Never forget, the inept mayor from Jaws is still the mayor in Jaws II.
People don’t always appreciate how important it is to appoint competent leaders in local elections.

Oof. Looked up the quote from that scene. I hate this timeline.
Hooper : Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It’s really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that’s all. Now, why don’t you take a long, close look at this sign. [refers to billboard graffiti] Those proportions are correct.
Mayor Vaughn : Love to prove that, wouldn’t ya? Get your name into the National Geographic.

Everyone in favor of letting Florida commit harakiri, raise their hands?

Isn’t it odd how the only Black commissioner (at least, out of those present) is the one who “just needs to calm down”?

In another thread there’s someone claiming that the real reason is that the kids are horny and that that is a force that no political entity can resist without resorting to guns.

Right?!?
And he’s the “disrespectful” one?
Honestly, this seems like a completely reasonable situation to be angry about.

This all makes sense when you realize that the goals are to spread the disease to more people and to increase the level of poverty and chaos as much as possible.

All the service employees will catch covid-19 from the asymptomatic and very stupid partiers.
Some of them will show symptoms- but they will be poorer. Probably without insurance or the ability to take time off. Even if Florida had enough testing kits, most of the service employees won’t go to the doctor. A small spike in hospital admissions. Then then service employees will serve other people, elderly people. Who will pass it along to all their friends. Then the hospital admissions will hit the roof. There won’t be enough beds or ventilators.
I’m guessing two months, maybe 3 and half of Florida’s tax base is dead.
The governor should go over the heads of every municipality and call in the national guard to close every beach.

In two weeks, Florida will be ablaze with coronavirus, and somehow, it will still be Obama’s fault.

On the plus side, the city commission will shortly have room for “youthful exuberance”.

Probably some of them are the same people. I have to say if I were a 25 year old grocery worker who had to check out hundreds of panicking 40 year olds trying to stockpile TP and canned food every day while my employer couldn’t even provide reasonable safety measures but then was told that I can’t go hang out with anyone after my shift but have to go back and hide in my apartment alone with no usable outdoor space in order to protect ungrateful boomers who haven’t done dick about global warming? I’d be fucking partying too.

I will not send Commissioner Omari Hardy off to the seas with these shits.
We will hold onto Florida because Commissioner Omari Hardy calls it home.
That is enough for me to call it valuable.

No. And even if you are, a pandemic doesn’t care about state lines, so not only am I not in favor of you letting them screw their own population, I’m also not in favor of you letting them screw the rest of us and even yourself.

Floridians aren’t the only ones endangering the population. There’s a group of men here in my neighborhood in Tijuana whom I call the Loud Neighbors, who won’t let anything stand in their way of drinking and partying on the weekend. No respect for other neighbors, no respect for the noise ordinance, no respect for COVID-19. I’m amazed not one has gotten sick yet.
