh what did the dutch do?

Even before you tell me, I can confirm that anything the Dutch does is too woke for Florida.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

It was something that involved books and science, so yes, it is not something Florida would ever consider. Conservatives despise books and science.
