Framing it as "losing $218M" makes sense in highlighting the massive expenditure, but was there ever a scenario where Floridians won? Was this going to generate revenue? Floridians were robbed. Someone made off with those funds, which could have been used for so many good things other than cruelty.

Florida’s citizens have lost $218M for nothing.

But they can't afford to give their state employees more than a 2% raise this year despite the crazy inflation. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
