Fareed Zakaria's "My Take" yesterday. [View all]

Did anyone see this? It was basically a comparison between New York state and Florida, and New York didn't come out well. It was almost all statistics, and we know that with statistics there's always another take, so to speak. I've looked for comments about this but haven't found any. I'd love to hear what James Carville or Jonathan Capehart or Pete Buttigieg had to say about it.

Do any of you have a rebuttal?

Perhaps I'm too into the aesthetics, but as a lifelong Floridian, I say it's becoming a terrible allegorical oracle Jan 2025 #10
