professors are leaving florida - and turning down job offers in florida - because of desantis

[Anonymous]

Anyone who thinks Disney will move doesn't understand geography. No blue state can offer proximity to east coast travelers, warm weather year-round, and cheap land.

Also politics changes quickly. Florida could be blue in five years.

South Florida and Texas are like another country. English is a second language and both are culturally Latino. Now the state is dictating what can be taught and what can not with threaten of jail time. Any normal person would find another job. But who really cares? Florida universities and colleges are just party schools. The young professionals leave these states as soon as they can. I know many who complain it’s either angry, zombie like, old cheap white people or like living in South America.

For the life of me I do not understand the love for these two state by conservatives. Given how conservatives/republicans hate Hispanics and social security.

Why would it have to be a blue state? Disney is an extremely conservative/republican company. They could go to Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, etc.

Florida’s colleges are generally mediocre at best, in any event. But tenure track jobs are quite rare indeed—old farts teaching into their 80s and the repulsive treatment of adjuncts.

UF is excellent as state schools go.

No shortage of professors will take those spots of others turn them down. Higher education has a massive surplus of phds looking for teaching jobs.

Disney is radically far-leftist.

The hell it is. Just because the GOP is the fascist party doesn’t mean that anyone not as crazy as y’all are is “radically far-leftist.”

Tourism/beaches is huge for the FL economy, and the beaches/natural beauty are a big reason people move to FL. PhDs in ecology, biology, hydro and geology are important for FL. Most people know this.

I’m concerned about Bill Gates experimenting with releasing certain mosquitos in Florida. How can that be a good idea?

Research biologist here. The two real life tests of genetically-modified mosquito releases in Florida and California will SAVE LIVES from disease carried by mosquitoes. The particular gene modification involved is not a risk for humans at all, either directly or through a decrease in the mosquito population reverberating through the ecosystem.
I know you're probably a low-information fear-spreader, since you're inserting the name of a famous billionaire, but just to inform normal people reading this thread:
We should implement this to the entire USA in the coming years. Mosquitoes threaten the US population with malaria, dengue, zika, etc, and spread north as global warming extends tropical conditions to a greater swathe of the country.
Please vote for genetic mosquito control! It's much safer for humans than spraying carcinogenic insecticide everywhere.

The number of electoral votes these two states have.

Actions, consequences.

Also, let them make enemies of Disney and hopefully decimate their economy. Reap, sow.

Disney's is booming in Florida. Unless they are wiling to move the property, they are going to have to keep investing in it. Do you really think Iger is going to decide that DeSantis is mean and write off Disney World and move to a more welcoming state?

I think nowadays anything can happen, and usually does.
