W the actual F is a "scientific insider like Fauci" and how in holy hell did that idiot phrase get printed in the New Yorker? Do you mean ... a SCIENTIST

Just another afternoon thinking about how Florida doesn’t have a state labor department (because Jeb Bush abolished it) and how the state’s minimum wage is basically left up to an honor system because the state takes little action to enforce it. www.orlandoweekly.com/news/florida...
Florida lawmakers ignore attempt to reestablish a state labor department to take on wage theft — again
