If I were homeless, I’d pick a moderate year round weather place over a swampland

I suppose that's where I'd buy my plane ticket to as well.

Florida is massively developed. Not quite fair to call it "swampland." Homeless in California aren't squatting in the deserts.

Well, not all of them.

They're shitting on San Francisco, when they could be shitting on Orlando with much less competition.

I more meant the 100 degree crazy humidity, etc.

Ahhhh.

One becomes acclimatized. Porters in the Bahamas scam you for tips while wearing black slacks and white dress shirts, while not perspiring.

I've lived in the South for 42 years, and I'll just disagree

Your bloodline is weak, and you'll be forgotten by history.

My people are Vikings. fuck this hot shit.

Heat and humidity for sure - but also bugs - when you don't have windows and doors you can close - the bugs in Florida at night will eat your shit up. Way less of a problem in CA.

e: not that CA doesn't have bugs, heavens no, slugs are bugs right? I've killed about 300 of them in the last few weeks in beer traps. Fuckers are trying to eat my poppy crop.

NYT endorses two Dem candidates.

So I guess the MSM is going all in on a female candidate this year? This would also explain CNN's attacks on Biden and Sanders.

Sanders surges ahead of Biden in poll.

Funny how offering free stuff wins you votes.

I personally think Sanders is unelectable. He's too old, too out of touch, and a socialist.

I hope you are right.

"The Hillary Effect"

This is only kind of a joke. The backlash against her for saying that was kind of a message that Sanders could, in fact, be the candidate for real.

I personally think Warren is more unelectable.

I saw that speculated on...maybe CNN? I think it's a fair theory. People HATE Hillary.

Racist.

Speaking of hating Hillary...Gabbard files $50M lawsuit against her.

Uh oh. If you can't just call people RUSSIAN TROLLS all willy-nilly, that's going to take a major tool out of the toolbox.

Sounds like something a Russian troll would do
