He has also been very active in keeping businesses open (or letting them re-open quickly) during the [[CCP flu pandemic]], even despite criticism that he was putting his state's large senior population at risk; notably he declared [[professional wrestling]] matches to be "essential businesses" ([[World Wrestling Entertainment]] operates a major training facility in the state, while All Elite Wrestling and [[Impact Wrestling]] -- two other professional wrestling promotions -- are based there).

On May 12, 2021, DeSantis announced that he would be granting pardons to anyone who had been unjustly charged and fined for refusing to wear face masks or social distance in areas of Florida that were imposing unconstitutional [[CCP flu]] edicts.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/05/florida-gov-desantis-pardon-covid-violations-video/ Florida Gov.

Interesting drug importation plan -- for the record, this article says conservatives don't really like it, but I don't know if this means consistent conservatives or just the GOP establishment: [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/florida-gov-ron-desantis-defies-gop-orthodoxy-with-drug-importation-plan] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 09:22, 2 May 2019 (EDT)

== Added college education ==

The article should state this brilliant man went to Harvard and Yale. In general, I think college should be included, especially if it looks good.
