  1. I'm sick of seeing her with her head down the entire time and reading all of her answers out of a binder.

  2.  @boomer3150  yep, I’ve noticed that too. They say blinking is a sign of lying or deception, well this woman presents a case study in body language

  3.  @sultanofswat9382  yeah, Florida is a real model of prosperity. Lots of people making $10/hour working in Publix or retail. But hey, who needs money when you've got warm winters and no state income tax. Yaaaaaaay.

  4. I prefer Greg Abbott over your DeSantis. Texas economically is doing way better than Florida.

  5.  @Mister8224  I’ve lived there (twice!) so yeah, sorry if my facts are inconvenient for you to hear

  6.  @briandavis676  sure, come be a part of Florida’s prosperity with your $9/hour , 25-hour-a-week job at Publix. But hey, the winters are warm and no state income tax, yaaaaaaay!

  7.  @Mister8224  well for one thing, 1 out of every 4 Floridians is over the age of 65, and people in this age group spend very little money on anything other than groceries and medications. You’re never gonna have much of an economy with that kind of demographic. I love seeing Floridians thumping their chests about the fact that their state has no income tax when this simply means that the state has to make up for the shortfall by scaling back on social services and/or taxing you in other areas, such as property taxes. Which is why Florida has more miles of toll road than any other state in the country. Why should we pay for our own roads when we can just let Tommy the Tourist do it? Wages are much lower in Florida than elsewhere in the country, and this is due to a phenomenon called the “sunshine tax” which simply means that people tend to settle for lower salaries to live in a place that’s warm. Don’t believe me? Try a little experiment for yourself. Go talk to five of your friends and ask them would they rather accept a $40,000/year job in Miami or a $70,000/year job in Minneapolis, and see what they say. The other thing that accounts for low wages in Florida is the fact that the state’s entire economy revolves around tourism, and this does nothing other than generate low wage jobs in the service industry (retail and hospitality). So yeah, there are jobs in Florida all right…wanna be a cashier in Target or Kohl’s? Wanna be a housekeeper at the Days Inn for $10/hour? Hey after a few years you can even become a housekeeping supervisor and then you’ll earn a salary of $11/hour! And remember…warm winters and no state income tax, yaaaaay. No you’re wrong Sean, I’ve lived in Florida a long time and I make a ton of money. Why, I’ve got so much money that I wipe my butt with $100 bills! And everywhere I look here in Florida, everybody is rich and has fancy cars and fancy houses. So you’re WRONG Sean!

  9.  @Mister8224  it doesn’t matter what type of profession you are in. You will ALWAYS earn less in Florida than you would in most other states for similar work, due to the sunshine tax. I get what Florida employers are doing. When you have a saturated labor pool, why should you offer a higher wage to someone who would be willing to work for less just to be able to live in a place with warm winters. I moved OUT of Florida and financially I am doing much better ever since.

  10. @Flying Eagle news flash: I work 45-50 hours a week (in addition to taking two courses). So why did you make the assumption that I don’t? Are you just dense? I have no children which means I’m paying property taxes to pay for schools and teachers even though I don’t have a kid going to school. So tell me why you made the assumption I don’t work? If you have the guts to muster a response.
