    This is going to become the norm more and more. Florida is not the only state that suffers from regular natural disasters. The entire gulf coast is basically in a similar boat. California has its wildfires. Tornadoes are common in much of the midwest. All of these are going to be exacerbated by climate change in the next few years even more than we’ve already seen, and I can see several states becoming just as uninsurable as Florida as a result.

    This means that people are either going to have to move from those states, the government is going to have to nationalize homeowner’s insurance, or every natural disaster is going to be followed by a humanitarian crisis as thousands of families at a time see their homes destroyed and families bankrupted with no way to recoup their losses, forcing them to migrate to find other places to live.

    And it isn’t going to change because half of our country believes mother nature is woke and the whole thing would just go away if we just hate gay people harder.

        Don’t forget that the weekend is coming up. If you don’t say at least 20 Hate the Gays and sacrifice the rights of at least one trans child, preferably while kicking his puppy, your Saturday plans are going to be completely ruined.
