Still won't answer any of the questions about the data in Florida. Multiple requests, but silence from you. What are governors around the country doing about the so-called "deadly variant" that makes DeSantis' actions look bad? Anything at all?
So what is the basis for this statement? What is Florida so poor in compared to other states? Don't just post a link - make an argument. Which stat is horrible in Florida vs. other places? I mean, if "Florida is on the lower end middling" whatever that means, you need to clarify what you're referring to.
President Xi says no vaccines for dissidents, wait, hang on. Woopsie. Florida Gov DeSantis says no vaccines for critics. Same thing.
I didn’t say Florida was horrible, just it’s in the lower end of middling in comparison to other states, economically. Economic metrics range from gdp to unemployment. I thought the study I provided was pretty fair actually. Nothing I looked at suggests Florida is booming or doing horrible. It’s just sort of there in the middle. I’m sure you and the area you live is most likely doing well though. Florida is a big state and I’m sure there are a range of differences throughout the state.
This cunt won't learn until they sic the feds on him. Quit playing nice Joe https://www.npr.org/sections/corona...ccused-of-playing-politics-with-covid-vaccine Florida Governor Accused Of 'Playing Politics' With COVID-19 Vaccine In Florida, Democrats are criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who they claim is allowing politics to play a role in COVID-19 vaccine distribution. DeSantis became testy when questioned by reporters at a vaccination event near Lakewood Ranch, an upscale community on Florida's Gulf Coast. The vaccination event was the latest in a series of state-sponsored clinics at retirement communities. Under DeSantis' "Seniors First" initiative, the COVID-19 vaccine is being made available to everyone age 65 and over in Florida — an estimated 4.5 million people. According to the Bradenton Herald, DeSantis reached out to the developer of the Lakewood Ranch community, offering to use it as the site for a vaccination drive. Working with a county commissioner, the state reserved shots for residents of two ZIP codes in Manatee County that cover Lakewood Ranch and other well-to-do communities. At a news conference, reporters peppered DeSantis with questions about the perception that he was favoring one community over another in a county where vaccinations have lagged behind the rest of the state. DeSantis responded by threatening to take the state's vaccination distribution effort elsewhere. "If Manatee County doesn't like us doing this," DeSantis said, "then we are totally fine putting this in counties that want it. We're totally happy to do that." DeSantis said the 3,000 shots being made available for residents of Lakewood Ranch and nearby communities were in addition to the county's regular vaccine allotment. Commissioners in Manatee County expressed concern that the event favored wealthy neighborhoods over underserved communities. Democrats immediately sent out news releases criticizing DeSantis for injecting politics into vaccine distribution. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, who has suggested she may challenge DeSantis when he's up for reelection next year, said, "There is no reason that Governor DeSantis should be rationing vaccines based on political influence. This is troubling and potentially illegal." State Sen. Annette Taddeo said the governor owes residents of Manatee County an apology. She said, "Veiled threats should not and cannot be tolerated by any public official." Manny Diaz, the new head of Florida's Democratic Party, said DeSantis must stop "playing politics" with vaccine distribution. Diaz said, "Threatening retribution and less vaccine access for communities that criticize the vaccine rollout for its problems is shameful and inhumane."
I looked at the three maps provided by your link. It didn't indicate Florida was at the "lower end" of anything. Especially when you consider the skew in jobs related to hospitality, that was positively crushed, and the number of elderly. Couple this with states that locked down and are doing much worse. Happy to discuss a particular stat if you'd like, rather than general macro economical subjectiveness.
Nowhere did I state "Florida is near the top". Try to keep up? Or maybe go back to not answering questions?
