Watching the Texas floods on the Fourth of July while boomers deny climate change and give themselves a $1 trillion tax cut is beyond parody. Insurance companies—hardly known for liberal overreach—are bailing on Florida, parts of California, now maybe Texas. Not because they “believe” in climate change. Because they’re pricing it. The Chamber of Commerce and Abundance types are out here dreaming of cutting ribbons on new developments in floodplains while insurance companies are cutting losses. The invisible hand is slapping them across the face, but still treat it like a vibes-based attack on freedom. “Don’t tread on me,” they say, ankle-deep in seawater. And yet, the same duopoly that swears by free markets can’t seem to hear the fire alarm ringing from the heart of competition lalaland.
