Florida

sucks.  Really.

If you're not white, not rich and not super healthy I would think twice about even visiting. 

Our roads are a shambles and we don't care.

Our hospitals are closing and we don't care.

Our State Agencies offer paycheck deductions for your PayDay Loan obligations - and call it a "benefit" - and we don't care.

Our natural resources are going to be drilled and spilled into oblivion and we don't care.

Our gigantic state workforce votes for Tea Party Candidates who want "smaller government" and we don't care (about the irony).

And it rains a lot.
And there are hurricanes.
And snakes.
And alligators.

Really, don't come.

  1. Yeah. My mom moved down there this summer (who moves to Florida in the SUMMER?). Its charms have eluded her so far.

    Sorry.

    (But it's good to hear from you again!)

  3. Tia - I totally want to move next door to you. Okay?

    Keifus - I saw that on your blog! I laughed, I cried, I sent it to everyone I know. We are SO screwed.

  4. You know, you've pretty much summarized my views on your state. Except for Key West, which I love.
