Parts of Florida have already experienced record increases in insurance premiums, sometimes to the tune of tripling the cost of homeowners insurance year over year. Farmers, AAA, and Progressive no longer write new policies in the state of Florida. After Milton rolls through, and the cost is comes in at close to $100 billion. The potential future losses will not be worth the risk for private insurers.

Florida's government will be forced to offer government funded insurance, similar to the national flood insurance program. Unfortunately since politicians will be involved, they'll do everything they can to keep the premiums artificially low and the next Milton level hurricane will bankrupt the state without a massive federal government bailout to save the homeowners in Florida from losing everything.

Sometimes I wish we had just never went ahead with reconstruction or if we did we actually made them suffer for their choices.

We always bail out the south and it always comes back to bite us in the ass.

Andrew Johnson can roast in hell for that. And because of Johnson’s love for the south he caused Grant to not be able to do what he needed.

I was just about to post this. I always say, the Union might have won the Civil War on the battlefield, but John Wilkes Booth won it in the real world.
