#FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL REGULATION

[rjzimmerman]

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

At first glance, Dave Langston’s predicament seems similar to headaches facing homeowners in coastal states vulnerable to catastrophic hurricanes: As disasters have become more frequent and severe, his insurance company has been losing money. Then, it canceled his coverage and left the state.

But Mr. Langston lives in Iowa.

Relatively consistent weather once made Iowa a good bet for insurance companies. But now, as a warming planet makes events like hail and wind storms worse, insurers are fleeing.

Mr. Langston spent months trying to find another company to insure the townhouses, on a quiet cul-de-sac at the edge of Cedar Rapids, that belong to members of his homeowners association. Without coverage, “if we were to have damage that hit all 17 units, we’re looking at bankruptcy for all of us,” he said.

The insurance turmoil caused by climate change — which had been concentrated in Florida, California and Louisiana — is fast becoming a contagion, spreading to states like Iowa, Arkansas, Ohio, Utah and Washington. Even in the Northeast, where homeowners insurance was still generally profitable last year, the trends are worsening.

In 2023, insurers lost money on homeowners coverage in 18 states, more than a third of the country, according to a New York Times analysis of newly available financial data. That’s up from 12 states five years ago, and eight states in 2013. The result is that insurance companies are raising premiums by as much as 50 percent or more, cutting back on coverage or leaving entire states altogether. Nationally, over the last decade, insurers paid out more in claims than they received in premiums, according to the ratings firm Moody’s, and those losses are increasing.

The growing tumult is affecting people whose homes have never been damaged and who have dutifully paid their premiums, year after year. Cancellation notices have left them scrambling to find coverage to protect what is often their single biggest investment. As a last resort, many are ending up in high-risk insurance pools created by states that are backed by the public and offer less coverage than standard policies. By and large, state regulators lack strategies to restore stability to the market.

Insurers are still turning a profit from other lines of business, like commercial and life insurance policies. But many are dropping homeowners coverage because of losses.

Tracking the shifting insurance market is complicated by the fact it is not regulated by the federal government; attempts by the Treasury Department to simply gather data have been rebuffed by some state regulators. 

The turmoil in insurance markets is a flashing red light for an American economy that is built on real property. Without insurance, banks won’t issue a mortgage; without a mortgage, most people can’t buy a home. With fewer buyers, real estate values are likely to decline, along with property tax revenues, leaving communities with less money for schools, police and other basic services.

And without sufficient insurance, people struggle to rebuild after disasters. Last year, storms, wildfires and other disasters pushed 2.5 million American adults out of their homes, according to census data, including at least 830,000 people who were displaced for six months or longer.

Elon Musk essentially bought the election. And he had no ethical problem with deceiving voters in the process.

Elon Musk plowed at least $260 million into efforts to send Donald Trump back to the White House, new filings show – a massive infusion that makes him one of the largest single political underwriters of a presidential campaign and underscores the outsized influence of the world’s wealthiest person on this year’s election. Thursday’s filings with the Federal Election Commission show that the Tesla and SpaceX executive gave a total of $238 million to a super PAC that he founded this year, America PAC, which worked to turn out voters on Trump’s behalf in key states. But he also was the financial backer of other groups that cropped up in the final days of the election to support Trump, including one that spent millions on advertising to defend his record on abortion. It had sought to link Trump’s views on abortion to those of late Supreme Court Justice and liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Musk, through a trust that bears his name, donated $20.5 million to the group, named RBG PAC, on October 24, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. He was the sole donor to the group, which was formed in mid-October. The donation’s timing meant that Musk’s involvement was not disclosed until Thursday’s post-election filings with the federal regulators.

And Musk even promoted RFK Jr. in swing states where Brain Worm was still on the ballot.

According to the new filings, Musk also donated $3 million to the MAHA Alliance, a super PAC that ran stark ads in key swing states urging supporters of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to back Trump in the closing stretch of the campaign. Kennedy himself had ended his independent campaign over the summer and endorsed Trump. MAHA stands for “Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy’s spin on Trump’s MAGA catchphrase. Trump has now tapped Kennedy, one of the nation’s most prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists, to oversee the Health and Human Services Department.

If Musk invested $260 million in getting Trump elected, you can imagine what sort of return on that investment he is expecting.

A historical digression...

The ability to buy elections is a result of the odious Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission SCOTUS decision in 2010. Citizens United happened because George W. Bush was able to appoint Samuel Alito and John Roberts to the Supreme Court. And George W. Bush won in 2000 thanks to the idiotic third party candidacy of Ralph Nader. If just 538 of the 97,488 people in Florida who voted for Nader had instead voted for Democrat Al Gore, Bush would not have been elected and Citizens United probably would not have happened. And without Citizens United, it would be very difficult for billionaires like Musk to buy elections.

If you want to see what the GOP has in store for the rest of America, visit the Old South

Thom Hartmann

June 27, 2024 5:42AM ET

Today is the first Biden-Trump debate and many Americans are wondering how each will articulate their ideas for the future of America.

