As somebody from Upstate NY, I can’t say I feel too bad for them. The south has been holding this country back for decades tbh...

Well I'm sure their wise investments in apartheid, genocide, etc. will certainly pay off. \s \s \s

• Florida Poised to Prioritize Israeli Bonds, Even as Default Risks Rise

Seriously tho the default is the point. It's profitable for them monetarily and ideologically.

We, especially palestinians, are all going to continue to pay the bill for these delusional wackjobs.

thats what happens if your state depends on TOURISM, and mostly farm work, and retirees that dont pay taxes.

Brown people! They came illegally, stole all the jobs, and now they've taken the economy too. Those black people probably need to go to rebalance thelosses. Maybe the white Christian holyland needs to purge the Jews and other non beleivers too? [predicting the MAGA playlist based upon world history]

With the party of financial responsibility at the helm, of course.

I was born in the top 3 empoverished states, I live in another top 3, and whaddya know, my employer is based in the third. If I came across this article in the wild, I'd check the privacy settings on my browser thinking it's a AI-generated Farticle (Fake Article) created from my own metadata. Unreal. But yet, it's true. Last week I couldn't pay for my 1 measly city college class, so I put it on the only credit card that isn't maxed out. Most days I feel like that rubber toy from the 80's Stretch Armstrong. Big smile and streeeeetch those finances!

lol. I got the fuck out of there finally. Sink FL, Sink!

Desantis and his wife were money laundering and taking kick backs from Medicaid through his wife's charity.

As DeSantis administration officials scrambled last year to craft a Medicaid overbilling settlement that diverted millions to the Hope Florida Foundation, lawyers for healthcare contractor Centene and the Florida Attorney General’s Office tried to distance their clients from the agreement, a trove of newly released records shows.

Over 22 days in September, then-Chief Deputy Attorney General John Guard repeatedly removed references to his office in drafts of the settlement passed among negotiators.

Centene’s lawyers inserted language emphasizing that the company was “directed by the state” to donate $10 million of its $67 million settlement to the foundation. The attorneys insisted that Florida’s Office of Inspector General or attorney general be mentioned in the agreement.

Hope Florida charity paid for hotel rooms, perks for DeSantis officials

It wasn't the first time the Hope Florida Foundation, which benefits a program spearheaded by Florida first lady Casey DeSantis, has failed to file key paperwork. In April, its board president told state lawmakers that the charity had not filed any tax returns, created a budget or conducted audits required by law.

The charity is under investigation after diverting $10 million from a settlement with the state's largest Medicaid contractor to a pair of nonprofits that then gave millions to a political committee.

Blue states need to stop paying taxes. Taxation without representation no bueno. We can take the immigrants an ya’ll can have your theocratic dictatorship run by the imbecile pedo con man.

Shit states lead to shit lives. It's not hard.

They have to deflect from their failed states by attacking the successful states like California and New York.

@MicroWave When you have corrupt Governors and lawmakers that’s what you get. When will the people there learn?
