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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
