no I googled "why is insurance so expensive in Florida", because you said so. I was curious and it turns out you were correct for the most part. I already assumed because of all the people moving to Florida and because of the storms.

You know who's moving to Florida? MIGRANTS. You know who are moving out? Actual citizens. Maybe if you lived there, you would know that but you are on a fukking island trying to tell us what's really happening. Your words are absolute shit on this subject.

[Mac4Lyfe]

ya you did infer it. You are bullshitting again. DeSantis is the best governor in the country. You are addicted to failure and attracted deception.

I didn't infer shit. I said this disaster has happened on his watch and his policies have exacerbated the problem. You post about shit you have no clue about. Desantis is robbing Florida blind and slowly destroying the state. Folks are moving out of the state in droves. What other governor of Florida have had this happen? He is so concerned about blaming others, calling everyone that doesn't agree with him WOKE, and is asleep at the wheel while the car is driving off the road. Best Governor. You are a dumb ass. Stay in your lane.

Just google - Why are people leaving the state of Florida

[DwightShrute]

You Googled that the AVERAGE Floridian is paying $2,500 a year. That is horseshit. Like I said previously. PLEASE find me someone paying less than $2,500? Maybe for a parking lot but not for property with a house on it. And if you are not homesteading, you are really going to get fukked. Folks that own their homes are just not insuring them at all and rolling the dice.

So you don't think it's a fukking mess? What are you actually saying? Look at what you just wrote and please explain to us what the fukk you just said? I said insurance in Florida has gotten ridiculous. I know it first hand. You then posted some shit about it being because of hurricanes, when we've been having hurricanes for fukking decades. Do you think hurricanes ONLY hit Florida? We've had more hurricanes in TX and LA.

I didn't say it's all DeSantis' fault but it's happening on his watch and his policies have added to the shit storm. You said you googled but do you actually read? DeSantis has put money in front of helping Floridians. His dumb ass will be voted out of there in 2026.

The role of political contributions raises some eyebrows. It's been reported that Gov. Ron DeSantis and his associated political committee have received nearly $4 million from insurance industry stakeholders, according to the AFT. This figure balloons to nearly $10 million when contributions to the Republican Party of Florida are accounted for. The alignment between these donations and policies that seemingly favor insurers over homeowners has led many to question the motivations behind the administration's actions.


DeSanctimonius has been lying...

https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2024/03/15/desantis-said-citizens-property-insurance-is-not-solvent-fact-check/

Plus the MOFO has been taking in millions of dollars while homeowners in FLA are getting fleeced.

https://theintercept.com/2023/05/03/ron-desantis-insurance-industry/

When pressed for solutions, Desantis told Florida homeowners to RELAX, everything will be okay, while their insurance premiums, tripled, quadrupled.

Florida has had hurricanes for centuries. WTH are you talking about. Please find someone paying less than $2,500 on insurance. Your information is shit. People are selling homes like I did and getting the hell out of dodge. The biggest increase is because of insurance fraud and little competition because companies are also getting the hell out.

dude, I just Googled it. You can do the same.


Also, why is this DeSantis' fault?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Its not DeSantis' fault there are hurricanes. Why is it his fault may I ask?

The average cost of homeowners insurance in Florida is $2,490, which is slightly lower than the national average of $2,511. In South Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, premiums average closer to $4,000 annually because of the elevated risk of hurricane damage.Aug 6, 2024

The report blames severe weather, inflation and rising homebuilding costs. The average insurance rate is $2,377 annually, but homeowners nationwide are expected to see a 6% uptick in average premiums by the end of the year.May 20, 2024

As the summer approaches, homeowners are bracing for a season of extreme weather. Mark Friedlander from the Insurance Information Institute said while some want to blame it all on climate change, the insurance crisis is more likely due to population shifts, inflation, legal system abuse, and regulatory issues.Jun 6, 2024

A black business woman's perspective:

“I’m not going to be in a Democrat plantation. I’m not going to be on a Republican plantation. And this is what I love about President Trump, OK? He’s pulling us from both of those plantations, and he’s pulling us into this one big area, which is Americanism,” Price said.

Spot on. The economy hasn't been better. The only people not working don't want to work. The economy has put out over 2.5 million jobs in the last year. 300,000 in the last month alone. Shhhh, we need immigrants to hire into these millions of jobs.

