If you want to stay on top of Omicron/Coronovirus info, follow Dr. John Campbell on YouTube. He is the most up to date source I am aware of and covers things you often never hear anywhere else and if you do takes weeks or longer before

Go to the top of the food chain -- put a cap on property taxes, rent and utility prices. When the cost of living is $42K a year, that doesn't leave people much room to prepare for long term living expenses let alone retirement.

And don't forget to factor in age group, meaning the national average last week per capita for 18-74 was 5.x and Florida has a lot of old retired people, many moving out of places like NY this year. Then there's Texas with greater
