Sure, blame it on the bank. Blame it on whoever you want. Thanks for nothing.

Isn't it weird how the people who say government is incompetent are constantly making harmful mistakes? Almost like they are the problem.

HAH get on my level. My district is $3k behind on my paychecks.
PandaSan
I’m so sorry.

"bank error" as in the state forgot to tell the bank to transfer funds
PandaSan
From Monopoly the bank error was in our favor.

Anyone at all surprised by this? Florida is run by DeSatan afterall...
DrZev
No wonder they call it the F-state!

Isn't deliberately issuing bad checks grounds for fraud?
PunnyTiger
recut those fucking checks with an increase to cover the bounce, then fucking certify them
PoptartSpankySpoogeMonkey
Man, teachers are always getting fucked. No wonder Walter White became a meth dealer.

Lucrative side job

When this came out, Florida was very valuable. Bugs was proving himself as a national menace.

That little celebration dance at the end? He knew what was coming.

Oh no, what a surprise of republican legislation. Who would have seen this coming. Wonka.jpg
CosplayComet
Is this backlash for enforcing mask mandates, or just shitty government. Oh wait, I said the same thing twice...
meme2theextreme
They're the same picture.
TheGifReturns
It's okay. At least you're catching the tautology.
therighteouspath
Really could have just shortened that to “fuck flordia”
CosplayComet
If Florida and Texas had a child, it would look like..... wow, I can't even think of something WORSE than Texas and Florida...

Alabama waits in the darkness to show man how red a redneck can be
PandaSan
Deathsantis is an embarrassment.
CosplayComet
He's more than that, he's literally getting his constituents killed. And it's not even incompetence. He knows what's best, and not doing it
Mentok
What a shithole
alusta
America be like that.
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Morally and financially bankrupt.
V65ozzie
If only there was a law against writing checks on an account with no funds..........
williamrichards
This was an error by the bank. The bank has said it will cover all fees. For once Desantis did nothing wrong

GOP Florida Govenor not the national attention you were hoping for, The state with a higher Covid death rate than others, thoughts & prayer
Insomnia297
I have to keep reminding myself that I don't live in the States anymore, I don't have to get so emotionally involved in how fucked it is.

What the actual F***?! Disgraceful!

This fits in with my opinion of FL government, no surprise here
GrumpyOldMan55
Police got the check. Dispatchers did not.
epicurusaquinas
That's messed up
TyrannusEquus
Current dispatcher can confirm
crossingdynasty
DeSantis is at minimum smart enough to make sure the bribe money for his future PMC is there.
DrKriegersClone
Will, yeah, he can't have his goon squad getting restless next time he needs a statistician who won't lie about covid intimidated.
elleyea
That’s horrible
FrolickingFrolicking
I’m so surprised that the gang of dangerous armed criminals who take politics hostage got their reward and other workers got shafted
ImNotRacistBut
I can't even imagine the crocodiles tears we would get from the police if the teacher's checks cleared and theirs didn't.
ScarySpider
Dispatch in Fort Worth pays less than taco bell, and they wonder why they can't get any workers.
grader1987350
They can afford billboards advertising for positions. Many people around here have called 911 without answer. Been months
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
That's bullshit! Dispatchers are arguably more important than the cops.
RandomTurd
My understanding is it's toxic as fuck there too
notsureofanything
It’s just hard mentally. Talking people through CPR, talking to victims of crime in action, you can’t save everyone
RandomTurd
Oh no, i mean the whole place,, not just the work type
masteryoplait
Damn
masteryoplait
Seriously what’s going on my Texan brothers? I get the allure of small government but there is a bare minimum everyone deserves.
ScarySpider
The lure of small government is a lie. Always has been.
masteryoplait
Also how do you want it in a nation of 350 million & the worlds largest economy.
vicvalour
"911, please hold, your estimated wait time is 23 minutes" wow
ScarySpider
Half the time it's just a recording telling you to call agencies directly via a lost of 10 digit numbers.
Link01
Bouncing a check is illegal in FL, start arresting state officials
bonodono1350
Trusting Santos to fund education? I got some great swamp land over there to sell too. High development potential.
PandaSan
With the anacondas?
Volpe42
So you're selling florida?

This was an error by the bank. The bank has said it will cover all fees. For once Desantis did nothing wrong
supersteve524
They paid $3.6M to a no-bid contractor to send out $1.7M in bonuses? Wow...
MRnBW
This guy IS, in fact, real. And that is the problem.

Of course they actually have to pay a fee too.

Run for office. Cause he is.

If he runs for PRES, he has to step down as gov.

Hell yeah. You could hardly do worse.

That's the same reason my boss gave when he failed to pay me on time. Or cash out my PTO.

Thank you.
SLCtechie
Now charge the state a $35 fee per bounce like the banks do
williamrichards

iusedtodream
Yeah? Fuck Desantis.
MerkinSuit
There's a massive amount of dead people solely because of his words and actions. There no repair, continuing a leadership position is wrong.
williamrichards
There are no dead people SOLELY because of Desantis. Everybody made their choices. And even that has nothing to do with this (non) issue.
iusedtodream
And $60 a day until the funds clear.

Well that’s encouraging! Kinda a weird thing to do purposely, even for him.