Republicans have a very specific economic vision for the future of our country, although they rarely talk about it in plain language: they want to make the rest of America look and function just like Mississippi. Including the racism: that’s a feature, not a bug.

It’s called the “Southern Economic Development Model” (SEDM) and has been at the core of GOP economic strategy ever since the days of Ronald Reagan. While they don’t use those words to describe their plan, and neither did the authors of Project 2025, this model is foundational to conservative economic theory and has been since the days of slavery.

The SEDM explicitly works to:

— Maintain a permanent economic underclass of people living on the edge of poverty, — Rigidify racial and gender barriers to class mobility to lock in women and people of color, — Provide a low-cost labor force to employers,

— Prevent unions or any other advocates for workers’ rights to function, — Shift the tax burden to the working poor and what’s left of the middle class while keeping taxes on the morbidly rich extremely low, — Protect the privileges, power, and wealth of the (mostly white and male) economic overclass, — Ghettoize public education and raise the cost of college to make social and economic mobility difficult, — Empower and subsidize churches to take over public welfare functions like food, housing, and care for indigent people, — Allow corporations to increase profits by dumping their waste products into the air and water, — Subsidize those industries that financially support the political power structure, and, — Heavily use actual slave labor.

For hardcore policy wonks, the Economic Policy Institute(EPI) did a deep dive into the SEDM last month: here’s how it works in summary.

Republicans claim that by offering low-cost non-union labor and little to no regulatory oversight to massive corporations, they’re able to “attract business to the region.” This, they promise, will cause (paraphrasing President Kennedy out of context) “a rising tide that lifts all boats.”

Somehow, though, the only people who own boats that rise are those of the business owners and senior executives. The permanent economic underclass is key to maintaining this system with its roots in the old plantation system; that’s why Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina have no minimum wage, Georgia’s is $5.15/hour, and most other GOP states use the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour and $2.13/hour for tipped workers.

It’s thus no coincidence that ten out of the 20 Republican-run states that only use the federal minimum wage are in the Old South.

Anti-union or “right to work for less” efforts and laws are another key to the SEDM; the failed unionization effort last month at the Alabama Mercedes factory was a key victory for the GOP. Unions, after all, balance the power relationship between management and workers; promote higher wages and benefits; support workplace and product safety regulations; advance racial and gender equality; boost social mobility; and have historically been the most effective force for creating a healthy middle class.

Unionization, however, is antithetical to creating and maintaining a permanent economic underclass, which is why, as EPI notes, “while union coverage rates stand at 11.2% nationally, rates in 2023 were as low as 3.0% in South Carolina, 3.3% in North Carolina, 5.2% in Louisiana, and 5.4% in Texas and Georgia.”

Unions also make wage theft more difficult, essentially forcing government to defend workers who’ve been ripped off by their employers. That’s why Florida doesn’t even have a Department of Labor (it was dismantled by Republican Governor Jeb Bush in 2002), and the DOLs in Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina no longer bother to enforce wage theft laws or recover stolen money for workers.

Another key to the SEDM is to end regulation of corporate “externalities,” a fancy word for the pollution that most governments in the developed world require corporations to pay to prevent or clean up. “Cancer Alley” is probably the most famous example of this at work: that stretch from west Texas to New Orleans has more than 200 refineries and chemical plants pouring poison into the air resulting in downwind communities having a 7 to 21 times greater exposure to these substances. And high rates of cancer: Southern corporate profits are boosted by sick people.

Between 2008 and 2018, EPI documents, funding for state environmental agencies was “cut [in Texas and Louisiana] by 35.2% and 34.8% respectively.… Funding was down by 33.7% in North Carolina, 32.8% in Delaware, 20.8% in Georgia, 20.3% in Tennessee, and 10% in Alabama.”

To keep income taxes low on the very wealthy, the SEDM calls for shifting as much of the taxpaying responsibility away from high-income individuals and dumping it instead on the working poor and middle class. This is done by either ending or gutting the income tax (Texas, Florida, and Tennessee have no income tax) and shifting to sales tax, property taxes, fees, and fines.

Nationally, for example, sales taxes provide 34.4% of state and local revenue, but in the SEDM states that burden is radically shifted to consumers: Tennessee, for example, gets 56.6% of their revenue from sales tax, Louisiana 53.3%, Florida 50.9%, Arkansas 49.6%, Alabama 48%, and Mississippi 45.5%. Fees for registering cars, obtaining drivers’ and professional licenses, tolls, traffic and other fines, and permits for home improvements all add to the load carried by average working people.

Republicans argue that keeping taxes low on “job creators” encourages them to “create more jobs,” but that old canard hasn’t really been taken seriously by anybody since Reagan first rolled it out in 1981. It does work to fill their money bins, though, and helps cover the cost of their (tax deductible) private jets, clubs, and yachts.

