Maybe due to more inbreeding?

You can be Patrick Bateman, highly educated, white collar and charmingly disarming in an urban sleek setting. Or like you said economically depressed/podunk areas tend to breed a lot of crazy. Places where most people aren’t very educated, lack of the desire and curiosity for intellectual stimulation and insularity. Insularity brings out a lot of psychological trouble and personality disorder.

Money tends to make people arrogant. Poverty tends to make people angry.

Great post - I could not agree with you anymore!

The crazy angry people here are visitors from out-of-state.

We had 135,000,000 visitors in 2023.

Florida only has 23,000,000 residents.

We get ~6 transient visitors, for each resident.

It's like comparing the people at a motel or apartment complex, to the people in a mature single-family home development where most people know their neighbors.

Transient communities have more crazies than stable communities...its a fact...ask law enforcement.

So, don't blame Floridian's, blame the visitors we kindly host each year. Perhaps we should start doing background checks to keep the crazies out

Most of FL is that anyways.

My question to you is, does the lifestyle of trans/gays, abortion issues, or suppressed American history make a day-to-day difference in your life? Or would perhaps savings in homeowners be more beneficial to you? I will also assume the insurance crisis is more relevant...so why does the Governor and many other Florida residents place such an emphasis on literal nonsense?

In the bolded portion, are you asking me what the solutions should be? If so maybe I should run for Governor especially since it appears the bar is so low.

....and then you gave an imaginary solution... how did I know you would do that?

You have no solutions...nothing, but I do notice the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth you seem to be good at.

I'm affected by most issues, including all that you mentioned and then some. However to your point, I do prioritize, but I tend to look beyond the tactical since I'm strategic by nature.

I do have ideas for potential solutions, well more than Rhonda Santis has at least, but history both here and in my personal life has shown me that debating actual policy with you MAGAs is a complete waste of time. If Congress, those elected as full time politicians can’t get bipartisan policy done, what makes you think I could even convince you of anything?

I honestly believe that MAGA and it’s followers cannot be reasoned nor negotiated with.

So you've reached your intellectual threshold. It's good to know your limitations.

You wish I did fixed income dinosaur - Guaranteed I’ve attended more prestigious universities, obtained more education and have done more federally funded research than you and most of the mental midgets on C-D (all STEM fields).

In fact I currently work on systems you and most people use everyday.

Did you learn what a logical fallacy is? also known as “appeal to authority.” That is text book material.
