God sure knows how to treat Florida

Hurricanes, floods, giant blobs of seaweed, mice, the Mar-a-Lago Monster, Der Fuhrer, minions in the legislature that would probably vote to buy panzers and u-boats if the Fuhrer asked, and now this:

Flesh-eating bacteria.

My oh my! All that and insufferable heat, too.

has turned the oceans into sewers. It's not just a Florida problem, it's a whole earth problem. And I don't subscribe to the belief of a "big guy in the sky" lounging on a cloud and whimsically punishing anyone. I agree that Florida currently has some political problems, but so do the other 49. I have visited Florida before and will do so again.
