    "“I come from a long line of people who served our country—my grandfather, my father, myself, my husband, and now my son served in the United States Navy. We thought that kind of mattered,” she added.

    “We thought that we should be able to find a safe place to retire. We thought the federal government and the government of Florida would respect our contributions to this country, and with Florida that has not been the case.”

    Me throwing other humans into the bloody gearworks of capital: this shit is awesome hell yeah!

      This is so bizarre. Do they not see the countless homeless veterans begging on the streets? Or how the VA is a running joke in the veteran community? If they truly are “patriots,” how are they so unaware of the problems their people face, and if they are aware, why do they think they’re so special and that these things won’t affect them? You have to literally take the grill pill or just be obsessed with culture war shit to not notice these things.

      the Florida real estate industry is a machine turning burrowing owl nesting grounds into boomerbait gated communities where every appliance including the clothes drier is powered by natural gas in the “sunshine state”

    Some places see their real estate prices fucked by tech workers. Other places see their real estate prices fucked by every boomer in the entire country (and some outside of it) moving there fully expecting to die before climate change subsumes their gated community into the sea.

    The Republican governor has been accused of dragging his feet on the mounting insurance crisis in Florida, with Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost recently accusing him of a “lack of leadership.”

    Put a cage around Florida and let them fight >:)

    American dream

    美国梦是个人发财的梦
    讲究冒险
    通过个人奋斗达到所谓的成功
    成为有产者
    然后去剥削别人
    中国梦是共同富裕
    追求的是人民幸福
    换句话说
    美国梦是个人梦
    是为美元的梦
    中国梦是人民梦
    是为人民服务的梦
    这就是二者的本质区别
    以后不要在我面前提起美国梦
    俗气
