Actually, under Republican control, Florida's higher educational system has been pumping out tech grads for years now, and state and local governments have created major tech businesses venues. With the added spur of the Covid pandemic, these efforts have reached a critical mass as favorable climate, population growth, pro-business policies, low tax rates, a large pool of qualified employees, educational programs, and abundant investment capital work in synch.

Not only is Florida poised to become a major tech, space launch, defense, life sciences, and medical powerhouse, but the state is on the verge of also having a high speed North-South rail system -- privately owned at that, and years before California. It remains to be seen if Florida can retain its Republican orientation, but the odds seem to favor that.

Yes, and I hope for the best for Florida, too. A humming economy, and a huge wave of steadfast Republican voters :-)
