The fascist Ron DeSantis would be an unmitigated disaster as President.
Why the fuck do I always end up in the stupidest place to live
Minnesota is cold in the winter, but the people are nice, the scenery is beautiful, and the politics is palatable. Just sayin'.
You could always be here in Texas. We're working on becoming Florida.
Lived there in 2006 - 2007 for the Air Force, San Antonio and Wichita Falls holler
At least we have the Sunrail...
Why it doesn't run on the weekend is beyond me but, w.e.
FL is the sewer of the country. All the scum that live there are the floating pieces of shit.
Not too long ago Florida was a purple state. It may be again someday. Don't write off the hard working victims of the very slight, but very vocal, majority.
Fuck FL. My mother & sister live in Hudson. I know people in other spots. All fucking morons.
Removed. Be civil.
CPI is a better indicator for anyone who isn't living on trust fund growth, and that shit is up 12.3% since July 2021 nationwide.
18.3% since 2020.

That's unsurprising given how much of inflation was driven by food and energy costs. More info here for those who want to know more about the difference between these related metrics.
“Florida’s inflation rates are skyrocketing and the state now leads the nation thanks mostly to the rising cost of housing,” NBC Miami reports Wednesday.
In fact, many reports point to housing prices, which shot up 55% in Florida since the start of the pandemic, compared to 40% nationwide, CBS noted.
Makes you wonder why people keep moving to Florida.
A few reasons. I've lived in Florida nearly all my life. Only thing I can warn people is that Florida changes more than the weather. Crime doesn't sleep but our government sure does. So we're usually the proving ground for crazy ideologies.
Nearly 1.7 million homes in Florida have no occupants because companies can claim tax credits on empty homes they could not rent out for the year. So they can claim amazing returns from investments, and claim tax credits on their returns because they couldn't rent out the overpriced homes. It's government welfare for landlords.
- People are fleeing Florida
It's bad. how bad will take time to tell. The stores are closing down, the leasing signs are coming up, and people in charge are pretending that they are winning because DeSantis is on the ballot.

To own the libs by losing your uninsurable belongings/assets and going broke from out of control inflation - duh.
Marketwatch notes that “the rate of inflation in the Tampa Bay region was the highest in the country. Prices rose an estimated 7.3% from June 2022 to June 2023, well above the 3% rate for the nation as a whole.”
Last month as well, inflation was huge across much of Florida.
“Residents in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area saw prices shoot up 9% in May compared with a year earlier. By comparison, nationwide inflation for the same period was less than half that rate, with prices rising 4% in May compared with a year earlier,” CBS News reported on Tuesday. “People living in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater area have it slightly easier, with inflation rising at a 7.3% annual pace, but that’s still much higher than the U.S. as a whole.”
Why?

Destroying his state's economy to throw off the national curve and own the libs? Either way, bold move, Cotton. How's that working out?
Among GOP voters, DeSantis is now at just 17%, which matches his all-time low says Morning Consult. He “is losing ground to Biden: DeSantis trails Biden by 5 percentage points in a hypothetical general election match-up, and hasn’t outperformed the incumbent since March.” source
Oh, I see.
If I'm not mistaken, DeSantis is out at Florida no matter what because of term limits for the governor. So I am not surprised to see slipping poll numbers for favorability. I am shocked to see him diving below the margin for error beneath a democrat in a presidential toss up poll though!!

The margin of error for that poll is significantly <5% for the Biden face-off:
Latest survey conducted July 7-9, 2023, among representative samples of roughly 6,000 registered voters, with an unweighted margin of error of +/-1 percentage points.
To be honest Florida has been a shit hole for the longest time. You basically have to ignore the problems in order to ever come to the conclusion that is where you want to live.
