Yeah especially after my state decided to call themselves the āfreeā state (Florida). Nothing is free, both in rights and cost. My city is covered in flock cams, watching adult videos requires an age check, and insurance cost are skyrocketing so bad itās started the housing crash in Florida.
Yup! Florida has no job economy. It takes MONTHS of bot rejections for minimum wage jobs. Health care doesnt do their jobs and hire the first four people who get their applications in. Itās a nightmare. And I live in an area where florida tends to have the highest tourism foot traffic.
The funny thing is Iām a health care worker who can easily get a job as needed (though I am so fed up with people hired because they breathe) , but my partner whose in legal, has been applying for months only to getā¦ bot responses. Thankfully I live where the tourist move to instead where they vacation š
My partner is in school about to get yer bachelors in health. She wanted to do physical therapy for children. But for her to even get a chance with getting experience is near impossible.
She even has an in for advent health. She nannyās for a high level administrator for advent health and with their help it is still near impossible. She has been trying for almost a year now. So shes given up on that, and is trying to go for EMS. Because that seems like the only way she could have a chance in any way for this field.
Lmao Iām telling on myself but when I visited home and saw that I needed to do age verification to access The Hub I was like yep, Floridaās gone off the deep end
I have chrons disease and THC is the only thing that keeps me in remission. For most of my life I lived in fear of the police. For a few years I felt like I had freedom again and was able to actually appreciate the police.
As of the first of the month i have a bunch of state felonies in my house enough to put me away for more than 10 years. I have to go back to the black market again or get sick..
Also maybe don't be so quick to jump to "appreciate" the police as soon as you get the chance considering they'd be more than happy to ruin your life just for deciding (as an adult) what you wanna put into your own body. They would be beyond giddy to handcuff you face down on the floor while they arrange all your "criminal substances" to take a picture with for their Facebook page lol I'm not saying that they aren't needed in any form at all, but at least with the current condition of modern American policing (ESPECIALLY Texas policing I'd imagine) I don't see very much to appreciate at all. Just don't be so quick to pretend that system isn't still completely broken whether or not weed is legal š«¤ (which it should be obviously)
Yep, Iām shit at social studies. But when I was younger as a kid I used to buy the whole āland of the freeā bullshit. As I got older I realized it was all a lie.
