> Why Are Retirees Leaving Florida?
Yankee liberal politics in the HOAs.
It's nothing "Florida's" done.
Insurance companies knew what they were getting into when they came here, now,
they're over-charging.
It's still behind California.
Clue to the clueless: it ain't the politics.
People of all ages also have recently packed up and moved out of the Sunshine
State after BACK-TO-BACK STORMS this year.
I've been here since 1965. I KNOW the risks.
People are coming here for the beauty, and finding out you have to PAY for
that beauty.
The tourists gladly hand over their money to stay in places on the coasts.
Look WHERE the people who moved away tried to live.
Guess what, liberal faggots... while it is true that we lost half a million in
2023, we actually GAINED more... 637,000 people moved to the state from across
the country that year too... stupid.
So... net GAIN.
Keep focusing on the negative. That's all you faggots can do.
According to the latest numbers, Florida led the nation with a net income
migration of almost $36.1 billion annually.
According to "U.S. News and World Report," the Chamber said, Florida ranks top
in the nation for higher education and first in four-year college
affordability.
Florida has long been a hotspot for relocation due to its appeal to people
from high-cost states like Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and California.
Historically, Florida remained attractive because, despite rising prices, it
was STILL CHEAPER THAN THESE HIGH-TAX STATES.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and
reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made,
TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. -
that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the
acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of
George W. Bush."
