Meanwhile, crops rot on the vine, food prices will rise, farms will go bankrupt. real estate is nose diving, and Florida continues to fall further into the bottom third of states in every ranking that counts.
By no measure is it a ‘minor jolt’, and that statement reveals your complete ignorance of the magnitude of the situation. We’re talking almost the ENTIRE FLORIDA CITRUS CROP - there’s no one to harvest it. You think they’re going to somehow raise wages and magically workers willing to do that work will appear? /facepalm
That’s nice to say, but divorced from real-world reality. I think you should tell that to the rest of the GOP who support corporate welfare by failing to raise the minimum wage. Walmart wouldn’t exist if they paid a “fair wage” and every time it comes up to force a fair wage? It gets blocked because it would hurt businesses. So which is it?
DeSantis just shot the citrus industry and construction industry in the head with both barrels. It’s short-sighted and foolish, and they’re already panicking based on their statements. An intelligent, reasoned administration would have identified that it was a bad idea to, you know, kill the citrus industry. It would proposed and passed a comprehensive multi-year plan to phase out immigrant labor and potentially worked with the federal government to create work program visas like they do out west. Did they do that? No. Why? Because they’re idiots.

If companies can’t pay a fair wage, they shouldn’t stay in business.
