    Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it’s called a PENINSULA

        Despite the fact that I have family in florida, I would definitely swap florida and California status, least Cali does something good for the country with their tech innovation and privacy laws. I can’t recall the last time Florida did something good
