    I wonder if that’s also due to the new fiber line connected to Florida for better latency to other international regional data centers

      We didn’t have a single hurricane land last year, so fascists decided we’ll never have another hurricane in Florida again and are building all their infrastructure there.

      They got four months to build it before Mother Nature reminds them it thinks on longer timelines than season to season.

          In all seriousness it’s gonna be bad.

          FEMA ain’t gonna be able to handle anything that actually happens, but at least this hurricane season will be right before midterms.

          It won’t get republicans to vote D, but it’ll depress their turnout if he leaves them “out to dry” right before midterms. But what would be worse for Republican turnout than him not helping, is actually trying to help (at least red states he likes) and failing miserably.

          It’s not that I’m cheering for future suffering. I’m realistic it’s gonna happen, and I’m hoping the silver lining is republican voters realize Republican politicians don’t give a fuck about them.

            Agreed.

      Its because it’s rated 5th in the country for corporate tax rates at only 5.5%. I say let them go. They will ruin the state even more since that kind of tax rate won’t help the state much, and we already know they will make further deals to move there bringing it even lower for years to come. We also know they will pay less because of loopholes as well. Great job Florida, you got the businesses but with little money to come with them so whats the point? We already know if you change that they will probably leave again so long term won’t work either.
