On Haitian Deportations and a Line from Billy Joel

A post on a Florida local TV web site tells us something that was utterly predictable: the deportation of Haitians is resulting in a loss of staff and a serious decline in conditions in Florida nursing homes and ALFs. There is no plan on the part of Florida or federal politicians to do anything about it.

If you’re an elderly Floridian or someone with parents in an ALF, and you voted for Trump, the relevant line is from Billy Joel’s “Big Shot:” “Go on and cry in your coffee, but don’t come bitching to me.” This is what you voted for, so learn to live with it.
