1. Future of Florida.

Hate migrants who can build stuff. And if you don't get serious about climate change, kiss your home investment goodbye....the insurance will kill the Florida economy.

2. I've thought about that, we have "snowbirds" here who leave about now for the winter

Obviously, mostly retirees. And other than Vermont and New Jersey, I see more Florida license plates here than from anywhere else. Sure hope they put it off this year... Florida has to be the most vulnerable state, exposed on all sides.

3. The idea of Florida will be fucked if they continue to elect climate deniers....aka Republican Party

4. I ran into a former coworker yesterday who said he now goes to Florida

I said that I hoped he wasn't going there now! And he said they're waiting till January. But the majority of our conversation was him blasting Stefanik and TFG - I didn't dare bring up DeSantis!
