Yeah I saw the Palmetto Bugs in Florida. Once in a while wander into an apartment There was a young woman moving in to a place I lived next door to in St. Pete. I told her if I can help in any way feel free to knock on the door. 10 minutes later I hear this scream. She says there is a giant bug in the place. Then she said I hate bugs. I got it for her. I told her they are pretty common. I thought to myself. You picked a heck of place to come if you don't like bugs.

America is losing any remaining enclaves of polite society due to our inability to hold that small minority (young black and brown males) of violent, thieving criminals committing the majority of crime accountable. I’m anonymous as I’m corporate now, but plan to speak out more openly about this as a black man as I feel it’s one of the most pressing issues in our society today and the chief impediment to actual productive, civil black and brown men who are doing everything they can to get ahead. Our low standards and lack of accountability in society are causing us to lose everything we’ve worked so hard to build.

Around the time the country was shut down, I saw so many buildings, highway signage, various nature Preserves and wooded parks, and so many buildings were attacked by graffiti taggers. I'm an Atlanta native and there was never this much graffiti in the city and across the metro Atlanta area. Not to mention, the amount of trash and litter around the metro area also increased. Some folks are disgusted, disrespectful, dysfunctional idiots who are a waste of time and space. Local multinationals need to enforce strict punishments for this.

You have a misconception about Florida. Only lower Central and South Florida do not have all four seasons. Go to Northern Florida which is called the (panhandle) and you will see all four seasons. The leaves fall off the trees in winter and bloom in the spring. Occasionally it does snow in those parts of Florida. The temperatures also dip into the 30s and sometimes 20s. North Florida also has the big roach (palmetto bug) so it is not because of continual warm weather.

FYI - This was actually a world orchestrated art event and tons of Graffiti artists came in from around the world. The back story is the true backstory - Construction was halted without a projected completion date; due to corruption of ex-LA councilman Jose Huizar on racketeering charges. In addition with financial issues in relations to current geopolitical tensions between USA & China. Use it or lose it to the art scene. A lot of Angelinos love it.

But you nailed it, very well connected to the Huizar crimes, of which his family skated while helping him embezzzle.

There is something to worry about when CA has a $68b deficit. In terms of LA, it's very much segregated (which causes a myriad of problems) and the people there are very demoralized as well. Many people are broke but what to "look the part". They're used to homeless people roaming around, fires spouting, and the lack of real relationships. Everything there is artificial and if you're not a mega millionaire, you are certainly suffering. There are other parts of CA that are way better than this.
