 Floridians: call your governor to complain!

Thanks to Republicans, Floridians hoping to recoup hurricane losses may be in for a rude surprise https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/9/11/2190745/-Thanks-to-DeSantis-Floridians-hoping-to-recoup-their-hurricane-losses-may-be-in-for-a-rude-surprise?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=main

Sooner or later, normal working people will either live in tents or leave Florida. I'd suggest they burrow underground but with the water table a foot below the surface (or a foot above at times), that's not an option. The state is steadily becoming less and less attractive, and all it would take is a couple of monster hurricane direct hits, and survivors would be bugling taps and heading north.
