About
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

I mean DeSantis is a shithead, but Florida is also expensive, hot, has poor infrastructure, and is sinking.
This article is putting a political spin on something that might not be that political.
Academics do not get paid much, so the increase in Florida’s cost of living (combined with it being a shit place to live) probably contributes to them leaving.
It’d be more compelling if they showed the stats of academics leaving Florida compared to non academics in the same economic bracket.
All those things you just mentioned are heavily influenced by who is in political power.
