This is the pettiest piece of shit asshole that has ever held public office. There may have been worse politicians, although i'm hard pressed to name any, but i feel entirely safe saying this manbaby is the pettiest motherfucker i have ever had the displeasure of observing.
The essence of politics is compromise. desantis, and most if not all republicans, do not want to be politicians, they want to be dictators, who control all facets of life within their spheres of influence. The amazing thing to me, is that the fucking idiots who live in these places, vote for these pocket mussolinis, and bray non stop about freedom, are so eager to give up their own freedom.

More performative hogwash from our favorite fascist tool. It brings to mind the other fascist tool who used a Sharpie to lie about one hurricane and mess with aid to areas struck by two others.

The high cost of ignorance. High insurance rates are just one expense that Florida is especially vulnerable to due to human caused climate change. Factoring in losses in productivity, deaths, the gap between total losses and insurance coverage, loss in property values when flooding becomes more common and so forth, the State of Florida Man is living up to its reputation when it passes laws like the one you referred to in your post.

Why Florida insurance rates are going up

Florida insurance rates are going up and there seems to be no letting up. Find out what factors are causing premiums to skyrocket in this article
www.insurancebusinessmag.com www.insurancebusinessmag.com

According to data gathered by this report, home insurance is costing Florida homeowners an estimated $6,000 per year compared to the national average of $1,700, in what the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I) described to be a “man-made crisis.”

1. Reinsurance costs
One factor that makes Florida’s insurance sector unique is its heavy reliance on reinsurance. The market consists mainly of small and medium-sized insurers that operate exclusively in the state, filling the gap left by large national insurers that chose to limit their business in Florida because of the higher level of risks involved. For these local companies, reinsurance serves as a form of “shock absorber,” taking on the risks that are beyond what insurers are willing to assume.
Because of Florida’s susceptibility to natural catastrophes, reinsurance plays an essential part in the local insurers’ capability to manage risks and pay out claims.
Between 2006 and 2017, reinsurance costs in Florida went down as the state experienced only a few destructive storms. But these weather-related events have become stronger in recent years, primarily due to climate change. Among these is 2022’s Hurricane Ian, which has caused almost $114 billion in inflation-adjusted losses. This makes Hurricane Ian the third costliest hurricane in the country, trailing Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

4. Worsening catastrophe claims
Because of its shape and location, Florida is among the states in the US with the highest risk of exposure to natural catastrophes. And with climate change resulting in more frequent and devastating weather-related events, the risks facing Florida homeowners are magnified. Hurricane Ian is a testament to that.
As more destructive storms are expected to hit the state in the future, home insurers are forced to raise premiums to cover potential claims.