Florida is a fukking mess. I had 2 homes there. Sold both the last year. You can't insure them. I was paying $1,800 a year on one house. The insurance went up to over $10,200 in one year. I shit you not. Insurance companies have just said fukk it and have bailed, leaving Floridians holding the bag. Thanks Desanctimonius.

America takes in about 1.2 million immigrants legally every year. Allowing millions to come in illegally every year lowers wages. Especially young people. Companies love it because they don't to pay as much. Young people cannot afford to buy a home.


The government has a duty to take care of its citizens first. Above anything else. Above fleeing Hondurans or anyone else.

The unemployment rate you guys quote is incomplete. First off, the monthly jobs reports has been modified to be much lower than what was announced several times now. Months later, they print a retractions saying the numbers were incorrect. Not every time, but more under Biden than ever. So that 300,000 number is almost surely is a lie. I mean their DEI hire press secretary keeps on repeating the lie that Biden has created over 12 million jobs since taking office. More jobs than any president in history. We all know that is a lie. There was a pandemic most of us remember and a ton of businesses were forced to close. Just because the pandemic ended and these businesses were allowed to hire back people to work, doesn't mean you can take credit that your administration created those jobs. They think you are all fukking morons. Believe the 4% all ya want. Its bullshit.

+++++++


A growing number of Americans are working multiple jobs just to make ends meet.


The latest jobs report from the US Department of Labor showed nearly 8.4 million people had multiple jobs.

A record 447,000 people working 2 full-times jobs.

Jul 11, 2024 — A new Bankrate survey has revealed that more Americans have been working two jobs
The number of Americans working two or more jobs has reached its highest level since the pandemic’s start, new federal data show, a trend that suggests more of us are feeling inflation’s pinch.

+++++++


You stop letting in all illegal immigrants. Wages will increase.

You stop allowing companies like BlackRock from buying up residential homes. You make it illegal for foreigners to buy land. A condo is fine. You imprison bankers, not bail out the banks.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Economy is doing awesome. Under 4 unemployment and help wanted signs still everywhere with wages up. You clowns were calling for a recession for years and i told you fools you were nuts. Out of the G7 countries our inflation is the lowest. You serial liars would just kill to have an economy like this. Just kill i said. Don't doubt me Cult. i am the one to say before the fact that the red wave was bullshit. I was the one who said when the rest of the country sees that losers Desantis's platform he will fall flat on his face (woke this woke that while Floridas insurance rates and rent was by far the highest in the country) while you clowns were calling him the 8th wonder of the world LMFAO.

The kid had him dead to rights. Amazing how Trump turned his head less than a second before the bullet reached him. If the kid goes center mass, Trump is out of the race.

20 year old kid is expendable to say the least. Also impressionable, depressed and easy to fool. Just let him know he'll be famous and if he gets away with it, he's sitting pretty for the rest of his life.

Don't you find it odd the the SS could see him plain as day and yet allowed him to get off 5 or more shots.?. Even if you don't, I do. Can't help it.

All good points and I do agree with you. My nephew was the battalion Scout Sniper in the Marines, if he had been on that roof, Trump or whoever else he may have wanted shot, would of had a bad day. He would not shoot Trump he is in his cult too, but I still love him like he was my on son.

lots of questions still remain. Are the SS that incompetent? Really? There are people still to this day, our own Hareeballs even, who question he was even shot or shot at. I guess that one guy in the crowd who was killed and the other 2 who were shot was also a ploy of some kind.

A strong elderly man who stood up after being shit yelling "Fight Fight Fight" is the last thing a party filled with weak men and angry women can stand. There are more interested in sanctuary cities where illegals can be safe after committing crimes. They are more interested in calling pedophiles MAPs (minior attracted persons) now because its mean to those who sexually assault children. They rather allow a dude to take a shit in the same bathroom as you daughter or walk around a women's locker room with his junk for everyone to see because he decided to identify as a woman all of a sudden.

who decides on what is misinformation or disinformation? There are many thing the media has said were true but in fact were not. Many times they were outright lies. Same goes for the government. Look at Biden as an example during his debates. He said Trump called Nazi's very fine people" and 51 former intelligence officials said the laptop was Russian disinformation. In the rare times he spoke in public just a few weeks ago, he said Trump told people to drink bleach and that he called dead soldiers "losers and suckers".

I rather have freedom of speech knowing there will be misinformation, rather than some government bureaucrat deciding on what is true or not. Of course threatening harm to someone is different.
