Also, as #Hasanabi says, expect #insurers, #banks and #realestate companies to exploit the hell out of this situation. This will probably be the biggest case of gentrification in the history of the #US.
The #USGovernment needs to figure out a way to deal with this in an amicable way, except you know #Trump is a #NewYorkLiberal who took part in the gentrification of New York, so he'll rub his grubby little hands together - as he'll only see an opportunity to exploit.
The #California FAIR plan, a private pool of #insurers covering people who cannot otherewise secure #insurance for their homes, is the last one open after #fire burnt #Palisades to the ground. It is estimated payout costs to FAIR alone will be between $6-13bn, escept FAIR only has... $385 MILLION in reserves. WTF happened to the money? Confident other companies equally fucked off with no means of paying out. Welcome to #2025 Murica! https://www.channel4.com/news/how-la-fires-and-climate-change-are-fuelling-us-insurance-crisis

Today I learnt that old IT policies from #insurers and #Microsoft still enforce #PasswordRotation in organisations. It's like discovering that the monster under the bed is real - an age-old practice lurking in the shadows of modern IT security.
A low mileage #Mercedes #EV randomly caught #fire outside a house in #Northamptonshire #England - the family and their 4 #dogs were able to escape via the back door unharmed, but will be waiting 6 months for #insurers to approve repairs to the house (Mercedes are investigating and have provided them with a loan car in the meantime)

#Storms be damned, #Florida keeps building in #flood zones. The state constructed 77,000 new properties in high-risk areas since 2019, the most in the nation, according to an analysis by #climatemodeling done by First Street Foundation for the WSJ. The building binge is putting the real-estate industry, and the #banks that #finance it, on a collision course with #insurers. #hurricanes #flooding #housing #climatecrisis #environment #GOP #MAGA #disaster #realestate https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/storms-be-damned-florida-keeps-building-in-high-risk-areas/ar-AA1smsIo

#Judges set to hear #arguments in #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump’s appeal of his #civil #fraud #verdict
Trump is asking the #appealscourt to #reverse #Judge #ArthurEngoron’s #ruling in February that he #lied about his #wealth on #paperwork given to #banks, #insurers and others to make #deals and secure #loans. The #verdict cut to the core of Trump’s #wealthy, #businessman #persona.
The only thing #Trump said that made more impact were the 4 words he posted Sunday morning: I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!
Adding to the self-harm, #JDVance indicated that the Trump #healthcare plan [#concept] would allow #insurers to resume DENYING coverage for #PreexistingConditions. Trump himself proclaimed that he would address high #food prices by barring food imports—a policy guaranteed to RAISE #costs instead.
#Texas sued the #Biden admin in an effort to block a new rule that seeks to protect the #privacy of #women living in states that #BanAbortion who travel out of state for the procedure.
In a lawsuit filed on Wed in TX, the state asked a federal judge to strike down the rule, which prohibits #healthcare providers & #insurers from giving state #law enforcement authorities info about #ReproductiveHealthcare that is #legal where it was provided.

The complete #Enshitification of the very last of the very last of service oriented #Corporations both big and small has finally and utterly reached the last holdouts. Our #Providers and #Carriers are all uniformly crap. Our #FinancialInstitutions are all uniformly crap.Our #Insurers are all uniformly crap. The best you can hope for is an all out #NuclearWar that kills them all. The irony is that people have actually voted for worse things !
