Republic of Gators, Delusion and Freedom, where they've persecuted immigrants so hard they're "easing" their child labor laws.
Jesus fucking Christ Almighty Lord above these people are fucking dumber than god damn bricks.
Florida is also the place where a court decided that residents don't have a right to clean water.
meth is in the air, and water.
It's not illegal it just costs $10,000 (via a fine) to chemtrail people into gayness.
Money well spent.
In the right location, that's like $1 per new gay. Those are good rates
you might as well go right out and say that having an education higher than a 5th grader should also be banned.
Is it also illegal for me to levitate? Or to move objects with my mind?
Well, cloud seeding is a real thing, but it's not a thing the US does, as far as I know.
I'm pretty sure there are a handful of states that cloud seed. It has nothing to do with the imaginary chem trails though.
I wonder if they'll outlaw dousing
No more flights to Florida, I guess.
See's man made cloud due to the action of cold metal ripping through the sky "ZOMG ITS TEH LIBS POISONING MY AIR" jumps in vehicle modified to spew toxic pitch black clouds at the push of a button and drunkenly crashes into the preschool "THIS AIN'T MY FAULT!"
Lots of ignorant comments in here. I'm not even an expert, but numerous scientists agree that the long-term effects of cloud seeding, aka "chemtrails" are not entirely known. However, there are known potential downsides, such as increased flooding and environmental pollution (from the silver iodide used to form the clouds). There are also other downsides to it, but I'm not going to dive into all of that because I'm lazy.

In short, banning cloud seeding isn't that bad of an idea. Whether the cons outweigh the pros (increased precipitation is good for farmers/crops), that's a debate worth having among our legislators and the scientific community.
That's not what the chemtrails theory is. Geoengineering is a worthwhile thing to prevent in a precautionary way. But some whacko Florida Man highjacked this bill to ban using contrails as some sort of chemical/biological mass sterilization agent.
The bill literally is about cloud seeding. The politicians marketed it as chemtrail bullshit, but that doesn't change the actual content of the bill.
