How Long Can the State of Florida Sustain the Brain Drain ?

When my kids were in high school, they took advantage of quite a number of AP classes to get a headstart on their college careers.

It seems that the State of Florida does not value the advancement of its high school students in its continuing efforts to cripple the education of its citizens.

"Cohen has been described as a “fixer,” a guy who gets things done, who cleans up messes and who calms the waters in a crisis. But mostly, it seems that Cohen was a lackey.
He wasn’t someone telling Trump hard truths to make sure that he was protected. Cohen was the guy who simply wanted to make sure that Trump was placated. He wanted the boss to be happy. Cohen wasn’t using his clout or connections to turn the tide in Trump’s favor.
He was just another person whose ambitions and self-worth had become intertwined with Trump, someone who as federal investigators closed in on him, as he lied and then lied some more, he had to be reminded by his wife, his daughter and his son that Trump was neither his salvation, nor was he someone worth saving." 2024-05-14 comment

High tech doesn't make as much money as you think.

The biggest money outlay are military contractors and subsidized farming/ construction.

Military will always have money, and farming depends on how far we're willing to make the planet unlivable due to animal agriculture.
