Something is wrong over at the @orlandosentinel. The author of this clolumn is neither a Democrat nor a Floridian. And that's just the beginning of it...
"Fraud" isnt a pastry sauce in Belgium. It's a federal statute. I know deliberately lying to people seems convenient and all, but if you're selling subscriptions or using your company as a political vehicle that shit can come back around.
This thread on the fanjuls and sugar farming doesn't even cover a fraction of it, but it's a great primer on how big and prolific of a problem sugar farming in Florida is.
2/ The big three sugar interests in the Everglades Agricultural Area are U.S. Sugar, Florida Crystals, and The Sugar Growers Cooperative. This thread will focus on Florida Crystals which is owned by the #Fanjuls, Pepe and Alfie, who are octogenarian refugees from Cuba.

🧵 1/ Phosphate mining in Florida is a huge problem. Radioactive roads, fish kills, toxic mountains, cancer, and sinkholes...think #PineyPoint. There is ONE major company responsible for almost all of it, which is Mosaic, HQ'd in Tampa.
2/ Phosphate mining is how chemical fertilizer is mass-produced. It involves strip mining the surface of the land, and creating gigantic toxic waste piles called "gyp stacks".
