Something I always enjoyed on my daily commute home from the chemical plant while working in the Houston area was this one particular subdivision of fairly expensive looking McMansion type houses. On one side of it was a massive tank farm full of giant chemical tanks. On the other sides was a huge freeway. I would wonder to myself - who would possibly want to live in these houses? Also I wondered what the difference in price might between the houses with the tank farm view vs. the freeway view. I'm sure this was only one of many such subdivisions in the area. I'm glad I don't live in Houston anymore.

The miracle having no zoning or city plan like Salt Lake City!

way too little way too late but he can say he did something

lmao it's only for epicenters, not the whole state (SE FL)

Also in his PR he mis-stated the end date would be May 15 not April 15

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241609941.html

quote:


Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Monday morning that those living in Southeast Florida should stay home until mid-May to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. He would sign an executive order, he said, urging those in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe Counties to stay home.

The news spread quickly, as thousands of South Floridians reading online and watching on television mentally prepared to stay indoors — and away from work — for another month and a half. The Republican Party of Florida even issued a statement from Sarasota Sen. Joe Gruters, who doubles as the party chair, noting the mid-May date.

“Gov. DeSantis is resolutely leading the state through the coronavirus outbreak with measured, informed, effective actions to protect the health and rights of Floridians,” he wrote.

In between his 10 a.m. stop at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens and his 1:30 p.m. appearance in Palm Beach County, his schedule showed an 11:30 a.m. conference call with other governors and Vice President Mike Pence.

Then, later at the press conference in Palm Beach County, DeSantis clarified that he meant April 15, not mid-May, for an end date to what he called the “safer at home” order for millions of residents.

When asked why the error wasn’t immediately corrected, a spokeswoman for the governor said neither she nor anyone else caught it, and the end date for the order wasn’t in his notes.

etalian has issued a correction as of 18:36 on Apr 1, 2020

Ok, what's up with those "ventilators" ol' Muskie sent to those hospitals? Are they CPAPs that he bought for show or are they real ventilators? Can someone back this up? My wife is yelling at me for believing fake news for sending her that.

He just placed a order with a legit company.

I'm sure you can still buy them with the right amount of money but it will be probably marked up.
