You are a strange little man. Looky what jobs were #3 for illegals in Fla

https://www.floridapolicy.org/posts/nearly-400-000-undocumented-immigrants-work-in-six-key-statewide-industries-study-says. Perhaps the new law accounts for some of the high cost of living in Fla?  Pls link the 2012 reference. 

You link to an article that literally was wrong about everything as far as the impact of the new law last year but I should simply trust the premise? As for why I picked  2012 is I traveled around the country until 2013 and I had enough contact with general managers for Marriott hotels who told me they could not compete on the dirt cheap rates of lesser motels because they could not hire the illegals who work on daily pay. This was a general manager outside Chicago and one outside Atlanta.

I replied to them a few days ago after a strange take on the election asking if they were in a parallel universe because the comment was so far off. Maybe I was on to something. Maybe he is in a parallel universe where slavery ended in the late 1920's.

Nah, I’m in a hotel in a fairly conservative city with immigrants ( some likely illegal) after a nice day roaming around. We ate in nice restaurants so the staff was mostly American although we didn’t go back in the kitchens.  Couldn’t bring ourselves to visit the slave market. But you be you. I bet you’d be interested but not want it in textbooks.

Oh, well that settles lt!  Link to what the article was wrong about.  Was hospitality not #3? A general manager you say…

 

seems something there is causing inflation worse than the remainder of the country

I have no interest in seeing a slave market. It was a dark time in history. However, I still am confused about the less than 100 years comment. Unless you are in Mauritania, slavery has been banned for over 100 years.

Law passed in 2023, we had high inflation in 2022. You need to learn to look at a calendar. Housing has become more readily available, fruit and vegetables have not gotten more expensive since last year, and no longer waits in restaurants. Those are the 3 things they warned about, as for childcare I can't comment because it has been a tight market in our market since 2008 at a minimum.

So what caused the highest inflation in the country in April 2024?  Yacht prices in Miami?

It is literally a line in your article

"but rent, car insurance and transportation costs continue to rise."

 

Rent has been rising slower and appears to be stable in my area now. The other parts are not related to your predictions.

Also from the linked article 

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, you can expect to spend an average of $287.27 a week on groceriesin Florida, the fifth most expensive state in the nation after California, Nevada, Mississippi and Washington.

With children in the house, Floridians spend, on average, $341.40 a week.

Orlando has been expensive for food since at least 2016 compared to most of country. Our cost shot up from 2020-2022. The cost has not increased nearly as much in two years. In 2022 when we visited New Orleans I realized how expensive Orlando was because their regular grocery store prices were similar to our Aldi's.

Your anecdotes are interesting if not meaningful.

You posting is like a digital merry go round. All you do is spin without heading anywhere.

Your link has no substance except that Ashley says her diary has public access. Meanwhile a unanimous jury decision found trump guilty of sexual misconduct that the judge characterized as rape. You must be so proud. 

 

as far as it being your country,when trump’s economic policies go into effect we’ll see his popularity plummet. Increased prices due to tariffs and the insolvency of Medicare and Social Security in a few short years are going to make y’all very unpopular. Hope you have a big nest egg. 
https://taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/trumps-social-security-benefit-tax-repeal-would-lower-taxes-accelerate-program-insolvency

 

Creepy Joe took weird showers with his little girl - it’s in there. 
 

You need to do more studying on tariffs and the application of them. Additionally he has suggested that we lower taxes in conjunction with tariffs - i.e., we bring manuf and production back to USA while  taking less from taxpayers. There is offset there Joe and many more reasons to strategically apply them (or even threaten to apply).  
 

All Libs parrot the same CNN, MSNBC lines:

 

- He Hitler

- He Convicted Felon

- You vote for him, you bad, you racist

- Tariff bad,  will cost more for us

- Trump win economy stupid (my favorite)

 

Wake up Joe!  These peeps are feeding you lines from the establishment!

 

As many of my fellow Patriots have pointed out, the economy was a factor in the vote, but for many it was waaay more about the pedophelia, dumbing down of education, wokeness, allowing criminals to come into our country freely,  vax mandates, and much more. 
 

You guys love to emotionalize people and issues with labels and hate. Get over yourselves and start using your intellect instead of your emotions. 
 

Since you asked - I’m fine. I’m writing this note from my ranch out west. 
 

Peace  and hugs to you Joe and hope you come to your senses one day.
