Did you know there's a property insurance crisis in Florida? It's so bad, with rates skyrocketing and insurers refusing to do business there, that Ron "Don't Say Gay" DeSantis is threatening to call a special legislative session in May to deal with it — to the tune of who-knows-how-much-money-footed-by-the-taxpayers.
We have questions.
Casualty insurance rates are determined by smart, math-y dudes called actuaries who work with data and science, like flood-plain and fire-risk maps, neither of which can be altered with a Sharpie. So how are Republican know-nothings, who deny such data and science, supposed to be able to fix this crisis?
Property insurance has been a mess in Florida for 20 years. The Republicans have been in control in Tallahassee for more than 20 years. Why is it still a crisis?
Which voices will Republicans listen to as they grapple with this next month? After all, they govern by shutting off debate and denying people who are affected by their policies even a moment of input before they pass their ill-informed legislation.
It's obvious from the get-go that whatever "solution" they come up with, Florida Republicans will blame Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton when it doesn't work. So, two final questions: Why would any business or corporation consider relocating to this clown car of a state? Why would anyone want to buy a house and live there? We cats HISS.
