The Governor doesn't want to 'jump through ... hoops' to get federal money, such as curbing pollution and looking at road designs that ripped up urban neighborhoods.
Florida Man: “They did this infrastructure bill, and you get the bill and they try to give you money. But then you’ve got to jump through all these hoops,” DeSantis said. “I have to monitor tailpipe emissions for Florida drivers. I am not doing that. I’m not doing the woke roads. I’m not doing any of that.”
These fucking people. Woke just means anything that they don’t like. You could say “radical leftist” roads and it would have the same effect. Also, LOL at the idea of roads chanting “Black Lives Matter”. Let’s actually get on that so the Owen Shroyer’s, the Steve Bannon’s, the Jack Pasobeic’s can all gnash their teeth. Maybe they’ll take the DEI Communist train. At least the ads remind them of capitalism even if they have to sit across from a black guy.
they try to give you money. But then you’ve got to jump through all these hoops
That’s called a transaction, you shriveled potato. They are giving you money to do the thing. Like when I give my landlord money he has to jump through all sorts hoops like “make sure my apartment is habitable”

I don't think that really helps explain anything to psychopaths like DeSantis, TBH. He'd be more like "WTF are you talking about, you pay your landlord because he's entitled to it and you get whatever shithole conditions he deigns to provide."
At times like this, it's fun to replace the word "woke" with "communist" and understand the late 1910s better. 100+ years and all their fear mongering did was change out words.
Jesus H. christ Republicans are just dumb and reactionary. I mean how stupid and cult-minded to associate emissions testing, that other Red as fuck states do, as woke.
When my app listed the top line of this post as "Ron DeSantis rips tailpipe" I imagined him inhaling from the end of a tailpipe like it was a bong. It's the closest I've come to a positive thought about Ron DeSantis in... well, ever.
Ron, you know there's reasons why you should be monitoring emissions...oh, right, you're the anti-science guy in a state that has long been affected by the very thing you don't want to talk about. Dumb ass.
The opposite of woke is still asleep, regardless of its use. Close your eyes, Ron. That'll help.
