I understand his intentions and they are good. But this is just another example of government picking winners and losers. Even though I would fall into the winner’s category if I lived in Florida and needed to buy a stove, I am dead set against this.
I appreciate that sentiment, and if this happened in a vacuum, I would definitely feel as you describe. However, in this instance, DeSantis is only responding to a different government agent, a federal one, the National Product Safety Commission, as mentioned in the article.
So this is a battle between governments, one state, one federal. And in this case, I side with the state.
