It's ok, Trump and his fascist bootlickers have declared that climate change didn't exist. Surely that means that insurance companies won't raise prices.
- Surely that means that insurance companies won’t raise prices.
  That's crazy logic even for a Trumpologist. Companies always raise prices. Oil goes up? Raise the prices! Oil goes down? Raise the prices. Oil price stagnation? Raise the prices!
  
  Sure, but if climate change isn't real then there is no reason to raise prices because of climate change. Trump declared it.
This just in, 13% of surveyed Californians don't understand how home insurance works.
And none of those people actually know anything about the topic except that they're worried. Useless poll.
Is California the only sane place left in the US? I feel that every time I read something slightly positive its always California.
- No. We have a system which gives more power to less populated areas. Plenty of fairly reasonable people still; just don't have power except in a few areas
- Washington and New York occasionally do good.
- NYC might have a moderate socialist dem candidate for mayoral election this year. He crushed it in the primary. Even my straight male ass has a boner for him at this stage. And I don't even get to vote, I'm not American, nor do I live there lol
- Not concerned about climate change, but the raising costs. I guess they are still american after all.
Aww that's cute, they think the insurance companies will offer insurance at all.
What about the other 13%. Are they not concerned or do they not think it will rise?
- They are homeless.
- Not too concerned (7%) and Not at all concerned (5%) and I guess 1% to rounding error.
  Report
  
  Can’t forget the 4% lizard man constant.
The huge price tags the climate disasters keep racking up are going to make large swathes of the country uninsurable. CA is just leading the pack because things are more expensive overall there.
*87% of Californians point to climate change as a reasonable justification for their own extortion.
