<p>Speaking at a news conference in Satellite Beach, Florida, Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis ripped into the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), blasting, “If you look at some of the stuff that they&#8217;ve done on school openings, where they&#8217;re basically doing the teacher&#8217;s union&#8217;s bidding, when they say these kids should be masked in summer camp outdoors. I&#8217;m sorry, that&#8217;s not science, that&#8217;s politics.” He also slammed the CDC for the calamitous effect its policies had caused for Florida&#8217;s massive cruise industry, asserting, “Do you want one unelected bureaucracy to be able to have the power to indefinitely shut down a major industry in this country?”</p>
<p>DeSantis spoke of how keeping Florida open instead of instituting harsh lockdowns had paid dividends, asserting, “You have a surplus of jobs, and particularly in restaurant, lodging, hospitality, that people want to hire. I mean, you see these signs all over the place.  Look, that&#8217;s a good problem to have. But we also just want to make sure, look, if you&#8217;re really unemployed, can&#8217;t get a job, that&#8217;s one thing, but making sure that you&#8217;re doing your due diligence to look for work and making sure those incentives align better.”</p>
