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.

And insurance companies are fleeing because of global climate change.

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.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

The people who matter to the Florida Fascists all have investments in other states and countries. They aren't dependent on the local economy prospering; and they benefit from keeping state and local taxes low.

They can import doctors and other skilled laborers from overseas. Then by eliminating birthright citizenship and restricting naturalization, they can ensure that those skilled laborers' children will not become citizens. Uppity immigrants will be stuffed in a box and mailed to California.

By destroying public education, they ensure that those skilled laborers (and everyone else) must pay far-right private schools to educate their children. Only far-right schools and teachers will be permitted to operate; all others will be prosecuted as "groomers" and/or just lynched by outraged "mothers' groups".

Crime is very good for fascists; it keeps rich people scared of poor people, and thus willing to support politicized-militarized police violence, private militias, etc.


The goal is to replicate a fascist social structure, which is a parody of a traditional conservative social structure — with the aristocracy replaced by the loyal Party elite; church replaced with Party rallies; and multigenerational family replaced with atomized nuclear families whose man-of-the-house must be tested for Party loyalty. These all stand above the racial underclass — who do the doctoring, landscaping, and cocaine importing, and who don't get to do things like vote, question the police, or get their rape kits tested.

Being a trad dad isn't enough, men; if you tolerate political dissent among your children, they will be taken away from you and given to a Party-loyal abuser. Today it's your trans kid; tomorrow it's your teenager who's a Greta Thunberg fan. Permitting your daughter to attend an illegal protest is proof that you're a bad father — so you go to prison for child abuse, and she goes to the basement of some Gaetz-lookin' dude who attends Party rallies every Sunday with his terrified wife.
