@marius_gs @shoq Property insurance is crazy expensive in Florida despite the fact that insurance companies are losing crazy amounts of money (or just outright going bankrupt or leaving the state) and DeSantis has been widely criticized for doing absolutely nothing about it.

In my case, when I bought my home, I could only find one company who would even write an insurance policy, and it's gone up by several hundred dollars each year since.

@charlotteclymer Meanwhile, a silicon valley stabbing murder, an issue used by right-wing actors to try to persecute homeless people, now appears to have been committed by a tech executive.

@jeffcliff @interfluidity Sometimes it's more important to make sure access is restricted to the right people than it is to make information easy to access. Military state secrets would almost certainly qualify for that category.

Also, wtf does "pro-ben" mean?

@shoq @Teri_Kanefield Wow. It's especially insane to listen to them complain over and over about the entire country calling them racists with absolutely zero self-awareness or reflection about why that might be happening. They really have drunk their own kool-aid.

@marius_gs @shoq I think he probably considered that option, then realized it might help fix the property insurance crisis and quickly aborted.

@lednabm @tc_morekindness @JaneETowle @shoq You might be surprised in which states that's allowed. Hint: 2/3 of the west coast.

In deep red states like Texas and Louisiana, the minimum is 16, but even that requires a lot of hoops to be jumped through (like emancipation and judicial approval).

To the best of my knowledge, in no state in the US can you get married under the age of 15 without special dispensation from the judicial system.

@tc_morekindness @lednabm @shoq They do. But, especially in Florida, the geezers outnumber them, especially after gerrymanders.

@lednabm @shoq That sounds like a solid plan, since damage to the earth's climate stops at state lines. /s

But, really, what we need is for young liberals to move here to offset the dying right-wing geezers and vote for better industrial regulation.

@lednabm @shoq ...and so will the people who didn't vote for them.
