Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s chief financial officer, is threatening to investigate insurance companies that leave the state. Patronis blames “wokeness” for the moves, not rampant lawsuits or climate change.

"It's all those woke hurricanes!"

Bless your heart, Jimmy.

Hey, maybe if the meteorological societies named the hurricanes
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John... then the insurance companies would
stay in Florida????

I don't think so.

A lot of Florida retirement homes are no more than 12 feet above sea level.
And those who bought them or built them, didn't give a second thought
about flooding.

I don't think that the insurance companies that refuse to underwrite
homes in the Gaza Strip, are "woke". They just realize that the radical
instability in the Middle East means that they could never set a premium
price, that would guarantee that they could make a profit.

It's pretty cold, the way they do it. If they think they can make a profit with a reasonable premium, they'll stay. If not, they pull out. It's not hurricane frequency; it's the increasing severity of storms. One really bad thing is the speed of the storms is falling, which means areas get socked longer and so more damage accumulates.

Welcome to the new reality.
