Ensuring the brain drain and rot in Florida continues. Not that it matters what they teach anymore since climate change will solve our Florida problem before any of those kids are adults anyway.
Brain drain is real. I'm an electrical engineer at a small utility in FL. 3 engineers have left the state to work elsewhere in the year that i've been here, I'm about to be the 4th. That only leaves 2 in my office, not counting the managers that are all retiring in the next couple years. They can't seem to hire anyone even with competetive pay. Maybe anecdotal but if the only professionals that stay in FL are the ones that believe in 'alternative facts' I don't see how they're going to keep the lights on.
Do you imagine all 22 million of them standing on their rooftops giving the world a final salute as the water rises over their nostrils? As much as I might want that to be the case, there's no way they're going down with the ship. These indoctrinated trolls will be relocating in droves, possibly to a neighborhood near you.
