Boomer retirements started hitting hard in 2011. Florida is approaching 1/3 of the state being older than 60. They're the most rapidly aging state in the country right now. Nearly every other state is losing old people to Florida on a daily basis.

When Obama was running, Florida was less than 1/4 of the state being 60 or older. Somewhere just under 4M residents of around 19M total. Now Florida has 22M people and of that 7M are 60 or older. The biggest growth changes are in the 0-19 age group that can't/won't vote. And the 60+ age group which is guaranteed to vote and skews conservative.

Putin has shifted to being good with Bibi keeping the conflict going. Because like Bibi, he thinks it will play a factor in getting Trump elected.

Iran is usually up for helping poke the little Satan. Selling Russia more drones is good too. But getting 1 of their proxies wiped out. Plus the other 2 heavily engaged. Then Putin shifts to back Israel. Guessing that wasn't what Iran bargained for.

Long-term it could be in Iran's favor as people are waking up to how fucked the Zionists are. But to have Putin play both sides should cause Iran to reconsider how much they're really aligned.

Worst case, MSM pushing this because the engagement around Biden dropping out has been higher than Trump being Trump.

Might not be a bad thing. But it does seem like a self fulfilling narrative at this point.

Iran is probably a bit frustrated with Russia right now given how things have played out past Oct 7th.

I've got 10 or so tagged. And not even talking ML accounts. They got quiet for a couple days after Biden stepped down. Are now running with "why aren't the Dems having 2nd primary" because they haven't figured out a better vector yet.

The trolls do too. But for some silly reason comments calling them out get removed while their posts stay up.

Sure but Florida is different. Nearly every other state is seeing some exodus of Boomers who have the wealth to retire. Many of them head to Florida.

Florida has always had a mix of that going on. But Boomers started retiring at high rates about 10 years ago. The pace of influx of these people to Florida has dramatically aged the state. Forecast is 1/3rd of the state will be 60 or older in a couple years. That age group was under 1/4th before this latest mass migration started.

Awesome info. Thanks for the write up. Have always been curious about the economics.

They're having a blast too. It's even possible this will be the last trip both of them take to ISS.

Ronda won 57% to 42%. It was one of the biggest margins in the race in a long time. Florida keeps going further right. Because they've got an average of like 800 Boomer retirees moving in daily.

It is odd that so many people forgot about this. All "the sky is falling" posts about debt completely ignore this chart. What was weird was debt getting paid off during the pandemic. Not the rate of debt spending we're back to post pandemic.

They post what would likely fit European daytime hours.
