    As a Pasco county alumni, I think we should drop the people who want to drain the everglades off in the everglades and leave them in there until they gain an appreciation for the scenery.

    Until the scenery gains an appreciation for them, you might say.

    Do we really want to introduce more invasive species into the Everglades?

    The Everglades will continue until morale improves!

    We ought to balance it out by doing something comparable to the people who simp for heavy handed regulations in areas that have already been build up and altered greatly by humans.

    Isn't that "The Pasco Promise"?

    It’s true. I was more expressing a sentiment than suggesting a course of political or legislative action. I await my punishment.

    Not sure is that would work, as @fishinggarrett will yoink them for being an invasive species.

    The python hunters of Florida do all the heavy lifting for this joke.

    If you're not aware, python hunting is a state funded industry with the stated goal of controlling the spread of the invasive species in the Everglades. It has done very little to slow the growth of the python population in Florida but has created a demand for new roads and service buildings. Most python hunters farm overflow areas near roads, canals and flood gates, avoiding nests.
