In a way, she’s actually correct.
The New York Prog power construct at present does not need productive people, entrepreneurs or savers. The state and its pols live off skimmings from Wall Street, Federal debt trading and (for now) the primacy of the USD, all of which funds their political army of government works and welfare voters.
Curley Effect, again.
The dollar isn’t going anywhere - it’s become a LOT stronger this year and likely will continue to do so. Agree with the rest of your comment and would be great to turn Florida (and Texas) overwhelmingly red if they actually would move.
