Anyone who has a problem with people saying "they don't have [insert thing here] as good in Florida as they did [insert somewhere else]" should either a) get over it, or b) improve Florida so that they DO have it as good as they do [insert somewhere else].

Florida, in general, just isn't able to "do" pizza like they can do it in New England, New York, or even in Chicago. Florida, in general, isn't able to "do" northern shellfish like they "do" up north. Florida, in general, doesn't "do" poutine like they do in Canada. Florida, in general, doesn't do middle-eastern food like they do in the middle-east. Florida doesn't "do" education as well as they "do" in some other states. It doesn't "do" equitable distribution of tax dollars as well as they "do" it in other states. There are a lot of things Florida doesn't "do" as well as they do in other places. Of course - Missouri doesn't "do" beaches like Florida does. No one does "tacky pink flamingo decor" as well as the the Florida Keys do.

If you have a problem with that, then you need to improve whatever it is that they do better somewhere else. Or, stop complaining that Florida doesn't do things as well as other areas with various subjects.
