So in a twisted way he’s right? Florida’s is where insurance goes to die?

Fingers crossed he'd give his best attempt

No they'll just find a way to make it legal to arrest liberals for merely disagreeing with them

Ugh, I only have one of those qualities. :-(

What sucks though is it works on their base. That's how dumb they are. Those are some scary people with amygdala's the size of grapefruits. Real reptilian.

It's pretty on-brand for any insurance company to fiercely reject liberal ideology. I mean, liberals endorse socialized medicine and a wealth tax, which directly threaten the existence of the health insurance sector and threaten record profits across the board for insurance companies.
But, "wokeness" isn't why their leaving Florida, they're leaving Florida because the full blown climate crisis caused by the candidates and policies they endorse that has made it impossible to make any meaningful profits in the state.

Yeah, fascism needs an enemy to function and the brilliance of "wokeness" is that it is so versatile.

"Insurance companies are leaving Florida, it absolutely is the fault of those leftis. They probably cancelled their own insurance policies, and the insurance companies were forced to cancel Florida. Don't be mad at us, be mad at them."

You're not wrong, but it actually gets worse than that. Florida specifically has made an ever increasing hostile environment for home owners insurance companies specifically. The way the Florida laws work make it very easy for rampant fraud to happen. Florida home owners basically know that you should never pay to replace your own roof, that's what insurance is for. Every time there's the lightest hailstorm or tropical storm you'll have storm chasers handing out fliers in neighborhoods promising to get your roof repaired at very low prices. These companies then turn around and essentially sue the insurance companies. This is just one of the ways that it's become unprofitable to run insurance in FL, but there's many and FL legislature is fighting to make it worse every day.

So CA is a bit different. The state rules require the premium be priced basically looking back at the last 20 years of actual sustained losses in the area. That seems like a good consumer rule to prevent price gouging but State Farm are (probably quite reasonably) saying that with the increased risk due to climate change and the increased rebuild cost, they can't square those numbers.

I do wonder about Farmer's decision though, because as I understand it, in FL, they aren't similarly restricted and could price their policy however they need to balance the numbers. Perhaps PR-wise it's easier to leave the market than double everyone's prices. It's definitely a vicious cycle though, as more insurers leave the market, this risk will get concentrated on fewer and fewer players and their catastrophe models will show their increased risk and so on..

Maybe. But his audience that laps this absurd BS up? Definitely.

The US has a conservative party and a reactionary party.

Having both friends and enemies that don't really exist benefits fascism. That's why they rail against Jewish neo-marxist pedophile cabals and why they defend the unborn but drop actually children like hot rocks. They don't care about reality at all, because reality doesn't serve them. They care about shaping narratives where a powerful enemy is waiting in the wings and you need to give the fascists more power to protect the sweet, delicate babies from the enemy.

The conservative attitude to climate change would indicate as such, yes ;p

I'm pretty sure you just wrote down the tenets of conservatism there.

They haven't changed anything since 2016.

Pretty much. Give it about 15 months and the immigrant caravans juuuust across the border about to take your jobs and guns will likely come up again in the song rotation. Oh and they’re bringing child labor back so going with some deep cuts as well.

I'm sorry, you seemed to have posted facts. Please be advised that the Florida government is a designated fact-free zone, so those aren't allowed.

So next target will be NOAA. Those evil "Letter People" are obviously using all of the Jewish Space Lasers to send trans hurricanes to attack Florida.
