Soaring hurricane-cover premiums are bad news for the state’s homeowners – and Ron DeSantis is accused of dragging his feet
One major difference between Florida and California; Florida passed laws banning policies based on climate change. As in, the government there cannot plan for it, and insurers have to pretend it’s not happening to operate in the state.

The state government under DeSantis is telling Florida “this is normal” while streets melt and the world burns.
Wait bruh WTF? What the shit is this?
