Florida is facing monumental challenges on many fronts: Labor, climate, affordability, human rights, etc, etc,….

Ron DeSaste’s ridiculously desperate attempt to be the MAGAt “King” is an indicator that the rat wants to flee the sinking U.S.S. Florida and move to D.C.

Ron DeSaster AND the current MAGAt “King” know how bad things really are.

On the climate front, see here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/07/10/florida-ocean-temperature-heat-records/

The current labor, human rights, and affordability crises have also been covered fairly well I’m the media. This recent insurance coverage exodus is just another canary in a coal mine event.

I just feel bad for all the decent, intelligent people who didn’t vote for the Ron DeSaster regime, but will be forced to suffer the effects long after the Cro-Magnon “Florida man” is gone.

Related to my previous post:

Isn’t it a strange coincidence that the no name REPUBLICAN mayor of Miami is also trying to flee Florida for D.C.

And REPUBLICAN Senator Tick Scott is also “considering” trying to flee Florida for D.C.

And of course the orange POS wants to flee Florida for D.C.

When will “little Marco” Rubio announce he’s considering fleeing Florida for D.C.

Hmmmm……

Why Florida's Inflation Is Now the Worst in the U.S.​

Just to add to the pile.

"Conservative" "leadership" at work.

Last month insurance giant State Farm announced that it would stop issuing new policies covering homes in California. The move follows several other companies including Allstate, American International Group and Chubb, that also quietly began withdrawing from the California home insurance market last year.Jun 14, 2023

Thanks for sharing. The influx of people flocking to Florida is having quite an impact on housing prices as the article notes.
“The average North Port home value is $361,621, up 1 percent over the past year, according to Zillow. The average Naples home value is $585,469, up 3.7 percent, and in Miami, it is $553,743, up 8.5 percent.”

Out in California, there is good news. With people fleeing for greener pastures and its population in decline, housing prices are actually dropping in most places. The average home in LA has plummeted 4.8% to a bargain basement average price of $916K. In San Diego, prices have dropped 1.1% to a mere $910K average. Up north in San Jose, prices have bumped up 1.2% to an average of $1.4 million and in San Francisco, they’ve dropped 6.7% with the average price now matching San Jose’s ridiculously low $1.4 level.

Bummer about Farmers pulling out of Florida. It could be worse though. State Farm and Allstate have exited California and Farmers has limited new policies.

Florida has very real problems regardless of your rush to gloat about blue states.

Housing prices, grocery prices, wages below the cost of living, the insurance market mess... and the Florida legislature and governor is more concerned with owning the libs than running the government. We can even add malaria to the list now. How fun.

 

[RoryN]

Florida's biggest problem is its people. Their large subset of racist morons who do things like drive jet skis in swimming pools and fuck alligators has been the laughing stock of the world for decades.

Their electoral sway has given them an overinflated sense of importance. They are about to get a wake-up call - a reckoning is coming.

 

[ll74]

Florida is just happy that our President gave them internet out at the multiple cult farms who were living off the grid. They no longer need satellite phones to plot their sacrifice to the savior.

 

[Bray123]

There's a simple but entertaining game to be played regarding Florida. Enter 'Florida Man' plus your birthday (month and day) into Google and see what comes up.

One such news story on my birthday relates to a man who jumped into a crocodile pit in St. Augustine whilst wearing Crocs footwear. Yes, he was bitten.

 

[Dribble]

I bet if you inject bleach you kill the malaria

To be fair, DeSantis has abandoned the state too.

To be fair, DeSantis has abandoned the state too.

And on mystery private planes, since I’m the transparent state, they hide where the funding comes from for his travel.

The sad thing...if communities were built differently, the insurance companies wouldn't be leaving in droves. It is the active choice to cut corners and ignore common sense building techniques.

I linked an example of this last hurricane. Sanibel and the city next to it was fucked. Not even a direct hit. But 5 miles inland...and a direct hit...a community built to withstand the inevitable didn't even lose power and no flooding occurred.

That's because right wingers would rather deny science and pretend that climate change isn't happening.

Well someone has to think of those poor poor shareholders.

This is the one. There are videos out there comparing the damage as well. Homes less than a mile away destroyed. Then here...they don't even lose power

How many stories do you have to pass to find one that attempts to “own the libs” like you do on a daily basis?

10:1? 20:1? Does each of those states take on their states biggest employer and get them to “respect” the Governor?

A lot because there are so many. I understand why you don’t like seeing them. You can always ignore if you want.

So, you do have to pass on many stories that don’t “own the libs” because are there are so many just to find the ones you want.

I had seen so many of the normal stories that show the dumpster fire that is happening is the places you hold with reverence, but I’m glad you are acknowledging it. First step is always acknowledging the problem.

So proud of you.
