    Florida is in for a rough time, in the next ten years will have a massive shortage of medical workers, teachers, and professionals. It will be the most uneducated state in the western hemisphere and likely a major center of criminal activity.

            Sadly, though, it will also be free of human habitability.

      They’re also loosing agricultural and construction workers as DeSantis’s anti-immigration policies drives away illegal migrants who filled those positions in under-the-table jobs.

      It will be the most uneducated state

      Alabama and Mississippi will cage-fight Florida for that trophy.

        In ten years I could see all three having very low education rates. Alabama will still have college graduates though, Florida might lose it’s colleges.

      One of my kids is a sophomore in high school (we live in FL unfortunately), she wants to be a vet but we will probably be looking to other states to send her to college. Political climate down here is ridiculous right now.
