Investor’s Edge with Gary Kaltbaum

Weekdays

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks during a press conference at the University of Miami Health System Don Soffer Clinical Research Center on May 17, 2022 in Miami, Florida. The governor held the press conference to announce that the state of Florida would be providing $100 million for Florida's cancer research centers, after he signs the state budget into law.

Gary will be the first to admit that not only has he gotten the Vaccine plus the booster, but he has also taken to wearing a mask wherever he goes. But, he doesn’t have to because there has been no mandate in the great state of Florida that deems it so. Unlike New York that has recently seen Governor Kathy Hochul institute a mandate to help fight microns, saying, “The temporary measures I am taking today will help accomplish this through the holiday season.” 

Despite the fact that Florida is currently the lowest with transmission rates throughout the entire US, people are still calling out Florida Governor Ron Desantis as the face of Death in the US. One of Gary notes significant differences is that Florida has been opened and has refrained from setting out strings of mandates. Florida is not a place that feels you need to be ruled over like some medieval serfdom.

New York mandates have reached a new low as now the government is putting its hands into private businesses. Gov. Hochul has now required masks in any private businesses in New York. Like a doting mother, though, Hochul has come out and said that “I have warned for weeks that additional steps could be necessary, and now we are at that point based upon three metrics: increasing cases, reduced hospital capacity, and insufficient vaccination rates in certain areas.” Meanwhile, Gov. Desantis has come out to give us the information and let us choose as citizens how we want to run our businesses and families.
