Millions without power as Milton churns across Florida
October 10, 20243:26 AM ET
“There’s no need for those people to endanger the rest of us”, California
Governor Gavin Noisome, in Florida for a campaign tour, told FWIW’s environmental correspondent William Nye. In an exclusive interview,
granted while exhausted aides took a break from pushing the Gov’s Tesla towards what was rumored to be a still-working charging station five miles away, the governor expounded.
Noisome, whose ban on small generators has drawn praise and hosannahs from Mother Gia worshippers around the world, continued: “These morons should have installed solar panels on their roofs, and then they’d have found plenty of abundant, free energy ready and waiting for them when they came home and set about rebuilding. Well, that’s if they could find their roofs — I understand there’s some issue there.” [“Roof of Tropicana Field, home
of MLB’s Tampa Rays, ripped off by Hurricane Milton”].
“As for those who still have homes but no power, well, why should they be entitled to release greenhouse gases, when residents of my own state are forbidden to? We live in the same world, and Floridians can just join us
in our sacrifices to save it. No air conditioning, and they’re getting a little warm? Aw, poor babies — we’ll be banning a/c for all the Little People soon, so these suckers can just start getting used to it a little early. No refrigeration to keep food from spoiling? That’s what canned tuna’s for — suck it up, Buttercup.”
The Governor abruptly ended the interview there, and motioned his aides to resume pushing. “Don’t forget to vote for me in ‘28!” he shouted to a small crowd of seemingly-grumpy onlookers as he was rolled away.
