How about a little less marketing and more for coverage? That's what they are in business for - right?
Does State Farm need to be sponsoring the NBA? Does the All State logo need to be on the nets behind the field goal posts in college football?
How about a little less commercials? We all see plenty of Jake from State Farm... the Liberty EMU... mayhem man from AllState...
Not related, but I also think pharmaceutical companies should STOP advertising prescription meds. MDs/NPs/PAs/etc. prescribe meds based on need, not because someone saw a TV ad and just has to have it.
there have been no confirmed deaths at all when he said that....that was him "guessing"
After Hurricane Ike there were numerous reports of lots of bodies floating in Galveston Bay. Thousands stayed behind to ride out the storm and whole neighborhoods no longer had houses left.
Yet the official reports were very few fatalities.
Not sure what to believe with this. I read 60k stayed behind near the coast in Florida where Ian caused the greatest damage.
I heard the hundreds dead figure isn't true. It was on the news but Desantis so far has said two dead and I think hundreds dead was debunked. Now I am not saying there isn't hundreds dead just those hundreds.
Thanks, I should know better than to trust any early news reporting but since the Sheriff said it I gave it credence.
Hopefully the number remains low but hearing a lot of stories from people that hunkered down and road it out is making me nervous.
And yet I never heard of DeSantis saying a word about the millions of Hurricane Michael relief funds stolen by local government officials- many of who have gone to jail for the fraud- as Panama City residents that were supposed to be helped by them were left homeless with a debris-filled lot where their homes used to be.
But then Panama City politics are dominated by Republicans and he’s not going to call out his own.
Just did a quick google and he suspended the Mayor in one article.
You might want to create a stronger argument than "I never heard" and then try to leverage that by an act of omniscience into reality.
PANAMA CITY — GAC Contractors, a local company whose top executives include former House Speaker Allan Bense, bilked “millions of dollars” from local governments in 2018 when it was contracted to clean up debris caused by Hurricane Michael, newly released court documents from an ongoing federal investigation show.
There seem to be multiple investigations going on at once. Panama City is bordered by other smaller cities, so a bunch of the articles are labeled as "Panama City" but are talking about Lynn Haven, Springfield and Parker( among others)
business leaders, state senators, city managers, and mayors from all of these municipalities are under investigation for fraud.
The universe always has a way of showing how minuscule and worthless we really are
Honestly with the way this climate change is going I wouldn’t want to live anywhere near water at this point
