    Hard to post something after that….


    We were chatting to the agent who helped buy our home in Florence Oregon. We’re looking for a friend who wants to live near.
    She said twice this week she’s had clients from Florida and has heard from other agents the same.

    Cheaper homes, no sales tax, laid back living, pretty coast along Hwy101. Gray whales migrating. We’re not fascist (R) free tho but it’s not too bad.
    Scenes like this along the way. With a Sea Lion colony in a cave just behind the photographer.

    After you're well into your second 6-pack of Milwaukee's Best and you're trying to make out what it is in the glow of the taillights of your rusted out Chevy S-10, the unique features start to blur a bit.

    They've seen much worse at home, at least if they moved here after 2020,

    South Americans can't even begin to grasp what a society without corruption could look like, so they're happy just to be here.

    In defense of America, there’s a labor shortage, so one of the possible solutions is to import workers. Same with travelers in healthcare; in my wife’s field, regional colleges cannot graduate enough healthcare professionals for their hospitals, that are now more numerous and are dealing with aging workforces.


    But yeah, it’s fvcked up to an extent that a racist government looks to brown people to solve its problems.

    In defense of? America had an economy that supported manual labor and dumped it in favor of sending labor overseas so the shareholders could make more money. Tech was coming, always is, but it didn't have to be embraced so quickly. America could have figured out what it was going to do with the people who used to work in manufacturing and whatnot BEFORE they started shipping all those jobs elsewhere.

    There's a shortage in nursing (not really "labor" in this country, but a profession- I'm pretty sure you have to go beyond undergrad to do it) because a bunch of potential nurses saw what happens when dumb******** Americans are more worried about kids staying home than they are about a global plague.

    Particularly offensive when they know they're getting brown people who won't see how shitty it is here because they just happen to come from somewhere shittier. What America needs is workers who hate it here and will remind everyone why until America gets it shit together.

    Just want to point out it was corporate America that shipped those jobs overseas. Yeah, govt could have changed the incentives for doing so, but it wasn’t leading the charge.

    Florida man gives sh!t about Florida children:


    https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article262589972.html

    Gwynn, a pediatrician with the University of Miami Health System and president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, is outraged over Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision not to preorder COVID-19 vaccines for children under 5, the only state in the country that has not done so. His decision leaves Florida pediatricians, hospitals and healthcare centers scrambling to obtain the supply on their own, potentially delaying vaccines for tens of thousands of children across the state. “We are devastated,” Gwynn said in an interview with the Herald Thursday. “You know, this goes against all scientific recommendations. We’ve waited for a long time for the data to be made available. And now we know that the vaccine is safe and effective for children under 5.. And to have this happen, without any warning, it’s just unbelievable.”
