    Or maybe just maybe it’s really dumb for a company to insure a house that is going to burn down or flood every single year going forward…

      ¿Por que no los dos? (Why not both?)

      DeSantis and Abbott have both said that they are changing their laws and allowing certain things to happen in order to push “certain people” out of their states, they absolutely seem to want to push as many poor, minorities, and overall left leaning people out of the state, as Senator Rick Scott of Florida (former governor of Florida) said:

      “We actually don’t believe in socialism. Some people in our state lived under it, and we know people lived under socialism—it’s not good. It’s not good for anybody.” In a video posted to Twitter, Scott made it clear that socialists and communists are “not welcome in the Sunshine State” while reiterating a few points to really drill in the warning: “We like freedom, liberty, capitalism, things like that.”

      you’re talking specifically from the insurance company’s perspective.

      the people running florida and likely others with wealth to influence them are aiming for more. the insurance leaving the state is part of that.

      companies do not exist in a vacuum
