I suppose you could, if you have a couple links explaining it, otherwise you're just proving the previous comments point.

We do not have income tax. What about that do you not understand? You have no sales tax. We have no income tax. Sales tax hurts poor people. Property taxes often also hurt poor people.

It is, at least within my community! In the panhandle, we deal with kudzu and coral adasia a LOT! I know south Florida has pothos all over the place. I’m not positive on any regulations and laws, but within the scope of my job I’ve only seen native plants being scheduled for State landscaping jobs. Additionally, FSU ‘s lands and grounds are sustainably planted, using as many native plants as possible and protecting wildlife and pollinators!

UF/IFAS runs this program that provides expertise on local plants (this link is specific to invasive species information). My mom sends me info for my garden and hers every year! It’s a super helpful resource. There are also programs throughout the state dedicated to habitat restoration, like FNPS.

So you're not aware that the average size of parking spots has been increasing over time due almost entirely to the increasing size of pickup trucks? Sure, my car takes up one parking space like a truck would. But if you built a parking lot based on the size of my car it would take up substantially less space than a lot for an equivalent number of trucks.

I'm not dumb enough to pretend that a country that's spent almost a century building infrastructure around cars as the top priority over bikes and pedestrians is going to function okay if we suddenly went car free. But to act like the arms race of increasing truck size isn't causing measurable impact on construction practices and the environment is naive.

I 100% agree with you that it is far from the only reason, and honestly it's not the biggest priority if you're trying to enact changes in policy help the environment. But if you drive one of those trucks, don't come at me with some bullshit about how much you care about the environment, because your actions are 100% opposed to that.

Wise cat escapes Florida.

Lived in Pinellas for 7 years, glad to see this.

1 truck takes as many parking spots as any other car. You're arguing against all cars but hate trucks specifically because they have more than you. Make a anti car argument rather than a anti truck argument.

Regardless, cars are great. They give a personal freedom that public transportation is incapable of providing.

Why do you think they're bulldozing forests? Could it have anything to do with needing more roads and larger parking lots for increasingly large vehicles? If people buying those trucks legitimately cared about the environment, they would realize that their consumer spending is the driving force of all those companies you claim to hate so much.

Yeah, it's pretty clear from your responses that I'm definitely making the right call in getting them educated literally anywhere else. As someone who actually took AP African American history, I assure you nothing like that is part of the curriculum. Convenient you ignored the part about books being taken out of libraries, but I guess that's a bit harder to wave off with casual racism.

Once, my wife was playing 200cc trying to get all gold trophies.

She got blue shelled 10m from the finish line just like in the memes, and proceeded to jump up on the couch screaming “SUCK MY HAIRY DIIIIICK”.

I was under the impression that it was Gladys’ wish to not develop the land. Maybe by “family” you mean the Douglass part of her name, but at least let it be Gladys’. I see a lot of myself in this woman.

Now do Atlanta!

Yes, lifted trucks are what bulldozes forests. Those trucks getting are soooo much worse than corporations dumping their shit into our air and water

4/5th the pay too?

This was all for the monkeys and their habitat

I too agree, North Jersey is the superior Jersey.

Reddit hyperbole at it's finest. They still teach black history here. Just not the "your white classmates are evil oppressors and you should hate them" variety. But hey if that's what you want your kids to deal with.

I just moved to the border of Clearwater and Dunedin and I’m excited to check this place out

Even the scallop poachers are oddly defensive about OTHER people fucking around with Florida's wild bits. I say this as someone born and raised in Central Florida in the late 70s. Our neighbors would go away with their scuba gear and boat for a weekend and come back with a cooler or two filled with illegal/off season seafood and stories about starting fights with boaters speeding through the shallows (that's how you hit/kill manatees)

What's this? A republican pretending their leaders aren't destroying education, the economy, and the environment? What a shock!

He said Floridians, not snowbird transplants

That’s probably true and such a shame. It’s a beautiful state, but it’s crazy it’s becoming south Jersey.
