If you are a long-term Florida resident that has never been affected by the following: pandemics, mental disorders, addictions, viruses, bacteria, parasites, and natural weather events, as well as COVID-19, West Nile fever, Leprosy, Dengue fever, Avian Flu, TB, diphtheria, cholera, German measles, Swine flu, Yellow Fever, Polio, HIV, kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, Diabetes, CPOD, acid-reflux, genetic- produced disorders, depression, epilepsy, Parkinson disease, venereal disease, cancer, blood and thyroid disorders, as well as environmental toxins, and political graft, you are excused from having a vote because you do not exist.

What do you focus on?
