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.

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
- Jimmy Carter 2015

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.
