DeSATAN.

I had in motion plans to depart the State of Florida before Covid hit.  My motivation was that there is a "Florida Tax" in the form of exposure to hurricanes and, if you're not really enjoying the beach there's no reason to pay it.

Compounding that was what I had repeatedly seen with my own eyes -- it was not an "anecdote" -- on contractor and other fraud within the State.  Uninsured motorists were never arrested, especially if illegal aliens, and as a result UIM car insurance was ridiculously expensive and getting more-so.  Due to the prevalence of contractor frauds with regard to construction standards and similar -- and the outright complicity of the county inspectors, one of whom literally did a drive-by inspection on permitted work on my house and it was done wrong but of course not flagged, homeowners insurance was ridiculous and getting worse.  Every storm laid this bare when someone who had a "new roof" put on, or had a new house that allegedly was built to modern codes, was stripped by said storm and the alleged "secondary barrier" was not there and in some cases even the hurricane clips weren't.

Everyone in the State pays for those frauds.  Since the only people who can bring criminal charges are the cops, and they never do, that is effectively endorsed criminality -- the "private parties" commit the crimes and the government doesn't give a crap, endorsing it and of course then claims that as GDP and loves it in that it generates sales taxes and more.

What has been done about this?  Nothing, and spare me the "oh he was too new then" garbage with DeSantis because he's had plenty of time now, hasn't he, to start throwing people in prison!

But there was also this other factor too, which has a relatively new article but the law in question is 30 years old and, as my daughter aged out of the bracket where she could go after someone it was definitely time to leave because if that had ever impacted me personally I would have run the scoreboard and started with every single medical person even tangentially responsible and continued onward until someone shot me.

It's known as the "free kill" law and yes, its as bad as you think it is.

It was routinely exploited over the last three years, and probably is still being exploited today if you happen to get the Coof.

What it says is that unless you have a spouse, are 25 or less, or have a minor child under 25 nobody else can sue on your behalf for pain and suffering if a medical practice kills you.

Your parents can't, unless you're a child.

Your partner can't, your adult children can't, nobody can.

“Right now, there’s no reason for doctors to do better when they’ve messed up in cases of someone being single, divorced or widowed, and having no minor child.” Davis said. 

That's what your Governor thinks is ok, Florida.

Heh, its just your life, and heh, this just applies more to Seniors than anyone else, doesn't it?

Congratulations on your Rah-rah-rah when it comes to DeSATAN.

Fuck him and his entire false and maliciously so "pro-life" family bullshit.

I'm going to hope there is no election in Nov'2024.

It'd annoy the most number of people... except the half that don't even vote, and it'd be fitting for what is a uniparty nation.

An anecdote about your current state of TN. I spent two weeks this summer in Sevier county where my uncle and cousin have lived for 30 years. We got to discussing all of the new construction and one of my observations was that much of it looked unstable/unsafe to my untrained eye.

My uncle is a builder and indicated that there is a lot of shoddy construction taking place, especially in the rural mountain areas and when inspectors have started to make a fuss, the locals threaten them which essentially permits the shoddy construction to continue.

It would be wise for prospective buyers to hire private inspection of any structure.

Yeah, there were a couple of places that I looked at that were away from the towns in unincorporated areas that had all sorts of shit. I said oh I don't think so.....

Seems there should've been all hell risen when this free kill law was passed. What was going on in FL back in the 1990's and why is this the first I've heard of it?

BTW, no plans to move to the sunshine state. Love visiting but even that I might curtail.

That was a time when people believed doctors were good and pure, and it was also a time where "punitive damage" awards were going apeshit everywhere.

However, mostly deserved.

De Satan has gone full israel-worshipper with the Florida law prohibiting investing any of Florida's funds in a business that participates in the boycott, divest, and sanction movement against israel's continuing ethnic cleansing of Palestine. That's another reason to add to the list for flushing DeSatan. Of course he has a lot of company with just about all of our congress conspiring to break American law by sending aid to a nuclear armed state, israel, in contravention to the US being a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

I get a feeling that law-abiding Americans are becoming less inclined to be so given the widespread display of lawlessness of government at all levels. We may be close to becoming Bosnia or Rwanda.

