His 2018 primary opponent, Adam Putnam, made an issue of Mr. DeSantis supported an aid package after Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria as places like Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico strained to recover. In 2017, as he was poised to run for governor, Mr. DeSantis of applying this standard selectively. Through the years, critics in both parties have accused Mr. DeSantis was noncommittal, suggesting he would support a responsible plan.
Asked then if he would vote against a relief package that affected his own district, Mr. “I never made the point of saying we shouldn’t do anything,” he said, adding that he could have supported a leaner package focused on immediate relief. DeSantis said the bill contained “extraneous stuff” that could not be classified as emergency spending.
DeSantis, who represented a coastal district in eastern Florida, the vote at once established him as an eager combatant from the party’s ascendant right wing - he was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus - while at times placing him on the defensive back home. DeSantis and Representative Ted Yoho, another hard-line conservative, were the only House members from Florida to oppose the Sandy package. “I doubt he will hold them as strongly in the governor’s mansion.” Jolly, who has been sharply critical of the party in the Trump years. “He held those convictions strong in the House,” said Mr. Jolly said, a governor who self-identifies as unswerving in his principles now finds himself with little choice but to push for storm relief actions “antithetical to his professed ideology.” “Ironically,” said David Jolly, a former Republican congressman from Florida, “there’s nobody in America that Ron DeSantis needs more than Joe Biden.” President,” the governor’s request for a major disaster declaration and federal assistance began on Wednesday. DeSantis has long called “Brandon” as a recurring troll, aimed at the man he might like to succeed. The present circumstances have inspired a less swaggering posture toward a leader whom Mr. Experts say that will make rebuilding harder. Lack of Insurance: In the Florida counties hit hardest by Ian, less than 20 percent of homes had flood insurance, new data show.Now that the costs of Ian are adding up to tens of billions of dollars, they want help from Washington. leaders have opposed federal action on climate change. A Housing Crisis: As the extent of the damage from Ian comes into focus, many in Florida are uncertain of their next chapter, fearing they may become homeless.Many were at least 60, and dozens died by drowning. The Victims: The storm, Florida’s deadliest since 1935, has been linked to the deaths of at least 119 people in the state.“But you know, when people are fighting for their lives, when their whole livelihood is at stake, when they’ve lost everything - if you can’t put politics aside for that, then you’re just not going to be able to.”
CONTEXT DEPENDENT MEMORY FULL
DeSantis, now Florida’s governor, told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, outlining his request for full federal reimbursement up front for 60 days and urging the Biden administration to do the right thing. “As you say, Tucker, we live in a very politicized time,” Mr. DeSantis is appealing to the nation’s better angels - and betting on its short memory. Nearly a decade later, as his state confronts the devastation and costly destruction wrought by Hurricane Ian, Mr. “I sympathize with the victims,” he said. While a seemingly peculiar method to remember your shopping list, time and time again, research has shown that the Method of Loci drastically improves our memory.As a freshman congressman in 2013, Ron DeSantis was unambiguous: A federal bailout for the New York region after Hurricane Sandy was an irresponsible boondoggle, a symbol of the “put it on the credit card mentality” he had come to Washington to oppose. Then, when you need to remember your shopping list, you recall the pattern of your commute and this in turn will help you recall the food products you mentally placed along the way. For example, you might tie “bread” to the park you pass when you leave your house, and “milk” to the stadium you pass further down the road. The Method of Loci involves imagining a familiar journey you take (e.g., the commute to work) and mentally tying or linking items from your shopping list to landmarks on that journey. A powerful technique in this vein is the “ Method of Loci”. But what happens when we can’t match the contexts between learning and memory? What happens when we want to recall a shopping list, where the learning environment is inherently different than the recall environment? Well, we could instead use a “mental” context a context that doesn’t exist in the physical world, but instead sits within our mind.
