I seriously hope they pass this. And then I want to see them start using it against airlines.

Conservatives seem to think all contrails are "chemtrails"
Florida's tourist economy is going to collapse when no one can fly there unless they're in a prop plane.
I'm happy for them though, they've really earned it.

Props can have contrails, too. Just can't fly anymore.

You could keep flying any plane, but they would be capped at a 20,000ish feet flight ceiling while in Florida airspace. Which would make traffic a lot worse and the flights significantly more expensive.

And prop planes are awful to ride in cause it's so god damn loud!

Would be beneficial for the climate and the boat companies.

Chemtrails are hardly a political thing, c'mon. Though being uneducated and thinking science is akin to religion is a conservative thing.

And crop dusting, ffs. Spraying actual chemicals on our food is totally fine for these people.
