    The insurance companies and homeowners have now been fully awakened to the impending disasters that will be caused by climate change. Florida is screwed, and they’re getting their wake-up call ahead of most other states.

    Same old story from republican politicians. Don’t have any answer to a problem? Blame wokeness / gay or trans people / whatever minority you feel like scapegoating today.

      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.”

      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.

    It’s always adorable at first- when all the right-wing clowns find a new boogeyman to prop up as then next thing to terrify their base. Until they start weaponizing their hate against it, that is.

    Then, sadly people die and oppressive laws get made.

      I’m not going to lose any sleep over weaponized hate against huge corporations. At least they are punching up for once.

    If we say he’s right and just pretend to go along with it, will he dismantle the insurance industry for us?

    Lol. Big surprise when an insurance company is going to act like an insurance company. “You aren’t taking the necessary steps that our insurance requires, so we’re not going to cover you.” That’s how it goes. Plus if Patronis just seems like he doesn’t know the difference between the political and social lines.

        How about folks like that stop hoarding their money, use their white, rich entitlement to help others for a fucking change, not sleep through their education that was handed them, and learn to give a fuck? Seems to cover all the bases you’re worried about, sport.

          Ok buddy. Go ahead and use people’s intrinsic properties (like race, or orientation, or gender, or medical status) as an insult. Very cool. Really supports the rest of the point you’re making

            Rich white entitled fucks, like the GOP, are the problem. Folks that take that point sideways in an attempt to negate it in are also the problem. Being a spin doctor to distract doesn’t clarify, but obfuscates. I don’t side with assholes like Patronis. I don’t side with traitors like the GOP. I don’t censor my disdain for those who suck rich folks off. It sounds more like a ‘you’ problem than a ‘me’ problem if that’s how you take what I said. Buddy.

              You are being a racist. You wouldnt speak of any other race or orientation like that. Thought I left racists on Reddit.

              The rest of the points, the gop, the rich, the corrupt, the entitled. Yeah. I hate them too. I hate racists too as well.

        i wish whiteness brought us all the riches but it just don’t work enough :(

        with that being said these rich entitled morons should be put into FEMA camp staffed by Obama death panels. That election promise was never delivered.

    So he’s saying that insurance companies are putting political ideology ahead of profit. I wonder if those companies’ shareholders agree. I suspect they do not.

      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.
