You're not in Disneyworld anymore: Florida's 'shadow country' laid bare by photographer who spent months traveling through the Sunshine State's wild side

Their sister's their mother their father's their brother they love one another the Florida famileee.

That these are pretty much worldwide conditions shows that Earth is a prison planet.

oh Florida!

People blame one political party or another--it is both, that is why Trump and "The Burn" are popular. People want the grenade the parties. You don't simply throw money at poverty; it is a combination of bad decisions, bad company and bad events. The bad decisions and bad company prevent a change and rise in conditions. Combine that with union-run schools, bloated bureaucracies in all phases of government AND NGOs--what you get a perfect storm to destroy lives and keep them that way. The wreckage is left over from the hurricanes--people took the money and abandoned the properties; the local governments don't have the money to clean at the stuff up.

America is as fake as british womens bodies. But because most people believe EVERYTHING they see on the !d!iot box, in the corner of their rooms, this may surprise some. Miami is unbelievable ¿ you cross one bridge from the publicised beach front and you end up in a place called Overtown ¿ they don¿t put that place in the movies/brochures. But what do you expect from forked tongued people. Always pushing a lie

How old are these pictures? The cars look ancient for a start.

looks way worse then it does in North Korea..the pics of N Korea look like paradise

Some of those photos look staged to me.

THE GREAT AMERICA

The only thing worth seeing in Florida is the Delray Misfits - Jason Genova, Andrew, Brad, Big Lenny and co. For the 'ments.

The poor boy in the photo who has shorts that are way too big for him. He has to hold them up. Years ago I was on a bus trip across the USA and when we went through an area in Louisiana, it was obvious that the people that lived there were very poor, but what I noticed was, many of them wore plastic shower caps. Boys and girls. Not sure if that was a trend at the time, never did find out. I just found it odd.

There was an American criticising the state of the UK today in the dm! obviously he's never been to these parts of the states all prosperous countries will have their slums from drunks to druggies & their unfortunate families they drag up !

Sure there are places like this but the article does not depict the true Florida; you can make any place look bad. I've lived here for 22 years and perhaps in those years I have come across that many sights.

Yeah. With whole bunch of lazy people what else can you expect?

Labyrinth, Hot Springs;... "And that's exactly why the Left lost support from working class whites a long time ago. Most attacks on working class rural people come from these pretentious liberals"... What hogwash. This guy paints with a massively broad stroke to try and convince us of some kind of injustice. Democrats never "lost support from the working class". They lost support from the impoverished biggoted south. Look at state electoral maps for confirmation of that. Calling them "working" class is a euphemism to begin with. And they didn't "lose" that support either. We kicked them out of our party in 1968 and sent them packing when Texan President Lyndon Johnson, a consummate Politician who was never a culturally tolerant man, forced through the Civil Rights act for the sole purpose of ridding the party of the uneducated biggots in the south. They all flocked to the Republican Party, and look at the havoc they've been causing there. It was a masterful stroke full Johnson's part.

Ooooookay!

That is what childhood is built on, sitting around in rubble holding a snake like everything is calm. Bet mum and dad's first port of call to protect their child was a gun tucked in their back pocket. Americans thought that they have it bad under Obama. I just wonder how many wars America went to when people were living the life of Riley back in the 90s?

Caroline Cole is proof Florida is a nasty state.

And yet, Baracker Barma has time to jet into Britain giving us the benefit of his wisdom, you have had 8 years to sort this stuff out, go home Mr Failure...
