The fact Florida allows drive through liquor and gun shops might make you question the wisdom of your great state, which is popular only for it's weather, lax gun laws and and wildlife refugee farms
Allowing thousands to attend live sports in stadiums, stadiums owned by millionaires who keep their pockets full from TV revenue is the bigger joke.
eh kinda true but not exactly.....
Remember I myself grew up in New Jersey the first 30 years of my life, and that is all that I knew. The last 12 or so year I have now lived in Florida here, and its very different from the State level perspective, New Jersey and Florida. New Jersey is probably a lot like where you are from and Canada very Liberal. Florida is actually the polar opposite and a Red very Right Leaning Conservative State. Jersey and Florida are opposites. Jersey just went recreational as your talking actually (like Canada now..) Florida its way over Regulated and Taxed (Conservative) here. So while I 100% agree with you and think on the whole we should just make Marijuana recreational once and for all. Its literally no big deal in a few years, no onw would even care or notice. Just as is everywhere, no smoking in Public so do it respectfully. Which is how most all do it anyway, so its a big waste of money and effort really. What you left out that is very very attractive about Florida being your home State here in the U.S, so Floridians we don't pay that extra5-9% or whatever your State Tax is in Florida. So and I know now, I think what I realized about Florida is this.........
People do what I now call "Donald Trump it", which what I mean by that is this. You make your millions and get rich elsewhere, then when you are older as most people seem to do. They 'Retire' and move down here to Florida then. They got rich elsewhere, and then became a Floridian for the weather, beach's, bots, and of course no State-Income Tax, so very big Tax benefits. And in your older years, when your earning Years are behind you, im sure you are then gonna be counting pennies or watching them then. Florida does have very absurd Laws and rules which make absolutely no sense. Not even from a Scientific standpoint. Like here in Florida we have a Massive motorcycle population (weather/Sun), big Daytona Beach is here. And for absolutely not one reason that makes sense it is NOT a Law in Florida to have to wear a helmet when on a motorcycle. New Jersey with a very small Motorcycle Population, and Winters (lol) has a Law that makes you were a helmet. So there really are some ass-backwards Laws in Florida, and some of its not even worth caring or bothering with lol...
That is how I see Florida myself after ~12 years now, people get RICH (Trump) elsewhere, and then they come down here to Florida to 'Retire' and have fun in the Sun while also having the very big benefit of not even having to pay any State Income in Taxes now etc...
