One of many reasons.

They are better. That is the depressing part.

It makes me nauseous.

NY (city) is an international travel hub. Florida is a domestic ignorance hub.

Just fyi. NY received Covid from Europe. The West Coast, from Asia.

Ron DeSantis? I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you.

The scent of smug over-confidence.

Yes you do, it was my 1st time to the Atlantic and Florida. I had a GF at the time that got a deal threw her hospital friends and next thing I knew we were flying over the Gulf and right over the Big Sombrero. It was football season and Tampa Bay was sold out so we drove all the way to Jacksonville. No stretching of the truth here, that was the rowdiest crowd I've ever been around.

They will pick the bully over the intellectual every time. Starting with high school.

Geez - don't you guys get tired of posting this false narrative without providing context? In the early days of the pandemic NY and NJ were ground zero. There was a massive effort to increase hospital bed capacity to treat acute care COVID-19 patients. Moving individuals to nursing homes was done to alleviate the crush of patients that were being encountered in the Tri-State area and the need for acute care beds.

Yes - this was an executive decision that was made to deal with an completely unknown situation. Posting this at every turn on the internet doesn't absolve Dear Leader in his abysmal handling and the deaths of 150K due to his administration's mismanagement of everything.

I feel dumb that I used to think things would be better once high school was over.

Knew him in the biblical sense?

Maybe Trump really is a Democrat! Maybe we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude for finally putting the stake through the heart of the GOP and killing the vampire that was sucking us all dry.
