To the people I see commenting that the state of Florida will be a loser in the long run, between April 2020 and July 2022, Florida's population grew by 3.3% [1].
Compare that to states such as California (-1.3% [2]) and New York (-2.6% [3]) for the same period.
Seems like more people like what DeSantis and Florida have been doing overall.

- Clubber 3y ago>in the long run >between April 2020 and July 2022 It takes a long time to destroy a city or a state. It won't necessarily be the entirety of Florida but Orlando's economy is pretty Disney centric and might take a pretty big hit if Disney divests over the next 20 years. Will it be Detroit levels? Who knows. Also, there are term limits, so DeStantis is out in 2026 either way. Disney just has to wait it out a couple more years.
- some-guy 3y agoNot denying your sources' facts, but I would be careful to extrapolate any long term (decades-plus) over population shifts during the pandemic.
