Florida's idea of "economic diversity" -

We have people here with lots of money, a little money, no money, some money, a little more than "some" money. And - all of those people have either lots of expenses, a few expenses, no expenses, some expenses, and a little more than "some" expenses.

Very diverse economy here. Of course - the average and median incomes of blacks are lower than any other racial demographic in the state, with Asians having the highest and whites the second highest. So, among blacks, the overall economy isn't very diverse, because they have - on average - less to earn, and less to spend.

Some people hate when blacks do well because then they can't use them, and control them, just to get their votes.

The NAACP deploys its own form or race baiting to advance its own woke agenda that benefits themselves, but very few others.

The people of the free state of Florida reject exploiting any person, or groups of persons...period.

The NAACP is obsolete, especially here in Florida. Their words are tools of self enrichment, & nothing more.

We see them for what they are.

The law of large numbers. Same reason we have lotto winners despite the astronomical odds of not winning.

South Florida. They spend every last dime they have on beer cigarettes and lottery tickets. The charities are wonderful but they can't differentiate between someone who needs $80 for work boots and someone who will use that $80 to party. And no one has ever heard the word tweaker before. Tweakers are seen as normal and have rights even if they're screaming at the librarian.

Considering the source, I'd opine that all that naysaying is the greatest form of flattery, LOL.

How do you arrive at this conclusion? I heard that Florida is practically the best state right now for small businesses.

Your statements sound cloudy. Is your throwing shade on Florida just due to political beliefs that you cannot put aside?
