She's a recent widow who lives alone in a house in the Tampa suburb of Wesley Chapel. It takes months to get an appointment with a specialist. Insurance of all kinds has doubled in price in just the last couple years, if you can get it at all. Her electric bill is through the roof. The social atmosphere is toxic, Trumpism is open and aggressive, worse than the reddest of red states, with people flying huge ugly Trump flags from their houses. Florida allows concealed or open carry without any training or license, so there's nutters walking around with guns everywhere. It's scary.
