Pertinent quote from the results section of the publication:
Most people who come from a socio-economically less favorable background do not commit more crime than people who come from a more favorable background, and it also happens that people from a more favorable background do commit crime. This means that even if there is a connection between socio-economic background and involvement in crime, that connection is weak. It is not possible to appreciably predict who will commit crimes based on knowledge of people's socio-economic background.

Yeah, mostly the rural areas are deep red, and the urban areas are blue. Recently, though, Alachua County (north of Gainesville, where the University of Florida is) has gone crazy leftist, while Miami-Dade is swinging hard right (because of Cubans, Czechs, Greeks, etc.).
And yes, gators are everywhere. If you are near a body of water big enough, you will eventually see a gator. You'll see a snake much earlier, and then, if you're in a rural area, a panther.
Yeah that's familiar unfortunately. Do tell though, is there any hope for Alachua and similar places or do you feel like they're entirely doomed and will only be saved by collapsing and resetting?
So the gator thing is true, but it's not just them, you also have panthers? Are they hostile towards humans or do they stay away like most bears do? Speaking of bears, I've had a few bears check out my yard, but you just get out and yell at it and it runs away quickly, but I can't imagine getting out of my house and seeing a big gator looking at me, what do you even do at that case? Because I can't imagine a gator cares about you yelling at it and making noise.
The only real hope is left-wing self-deporting because of how based deSantis is being.
Panthers mostly try to avoid humans, but there are some that seem to want to toy with people. And not much scares a gator... but they are fairly tasty...
Are you pessimistic or optimistic about Florida's future? While DeStanis does a lot of Israeli shilling, he's still the only republican I see that bothers these people to such an extent , because he's actually taking action against them. Sorry for bombarding you with questions I am just interested to hear how a Floridian views the whole thing.
Speaking of the gator thing, are they free game meaning you can just kill one if it ends up in your backyard, or are they protected by some regulations? I also heard they taste good, but I'd also be interested in their skin, I'd love a pair of gator cowboy boots, but we don't have any gators in Europe.
I think the state does well in the future. I actually want Desantis to stay our governor for as long as he can. That, or have Putnam (our former agriculture commissioner that got cheated in 2018) run and win.
Gators are a limited permit hunt. 7k permits per year in a lottery. But, there are tons of places to buy farm raised gator meat and skins.
