6. We'll see what Rick does when all of South Florida's coastal cities are inundated by rising seas.

Rick Scott, a longtime climate change skeptic, ignored the problem as governor; he didn't want to raise taxes to pay for the needed infrastructure projects. He'll likely be lobbying for federal money before his term is over.

7. Florida is so badly run, the annual hurricanes are not budgeted

A pandemic is a once in a century event. Hurricanes are an annual event.

Florida is proved to be badly managed by the fact that the state ignores known, needed, recurring maintenance.
Capitalism doesn't believe in rainy-day funds, and the rich are 'so fearful' of running out of richness that they willingly sacrifice your children to the god of corporate wealth.

The USA is a rich nation that is full of it...

(thus SCOTUS to 7-2 or 8-1 hard RW,and with a younger RWNJ version of Thomas to boot)

I cannot see the union holding together over the next 15 to 20 years max. Too much Red state/Rump and what comes after dictatorship, gunz/gawd/buybulls, murder, corruption, destruction of most all Brown v Board and after civil rights, economic crackups, and overall mashing and mauling of the Blue Giver States by the thug RW Red Taker States.

The divide is becoming too wide, and its moving into death territory, literally and figuratively.

CA, NY, etc will try and bounce, WA, OR and others too, especially if the RWNJ's try and go all Gilead.

Bad bad bad events to possibly come.

It is all so simple too.

Death cults cause the death of most all they touch if they become too empowered.
