  • Massive flooding of whole cities is simply not an insurable thing. Not even with all the reinsurers in the world can you pay out a city of millions. Most sane countries don’t even try.

    I live about 5m under sea level. Should de dikes breach and my polder flood (and I don’t die horribly), the insurance company pays fuck all. The Dutch state has a giant mountain of cash sitting by for cases like that.

    Of course, handing DeSantis a giant pile of emergency cash would just mean it instantly gets turned into bribes, so that wouldn’t work for Florida.
