So the whole of Florida seems to have become one giant WTF.

The covid-19 infections rate would put it at #4 in the world if Florida was a separate country ...... so today they open Disney World! What could possibly go wrong?

As per the bumper sticker that you can actually buy "WTF - Welcome To Florida"

...Manatee County reported 480 new cases on Sunday, with a population of 403k I'd say yours are quite tame! My step daughter's ex-husband, a waiter, was confirmed positive on Thursday and in true Florida fashion she took their daughter off his hands for a day out three days later.

This has Florida and Covid and Guns

A dispute between two Walmart shoppers escalated to the point where one unmasked man pulled a gun on a masked shopper and threatened to kill him before leaving the store, and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for the gunman.

Gone are the days when the criminals wore the masks and the innocent bystanders did not.

It sounds like the reporter who wrote that article is not well informed about check printing software, as it sounds like they they think he home-brewed something to create a fake check whereas he probably just used check printing software and blank check stock paper to print a very authentic looking check.

We have no idea really what that reporter is well informed about. I read both articles and all it says is he printed them at home on his computer. The part about jewellers being smarter than Porsche dealers I would agree with, just based on the jewellers and car salesmen I know.
