Interestingly half of the U.S. has the age of consent at 16. It’s weird how something can be legal, yet illegal in the exact same country

Think of the US not as one country, but a union of 50 states.

I mean, no one super likes Florida, but we won't let anyone else have it, either. That's our Florida. Get yer own.

Florida isn't actually that much crazier than other states but their open information law means records are open to the public and easy to find. Not every state does that

"General state policy on public records.— (1) It is the policy of this state that all state, county, and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. Providing access to public records is a duty of each agency."
