Florida is where Woke dies.

It is where people want to go to, hence the inflation.

Do you really believe garbage CNN? Florida is growing without anything stopping it. Woke are moving out since they don't feel "safe or accepted ". Well, good riddance! Yes, there are problems of shoddy contractors in every state. You want to see shoddy and dishonest, not to mention incompetent? Go to California, silicon valley in particular. I lived there, escaped communism. I will take my Sunshine State any day.

This can be distilled down pretty easy. Miami Dade is an area where rich Lefties feel "comfortable " settling in Florida (think Austin, TX). They flee Blue-run hellholes like Minneapolis, and since they live in more expensive houses there, the housing costs will have a more outsized impact on a lower inflation rate. They then move to their "safe from conservatives" area of Florida, bidding up the price of real-estate even more. [There is very little undeveloped land there for their big homes.] So they again have an outsized impact. Finally, always keep in mind the government inflation numbers are heavily manipulated. For example, if inflation % were to match what it was during Trump era, that doesn't mean the prices of things are back to Trump era, since the inflation actual cost gets added on top of prior year's costs. So things are much more expensive. The Blue state infection continues to spread to more conservative areas of the country. Dems like making messes, but never get held accountable and never stay around long enough to actually fix things [which isn't their goal anyway.]

GDP of 3.5 vs the nations rate of 2.0 Fla growth rate is growing faster than the big states like Ca NY and Tx with that comes billions of dollars and soaring property values ....... and it’s not cooling off

Food, energy and insurance prices have been rising faster in Florida than in the rest of the country. It's not just the property prices. People and especially retirees have long wanted to live in Florida. DeSantis' failure to bring inflation under control is due to fact that he is economically incompetent. As POTUS he would ruin the US economically for decades. The country will be a wreck by the end of Biden's current term and if DeSantis is the GOP nominee then Biden or his replacement is likely to win. If DeSantis did win he would be guaranteed to embroil the country in forever wars, spending trillions of dollars protecting the interests of cross-dressing globalists in Europe. He does not have what it takes to repairthe damage done by the Democrats. He has no business experience. And he is beholden to his donors. He is addicted to Koch. The US will not be saved by an economic incompetent with no foreign policy experience beholden to donors. Let DeSantis' failure to bring inflation under control be a warning. The US needs the proven economic expertise of Donald J Trump.

Please enlighten this sparse crowd on how DeSantis could lower inflation in a state.

Here's some basics to get you started.

Do you live in Florida?

From the article:

1. Cut taxes. FL has no State income tax and there is already a sales tax holiday in late July/early August. Non-cooked food is not subject to sales tax. Taxes are already extremely low. What taxes would be cut?

2. Reduce regulations. FL is not overly regulatory like a lot of blue states. There doesn't seem like a lot of opportunity here.

3. Increase housing. If you live here, have you looked around? We have enough houses here, I'm in favor of DECREASING the housing supply. Everyone can just fuck right off. The environmental cost to continued building is too high, it's disgusting all of the building going on.

4. Help people get back to work. LOL. There are plenty of jobs here, no one has enough employees.

The article falls flat IMO. That might be good advice for NY or CA but not so much for FL. Housing supply has not kept up with demand, this is normal and supply is catching up - no developer or builder has a crystal ball and they're not going to start ramping up building when demand is flat.

You haven't met any basic standards

What makes you think you are going to have any insight?

Psychology is for people who don't have the Aptitude to do a real science, or the Integrity to follow own rules.

Mass Formation Psychosis Narcissistic Pathology Paradigm at minimum by Own Rules out of the box, Objective Hypocrisy Test.

You FAIL to even hold yourself to any standard at all.

Robert Malone doesn't know the proper model Neutral Objective Course Model Opposite Sloping Regression Lines to meet in the Golden Mean Middle.

Psychology lacks the Most Empathy Model, because Psychology's childhood is hopelessly damaged dissociated from objective sciences and own rules.

Psychology won't adopt the Most Empathy Model, because Psychology doesn't accept Constructive Criticism.

Psychology practices a lack of Empathy to Control.

Psychology is motivated by profits/power/supply, will turn around and call someone else a "Narcissist" -

The OWN RULE VIOLATIONS are EXPONENTIAL, but you don't understand simple logic, much less advanced math like exponents.

Thus a paradigm of Hypocrisy + Whatever you are by Own Rules.

Likely the best "Diagnosis" for Psychology is: Sunk Cost Syndrome + Deep Pockets Syndrome + some form of Narcissism Sociopathy Psychopathy and Sadism all rolled into one.

Once you understand the psychology of Psychology this will make sense to you: "Narcissist" is a word salad word in a control paradigm, a psychological tool, to make it easier to abuse another human being.

You are an ignorant hypocrite.

That's an objective opinion, as you request proof, but provide none.

Where's the link proving you have the mental capacity and integrity to understand a simple logic lesson?

Violating basic economic law with toxic time waste.

You clearly don't understand the Observations of Psychology, as you haven't "diagnosed" Psychology against it's own rules.

A governor has no control over the supply/demand equation which is the price driver in any economy.

Jimmy Carter, who next to biden ranks as history's worst US president, got that moniker in no small part because he tried to Whip Inflation Now. Remember those WIN buttons?

Inflation is caused by printing money...another example of supply/demand distortions. Print money without without increasing GDP (biden is actually purposefully destroying GDP), and you have created the perfect storm for the Stagflation disaster we are now beginning to again experience, a la Carter.

On the contrary, under the DeButtigieg (aka DeSantis) administration in Florida child trafficking rings recruit through the state foster care system. Florida has become a hub for child trafficking.

The brilliant science? I'm impressed. Post a link to where you predicted the GFC?

Expand full comment

What's GFC?

The proper model during the covid19 fraud was Shutdown Costs vs Shutdown Benefits, this is an opposite sloping regression lines model, plotted sum of the least squares, to meet in the Golden Mean Middle, Least Amount of Objective Negatives to the Population. That's the proper model, as economics pays for food/housing/healthcare. Thus: Poor Economy = Deaths. Proper Model is Costs vs Benefits.

Objective Systems Analysis my Profession.

Psychology, as construced and practiced, is the textbook clinical example of a Mass Formation Psychosis Narcissistic Pathology Paradigm. This is at minimum by own rules out of the box. You won't understand the Observations of Psychology, until you understand the psychology of Psychology. To do that, use the Objective Hypocrisy Test, Own Words and Actions against Own Rules.

Please lead by example, and post a link, where you can prove you have the mental capacity to understand any simple logic simple integrity lesson.