I'm at "indifference" if someone takes out entire groups right here in America at this point.

That's a decent distance still from "fuck the law if I want to do it I will", but if you're in one of those groups and I see you get fucked I'm offering a toast instead of assistance.

The 80's and 90's was a time when our institutions still "mostly" worked as advertised. Aside from the DtP shot, that led to the NCVIA of 1986, the medicos were mostly not out of a control at that time. I remember lots of debate about lawsuits being totally out of control and the need for tort reform. It was in the 1980's that liability lawsuits largely destroyed general aviation, at least with piston-engine airplanes. I remember this being cited as exhibit A as need for tort reform.

The problem is that our institutions by and large, and the medical establishment in particular, have become completely corrupted since the 1990's.

@Crossthread-It ain't just SENC, bud, it's the whole damned state. I'm in the Piedmont and we've got more construction and landscaping done by Mexicans than you can shake a stick at. I personally know people who employee illegal migrants...cuz, you know, they're cheap and hard workers. Maybe, but as you and Karl point out, how much faith do you have in that new roof the next time (and we're loooong overdue) for the next really bad hurricane?

The insurance costs are literally insane. I recently inherited a mint conditon, 22k original miles '96 Century, listed it as a second car rarely driven, and I'm paying around $500 bucks/yr for that bitch-bare minimum coverage. It's all a racket and eveybody's in on the take.

Cops are disinterested in arresting shoplifters (most especially if you have brown skin) and instead are laser focused on anyone who participates in pro-Palestinian liberation and demands to stop the current slaughter. One of my neighbors is a 26 year old cop. Nice looking, fit guy, but my husband reported today that the guy has aged 10 years and has large bags under his eyes. I know the force is struggling to find recruits, and maybe he looks like shit because he probably got vaxxed (also is in the Army reserve).

Lastly, younger folks (40 and under) are extemely pissed off that rents are insane here and many, especially those 18-26, are living still living at home-46% if reports are correct. Sometimes I just want to throw my hands up and say, "Let this fucker burn!" They're is no voting our way out of this mess and until Boobus Americanus no longer gets his/her free shit or limitless grift, ain't nothing gonna change on this here hill.

I went to a VFW bar just outside San Diego in September to see a friend. While I was there, Ron DeSantis walked in. I was wondering why the bar had suddenly gotten busy.

I had the chance to talk to him briefly. As I shook his hand, I looked directly at him and simply said, "You need to disavow the business closures you mandated early in the pandemic."

He was pretty taken aback because every other person was kissing his ass, and he recoiled a bit/got kind of defensive, and said "We already have -- and furthermore we saved countless lives through our actions in Florida."

That was it, he went on to the next person. He was pouring beers behind the bar. I'd had my fill so I didn't ask him to pour me a beer.

I didn't get a chance to tell him that a true constitutionalist who respects the Bill of Rights simply doesn't do what he did, or that he has a giant hole in his message regarding freedom and his prior actions -- and until and unless he expresses some sort of regret for closing businesses and restricting people's freedom, he's got major issues with true conservative voters -- besides all the stuff Karl has pointed out in this forum.

They are all scum, it's just where they fall on the spectrum of scummiest to lesser scum. I have some respect for Ron Johnson and Rand Paul, but that's about it.

Screw Florida. Glad I left Clearwater in 1997.

So denying a dead victim a proper court appointment to sort out the evidence of possible malpractice or even malfeasance is no longer allowed by law?

This doesn't meet equal protection in my opinion. When human life is concerned since when does anything but the life itself matter? There should be no qualifiers for those that seek justice for victims - especially parents.

Dead is dead. I'm for sponsoring a law making all deaths of medical personnel as an act that bring no charges or inquiries.

Fair is only fair!

This shows the absurdity of the law if the parties were to be reversed.

Satan is indeed Ron's proper family name.

As the late great Ron Smith of WBAL talk show fame use to say, "If voting mattered they wouldn't let us do it." On anything that matters, noting of substance will happen no matter who is elected. The system is too large and too corrupt to fix without a complete collapse.
