Florida is now one of the most financially stressed states in the country, second only to another Southern state, according to a new report by WalletHub, which defines financial distress as having credit in forbearance or deferring payments due to financial difficulty.

“When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state,” WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said about the findings.

      If we stop exporting our own oil and stop buying from the Saudis, I’ll fuckin take it at this point.

        I would love it if we did that. It would be a good starting step in cutting down oil if we weren’t exporting. Oil drilling is a scurge on the earth causing earthquakes, destroying habitats, and polluting water supplies. And that’s leaving aside the global warming!
