No, but driven thru it a bunch of times,  even back when people were still living there.

Two Children Dead After Running Into Traffic in California

Apparently, the mom, drunk, sent the kids into the highway to get luggage that fell off the roof.

She got a DUI.

 

WTF?

TX sales tax is 8.25%.  I have to remember to add that into my quotes, which vendors include it already, which vendors say (+tax) and which vendors just don't say anything at all then add it to their invoice when the job is done meaning I've lost that % on our profit.  I've had enough. It's a stupid state.  Glad to know I will die without ever being near the place.

Judge orders Florida to stop putting children in nursing homes

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/20/florida-children-nursing-homes-judge-ruling

Quote

"The approach of institutionalizing children is really quite antiquated,” she told the Guardian, noting that advances in technology, and a commitment to the proper funding of community care, had led other states away from the practice.

"The vast majority of children with medical complexity live at home, generally with their biological families, sometimes in medical foster homes. So I think the fact that [Florida] relies on the facilities, and it appeared they were extremely committed to keeping them, is not in line with the national landscape of care of children with medical complexity.”

Some parents, she said, were wrongly told their children would require private bedrooms and round-the-clock care at home, even though many shared rooms in the nursing homes.

Freedom loving Florida!!

Now business friendly!!!

Florida Schools Will Teach How Slavery Brought ‘Personal Benefit’ to Black People

"Students at Florida public schools will now learn that Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them skills,” the Florida Phoenix reports.

"This change is part of the African American history standards the State Board of Education approved at a Wednesday meeting.”

Tallahassee Democrat: "After more than an hour of public comment, with a majority of speakers opposed, the board voted unanimously to approve the social studies standards for African American history for kindergarten through 12th grades.”
