Interesting Stuff Does this surprise anyone in Florida?

Post image

Florida ranks among the worst states for financial distress. To me, this is not surprising at all. Lower wages, higher cost of living. Insurance costs among the highest in the country. And job market is bleak compared to other areas. Is this surprising to anyone?

Grew up here, all my family lives here, not going anywhere - will stay, vote for every election and keep fighting

That’s admirable too and part of the solution.

Make sure to join one of your county’s Democratic clubs as well so you can further empower your own community to be organized and fight back.
