That generation of Floridians is going to be seriously messed up. This could be a real problem (or maybe Florida will be destroyed by the Climate Crisis before it manifests, who knows).
At this point I expect Florida to undergo an apocalypse, ordinarily I wouldn’t be so dramatic, but they are literally using radioactive material to make roads
What’s ironic is that the decline of Florida will probably lead to their government throwing money at corporations to build there. The corps will bite, but they’ll need intelligent and skilled workers to actually run their business. They aren’t going to find that in Florida. They’ll have to woo people from outside of Florida to move there, which will be a tough sell. If they can’t get enough people, the corporations will leave too, and Florida will become so bad that liberals in neighboring states will be weighing the ethics of refusing Floridian refugees.
Let’s say though that the corporations do manage to find workers from elsewhere. Those workers will live in newly constructed luxury homes with brand new, reliable infrastructure. They won’t bother with places outside of their bubble unless they also become gentrified. This would create a demand for workers in these new, fancy places. And so, Floridians will find themselves either serving an outsider upper class, or taking orders from outsider managers and senior workers. They’ll become a servant lower class to an upper class of other Americans.
Don’t get me wrong, this is fucked up, and it’s going to hurt the common folk, not the politicians who deserve it. It’s tragic.

They’ve got enough money that they can make the climate problems in Florida everybody else’s problem, unfortunately.
