Could have started with opening it. But nnnnope liberal governors of the largest states like NY, NJ and Cali kept hold of the power and closed them for longer than anywhere else. Florida BOOMED while those states rotted.
Florida currently has the 4th largest economy in the US behind NY, TX and yup CA! This is based on gross domestic product. I would love to see Desantis debate Newsome. Desantis would get his ass handed to him. Don't take this as I am a Newsome liberal fan I just like to deal with facts and statistics. There was no big boom in Florida or rot in NY or California.
Yeah sure…

cfif.org...that just feels sketchy but ok, those numbers don't make any sense here are the numbers I have. California leads the nation in debt at 520 billion. Florida is in 5th place at 131 billion. Neither of these states have a surplus. You might want to stop using that site. Since California's GDP is over 2 trillion more than Florida it's a mute point!?!? California could pay it's debt and Florida's. Is this all you could find and using fly by night web sites?I’m glad you mentioned economies.
Cali $32 billion in debt
Florida $22 billion surplus

There ain’t one thing Newsom has over DeSantis. And a debate would be a great op for DeSantis to shred him on his policy and politics. Both of which suck. Respectfully your nuts!
PBS make you feel better?

PBS is better for sure. In your first post you used the word "debt" and now you are using "deficit" which one is it because these are two different things?PBS make you feel better?
California's Gov. Newsom says state's budget deficit has grown to nearly $32 billion
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday the state's budget deficit has grown to nearly $32 billion. That's about $10 billion more than predicted in January, when the governor offered his first budget proposal.
Good job ignoring my other two links. Those states are dying. Florida is booming. Why?
Not sure it would be such a slam dunk. Newsome's residents tried to have him recalled. Granted it failed. That would be hard to avoid in a debate.
He could at least stop admitting to his crimes in audio tapes and phone recordings. That would be a start...
Just setting up the next group of charges is all they’re doing.
Between the two the choice is clear to any sane minded individual. We don’t have dying cities here or groups of criminals ruling the streets. But in my life of 50yrs I’ve seen Florida change. SoFla where I live is now overrun with a bunch of out of staters who do nothing but tell me how much better it was where they came from. Most every time it’s in my office so I have to bite my lip. But if one more person tells me how much better the water was in NY I’ll scream.

I’m thinking about a home in the woods of Appalachia now. Porch, rocking chair, dog and a still in the woods I’ll be fine…
I'm not so sure. The old phrase the third time's the charm comes into play. His attempt(s) to overturn the election are what's going to come back to bite him.
For me it's twisties. I only have a few years left of aggressive riding and it's been my passion in life. The roads here in the Ozarks are tremendous but I hate winter. Cali has it all including sky high rent. I visit a friend in Mar Vista often. Haven't seen those criminals ruling the streets, and I doubt Florida is completely without that element. Point is, to each his own.Between the two the choice is clear to any sane minded individual. We don’t have dying cities here or groups of criminals ruling the streets.

My sister often mentions Cuban gangs in Florida and how much of a pain in the rear they are....
Yes there is crime everywhere. There was a bad meth cooking problem here in and around Springfield MO and although authorities got a hand on it, the effects hang around kind of like the pandemic. In my experience, areas of the U.S. that have a bad reputation crime wise are better than you expect, and areas with a good reputation don't completely live up to it. There's good and bad everywhere.
Even here in the backwoods....not long ago there was a big drug bust where they nabbed 22 people....I think because it's the backwoods, it attracts subversive people and groups who think just because of it's location they can fly below the radar....
Come for a visit.
