Lived on Marco Island during the 1980s, my mom lives in Fort Myers, more family in Sarasota.

In the 1980s there was the Confederate flag types and the golf course types. Both racist AF but living and talking differently. They've grown to be allies over the years. Lots more people, the beginnings of sea level rise, it looks different. But the same stuff, conditions in Immokalee and Rice, the greed, the haves and have nots, white privilege, poorly managed police, it's more alike than different from 1984 to 2024.
