Floriduh! Raise your hands if you didn't see this coming. Glad my mother got out of there today. Hopefully she didn't get infected on the way out.

are the taxes low or something? Does the cost of A/C sort of balance it out though?

It actually can't be avoided. It can only be slowed. We can drag this out several years or we can do what Sweden did. We'll be dragging it out several years.

1. In general, yes. There's no state income tax; sales tax most places is 6.5-7%. I think property tax is mid to high.

2. My last bill was $50, the previous was $30. Most people with larger dwellings have much higher energy bills. Mine will start getting higher as I've been running the A/C a shitload not being in the office.
