    You just want to move a goalpost that doesn’t even exist. My comment was a response to a low effort joke. If you are looking for a debate based on that then look elsewhere.

    On the topic of Florida being a retirement state:

    Florida is historically in the top three states for its elderly population. We don’t have a state income tax so people flock here to live in their savings and social security. Something around 20% of the population is over 65 and Florida is the third most populous state. I don’t need to excuse that we have a demographic problem. It is a retirement state. All I’m saying is that is a factor skewing the per capita numbers.

      “It was just a joke bro, why are you taking everything so seriously? I was only spreading misleading information about a state’s economy in a conversation about economic policies, no big deal right?”
