What impact is climate change going to have on the insurance market? Florida's insurance market is teetering, Cali's is seeing challenges, watch this space people!!!!

Sarah Bee @SassyClassy0884'State Farm said it made this decision because of “historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure and a challenging reinsurance market,” the company said in the release'02:23 PM - May 28, 2023
The irony is real & very worrying when even Ins. Co's are saying it 💯

Sage advice. How this debt ceiling compromise plays out remains to be seen. I always find Beau practical & sober-minded in his take on things. Tho he doesn't address what freeze on spending for 2 yrs means, other than to say future Congress should still be able to appropriate funds diff if choose 🤷

none of our national politicians are the same class as us. do you make +170K/yr w/cadillac plan health benefits for free, on top of a bank acct w/ anywhere from 250K to multimillions that you can use to travel, lodge, and dine by qualifying it as campaign-related? Speaking fees? Book deals? $$$$$

Folks...if the Dems held the house, not only would the debt celling had been raised, it'd likely been eliminated outright. We have a ton of work to do to win back the house, and keep the senate, and the white house. We also have a ton of work to do THIS YEAR to rid state/local seats of MAGA/GOP.
11:26 PM - May 27, 2023
Point very well-taken. I raise the points not out of a spirit of worry, but to question dem leadership's commitment to low income & working class folk... to question whether we could get a better dem candidate than Biden. But i am also like you 🤷🏽♀️ cuz ppl aint paying attention

✨Witchy Woman✨ @wicked_wiccan76anything is possible so imo the more important question would be is worrying about this going to change anything or do anything positive for you?10:41 PM - May 27, 2023
worrying is a rocking chair it gives you something to do but it don't take you nowhere 🤷🏽♀️
10:51 PM - May 27, 2023
Democratic lawmakers are going to very begrudgingly vote 4 this becuz they don't want to tank the economy. But this compromise is going to hurt low income & working class people. Ex. govt. aid for student loans freezes while college gets more expensive. Meanwhile, wealthy get richer

Stephen Michael @stephenreports“The agreement represents a compromise, which means not everyone gets what they want. That’s the responsibility of governing,” Biden says. “Our negotiating teams will finalize legislative text and the agreement will go to the United States House and Senate.” #Politics10:10 PM - May 27, 2023

So if nondefense spending stays flat & inflation is 6% isn't that a cut in spending (seeing as it would normally go up at least a little to keep up w/inflation)? How do you keep spending flat when the country is growing every year? Ex. there will be more needing medicare in 2024 than 2023 bcuz aging

4_FSake @4F_Sake"CBS News learned that the agreement raises the debt limit for two years and keep non-defense spending flat, at 2023 fiscal year levels, for two years as well. Non-defense spending would then increase by 1% in the 2025 fiscal year. "09:50 PM - May 27, 2023

makalani bandele @makbandeleThe debt ceiling crisis is Biden's defining moment. How much will he concede to the Republicans? Which part of his political base will he throw under the bus? If history is a guide, it will be Black people. He will point to the indiviual black people he appointed while his policies hurt the majority01:10 PM - May 27, 2023

I am trying to make people think critical. No politician or politcal party gets to operate w/o scrutiny & critique. Since Clinton democratic admins have gone a long way to appoint Af-Am to positions in govt, but at the same time their policies have done little to change the lives of avg black folk

Michelle Has Time Today Schultz @TachiThe point of spouts like that one isn't to engage people in discussion. The point is to inject chaos. If just one person sees that spout and buys into what's said then the spout has done its job.02:20 PM - May 27, 2023

Ok. Uu seem to have forgot how Biden folded during Thomas's confirmations hearing & left Anita Hill looking like a liar. U forget his support of the Crime Bill. Are u following the Debt ceiling negotiations? Repubs want to undo everything Dems did in the last 2 yrs. What does a compromise look like?

Michelle Has Time Today Schultz @TachiYou know the right is well aware that the Black community (specifically Black women) is the base of the Dem party. They understand our power so have made it a point a long while ago to plant seeds to sprout doubt and distrust. Beware of ANY ACCOUNT spouting shit like the one below.02:14 PM - May 27, 2023

The tax cuts that were supposed to pay for themselves, even boost the economy and shave trillions off the national debt.
The same tax cuts that they had to break from regular order to get passed. Now they are breaking from regular order to get the $$ from SS/SSI, SNAP, medicare et al to pay for it

The definition of white is expanding again. In order to maintain white supremacy in the US, white people will need to begin incorporating white-passing & white adjacent Latinx folk into the family of whiteness. The okey-doke only changes form, it is never destroyed.

Uncle Sugar @Uncle_SugarThe interview exposes the weakness of CNBC David probably feels this was hard hitting, but juxtapose it w/ Sam's questions & it's anything but, I'll give David credit for airing this bit of insanity, Musk saying he doesn't care how much money he loses defending white supremacy frames it quite nicely04:38 AM - May 18, 2023

Trump did say a few things that I'm sure Jack Smith eagerly jotted down which were first Collins got him to acknowledge that MAGA basically follows his everyone word & said "I know I have power over them.." that stand in direct contrast to him opining he had no idea of what they'd do at the Capitol

I see my fears coming to pass. The sheet is coming off the racism/white supremacy in the Latinx community. On their way to being the largest ethnic group in the US, many want to be white so bad they are willing to join forces w/white supremacy like European immigrants did in the early 20th century

I really hope u r right. Anecdotally speaking, I have 3 kids from 17-21 & they like their friends dont pay much attention to politics. The corruption & inanity of it all turns them off. I am constantly in their ear about how much those politics determine laws that impact them. Hard 4 them 2 see it.
