""I come from a long line of people who served our country—my grandfather, my father, myself, my husband, and now my son served in the United States Navy. We thought that kind of mattered," she added.

"We thought that we should be able to find a safe place to retire. We thought the federal government and the government of Florida would respect our contributions to this country, and with Florida that has not been the case."

This is so bizarre. Do they not see the countless homeless veterans begging on the streets? Or how the VA is a running joke in the veteran community? If they truly are "patriots," how are they so unaware of the problems their people face, and if they are aware, why do they think they're so special and that these things won't affect them? You have to literally take the grill pill or just be obsessed with culture war shit to not notice these things.

“I’m special, unlike those other stupid morons who deserved it.”

They generally don't notice, or are unable to frame it as a problem that's solvable by anyone besides the people on the streets.

Extremely critical support to the free market for making Florida economically impossible for humans to live in

the Florida real estate industry is a machine turning burrowing owl nesting grounds into boomerbait gated communities where every appliance including the clothes drier is powered by natural gas in the "sunshine state"

Some places see their real estate prices fucked by tech workers. Other places see their real estate prices fucked by every boomer in the entire country (and some outside of it) moving there fully expecting to die before climate change subsumes their gated community into the sea.

The Republican governor has been accused of dragging his feet on the mounting insurance crisis in Florida, with Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost recently accusing him of a "lack of leadership."

Put a cage around Florida and let them fight >:)

American dream

美国梦是个人发财的梦
讲究冒险
通过个人奋斗达到所谓的成功
成为有产者
然后去剥削别人
中国梦是共同富裕
追求的是人民幸福
换句话说
美国梦是个人梦
是为美元的梦
中国梦是人民梦
是为人民服务的梦
这就是二者的本质区别
以后不要在我面前提起美国梦
俗气
