More insurance companies are fleeing the state because of the growing threat from natural disasters.

          Running the government like a business sure sounded a lot better when businesses took care of their people, huh?

        I mean, in their defense the insurance companies finally “woke” up to what a terrible business idea it is to operate in Florida.

      No worries, now the Florida government will offer their own insurance in retaliation, to show them corporates who’s boss.

      And that’s how, children, the capitalists became socialists.

        It already exists. It’s called Citizens Property Insurance and I’m one of over a million subscribers to it. Every private company is at least 20% more expensive or the state could sell my policy to the private company.

          Let me guess, the money goes to a private company who just happens to be run by a relative of DeSantis?

            Not exactly. Citizens has been around for a long time. If you want to find some of the usual GOP grift here in FL, take look at all DeSantis’ donors/college buddies/whatever that are now getting the legal work for defending the state against Disney’s lawsuits. That’s a lot of money…but that’s a separate issue from Citizens, which legitimately fills a need.
