Jesus fucking Christ Almighty Lord above these people are fucking dumber than god damn bricks.
Florida is also the place where a court decided that residents don't have a right to clean water.
meth is in the air, and water.
Republic of Gators, Delusion and Freedom, where they've persecuted immigrants so hard they're "easing" their child labor laws.
In 1996 a cropduster was an American hero. Thirty years later, he’d be arrested for terrorism just doing his job.
We learned a lot from the green revolution.
We should be arresting people for spraying chemicals that cause health issues in farm workers.
Condensation trails are not caused by spraying harmful chemicals.
Bro, that's like middle school science
Any middle school subject can be a high school subject if enough people fail at grasping the basics.
Sometimes it can even be a college course. I remember my first year in uni our TA had to explain how long division and unit conversion worked and I was like how tf y'all got into engineering school without basic middle school mathematics knowledge.
I was prepared for it to be lib arts or humanities, not engineering
I mean I live in country with a kinda failed education system.
It doesn't surprise me for college level students to not know it, but for college students in a math heavy field to not know it. Both in terms of how do they pass an entrance exam for that program, as well as how does someone that is bad in a subject decide that is the career they want?
Entrance exams aren't actually that common here but they do exist admission is mostly based on GPA and final grades in highschool. What amazes me isn't the lack of basic knowledge (in such an education system) or getting accepted, but rather the decision to choose this professional/academic path when you lack the interest in it.
People are actually uninterested and treating college as if they're prisoners here. I know some people are only thinking about the potentially higher income in these fields or the social status (engineers and doctors are thought of highly in some countries). A not insignificant amount of students here are forced to study what their parents have chosen for them. I believe we have a corrupt system in all areas (political, social, educational) and the economical situation isn't helping.
Usually these kids in my opinion don't realise that they need to change something till very late in there lives. This matter isn't a problem but rather a symptom of bigger problems here.
P.S: I'm very sorry for the long rant I got kinda carried away lol.
Is it also illegal for me to levitate? Or to move objects with my mind?
Well, cloud seeding is a real thing, but it's not a thing the US does, as far as I know.
I'm pretty sure there are a handful of states that cloud seed. It has nothing to do with the imaginary chem trails though.
Thing that doesn't happen is now illegal, got it. Glad to see Florida tackling the big problems facing its citizens.
I want them to pass this.
It would be interesting how they would enforce it.
Would they ban all planes? Or maybe just ignore the law? Or maybe start saying "these are not chemtrails, these are contrails, those are ok".
If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.
Goodbye florida airports, I guess.
I would normally agree with you but… this is legitimately something the constituents want. They are scared of the chem trails. Regardless that they aren’t real. To the voters it looks like the politicians are stepping up and doing what needs to be done.
It’s kinda terrifying.
Wait till you see what Florida has banned for gay folks on the basis of "things that dont happen"
I think Canada issued a travel advisory telling their queer citizens not to travel to Florida, due to the high risks
See's man made cloud due to the action of cold metal ripping through the sky "ZOMG ITS TEH LIBS POISONING MY AIR" jumps in vehicle modified to spew toxic pitch black clouds at the push of a button and drunkenly crashes into the preschool "THIS AIN'T MY FAULT!"
It's not illegal it just costs $10,000 (via a fine) to chemtrail people into gayness.
Money well spent.
In the right location, that's like $1 per new gay. Those are good rates
"I have a problem with people spraying perfume around me sometimes, don't you have a problem with people spraying things into the atmosphere that really have no type of empirical data, that you just don't know who they are or what they're doing?" said Sen. Ileana Garcia, R-Coral Gables, the bill's sponsor, on Thursday morning.
Suddenly no longer a climate change denier.
The difference being we do know who they are and why they're doing it, it's just our leaders aren't doing enough to stop them because of "The Economy".
I seriously hope they pass this. And then I want to see them start using it against airlines.
Conservatives seem to think all contrails are "chemtrails"
Florida's tourist economy is going to collapse when no one can fly there unless they're in a prop plane.
I'm happy for them though, they've really earned it.
Props can have contrails, too. Just can't fly anymore.
You could keep flying any plane, but they would be capped at a 20,000ish feet flight ceiling while in Florida airspace. Which would make traffic a lot worse and the flights significantly more expensive.
And crop dusting, ffs. Spraying actual chemicals on our food is totally fine for these people.
Alternatively phrased: Florida proposes ban on planes from flying in or over it.
That would be some incredible malicious compliance. “We couldn’t make sure our planes didn’t leave ‘chem trails,’ so we just don’t fly to your state anymore.”
If any state in America needed to be declared a no-fly zone…
Only prop planes allowed
Or they could ban condensation I suppose
It can happen on props as well, just not as likely.
Everyday I think I've heard the stupidest thing come out of the US, and they somehow trump it the very next day. Remarkable.
Please don't judge us all by Florida's actions. In turn, we won't judge you by the dumbest 0.1% of your country's population.
I think this is a really shitty bill, but not for the reasons people are assuming. The actual wording is against cloud seeding, but DeSantis is trying to win over his crazies by implying it's for "chemtrails." We're kind of falling for it too here.
"Geoengineering and Weather Modification Activities" (SB 56), prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance or an apparatus into the atmosphere in Florida to affect the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight. It was OK'd 28–9.

Huh, this makes the internal combustion engine illegal.
Water is a chemical. Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces water, water when dispersed into the atmosphere creates clouds. Clouds affect the temperature, weather, climate and intensity of sunlight. QED any burning of hydrocarbons is illegal.
Sweet Sweet Florida. They sure do make them dumb down there.
Given the education reforms, that's the idea.
you might as well go right out and say that having an education higher than a 5th grader should also be banned.
This is what they're doing? Friggin' idiots! Why don't they tackle the real problems?!
It is still perfectly legal to be a werewolf!
