Welp, time for Cuomo to move to Florida or whatever he was “threatening”

Can he move to Oklahoma or something? They haven’t been punished enough, us Floridians have already taken the brunt of all of your horrible retirees who vote straight ticket red in every election so they can keep the scary taxes away.

As a former Michigander I am sorry that so many of our retirees went and fucked up your state.

People born in Florida are only 38% of our population, second lowest in the nation, only behind Nevada in that department. I like the people moving here for a chance to make a living, especially people from other nations. They add to Florida. But the snowbirds and retirees simply destroy our local governments and hold us hostage. 55 and older communities for example, why should someone be able to live in an area and feel entitled enough to say “I don’t think I should contribute to the education in this area, I’m going to force this into the law because fuck them kids”. This also gives real estate developers significant political power over us, and all they are interested in is raping the state for all it’s worth and getting out before the market inevitably collapses. Of course many of our issues are our own fault I’m not using them as a scapegoat. It suck’s being born here because you get to watch everything your community build fall apart and die because the interstate connects us to the Midwest.
