Florida is planning to end all vaccination requirements in the state, including requirements for school children to get routine childhood vaccinations that protect them and their communities from severe and life-threatening diseases, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis (whooping cough), diphtheria, measles, tetanus, RSV, and polio.

Tourism in Florida has been breaking records the past few years. Even with the crazy mistreatment of foreign nationals the foreign tourism is up.

I hate the politicians in Florida. I despise the magats that fester here, but the weather is nice and I like Gulf of Mexico for fishing and beaches.

Middle-aged people remember when Florida was a swing state. I remember the hanging chad. It can be that way again. Climate change may wreck things before then but I'll be here watching it burn for at least a little while longer.