Another way the SEDM maintains a low-wage workforce is by preventing young people from getting the kind of good education that would enable them to move up and out of their economic and social class. Voucher systems to gut public education, villainization of unionized teachers and librarians, and increasing college tuition all work together to maintain high levels of functional illiteracy. Fifty-four percent of Americans have a literacy rate that doesn’t exceed sixth grade, with the nation’s worst illiteracy mostly in the Old South.

Imposing this limitation against economic mobility on women is also vital to the SEDM. Southern states are famous for their lack of female representation in state legislatures (West Virginia 13%, Tennessee 14%, Mississippi and South Carolina 15%, Alabama and Louisiana 18%), and the states that have most aggressively limited access to abortion and reproductive healthcare (designed to keep women out of the workplace and dependent on men) are entirely Republican-controlled.

Perhaps the most important part of the SEDM pushed by Republicans and Project 2025 is gutting the social safety net. Wealthy rightwingers have complained since FDR’s New Deal of the 1930s that transferring wealth from them to poor and middle-class people is socialism, the first step toward a complete communist tyranny in the United States. It’s an article of faith for today’s GOP.

Weekly unemployment benefits, for example, are lowest in “Mississippi ($235), Alabama ($275), Florida ($275), Louisiana ($275), Tennessee ($275), South Carolina ($326), and North Carolina ($350)” with Southern states setting the maximum number of weeks you can draw benefits at 12 in Florida, North Carolina, and Kentucky, 14 in Alabama and Georgia, and a mere 16 weeks in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

While only 3.3% of children in the Northeast lack health insurance, for the Southern states that number more than doubles to 7.7%. Ten states using the SEDM still refuse to expand Medicaid to cover all state residents living and working in poverty, including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas.

The main benefit to employers of this weak social safety net is that workers are increasingly desperate for wages — any sort of wages — and even the paltriest of benefits to keep their heads above water economically. As a result, they’re far more likely to tolerate exploitative workplace conditions, underpaid work, and wage theft.

Finally, the SEDM makes aggressive use of the 13th Amendment’s legalization of slavery. That’s not a metaphor: the Amendment says, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” [emphasis added]

That “except as punishment for crime” is the key. While Iceland’s and Japan’s incarceration rates are 36 for every 100,000 people, Finland and Norway come in at 51, Ireland and Canada at 88, there are 664 people in prison in America for every 100,000 people. No other developed country even comes close, because no other developed country also allows legalized slavery under color of law.

Fully 800,000 (out of a total 1.2 million prisoners) Americans are currently held in conditions of slave labor in American jails and prisons, most working for private prison corporations that profitably insource work and unfairly compete against normal American companies. Particularly in the South, this workforce is largely Black and Hispanic.

As the ACLU documented for the EPI, “The vast majority of work done by prisoners in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas is unpaid.” Literal slave labor, in other words. It’s a international scandal, but it’s also an important part of this development model that was, after all, first grounded in chattel slavery.

The Christian white supremacist roots of the SEDM worldview are best summed up by the lobbyist and head of the Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution, Vance Muse — the inventor of the modern “right to work for less” model and advocate for the Southern Economic Development Model — who famously proclaimed in 1944, just days after Arkansas and Florida became the first states to adopt his anti-union legislation, that it was all about keeping Blacks and Jews in their places to protect the power and privileges of wealthy white people.

So, if you want to see what Republicans have in mind for the rest of America if Trump or another Republican becomes president and they can hold onto Congress, just visit the Old South. Or, as today’s MAGA GOP would call it, “the New Model.”

The Supreme Court unanimously handed the National Rifle Association a win Thursday in the gun rights group's effort to revive a 2018 First Amendment lawsuit accusing a New York official of causing damage to the NRA's relationships with banks and insurers.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a unanimous opinion that found the NRA "plausibly alleged" that Maria Vullo, a former superintendent of New York's Department of Financial Services, illegally retaliated against the pro-Second Amendment group after the Parkland, Florida, high school mass shooting that left 17 people dead.

The question before the justices was whether Vullo used her regulatory power to force state financial institutions to cut off ties with the NRA in violation of constitutional First Amendment protections.

Vullo, who worked in former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration, said her regulations targeted an insurance product that is illegal in New York, which is dubbed by critics as "murder insurance." In essence, such insurances are third-party policies sold via the NRA that cover personal injury and criminal defense costs after the use of a firearm.

"Here, the NRA plausibly alleged that Vullo violated the First Amendment by coercing DFS-regulated entities into disassociating with the NRA in order to punish or suppress gun-promotion advocacy," Sotomayor, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, wrote in her decision.

Although the gun rights group is typically involved in litigation surrounding the Second Amendment, the case marked an unusual departure to a First Amendment claim that even had backing from the American Civil Liberties Union, which has historically targeted the gun rights group in other cases before the high court.

The result of the case means the NRA can continue its lawsuit against Vullo.

Justices Neil Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson penned separate concurrences.

Understanding Bad Faith Insurance Practices in Florida, New Jersey, and New York

What is Bad Faith Insurance?

Bad faith insurance practices involve an insurer's intentional refusal to honor its contractual obligations to the policyholder. This occurs when an insurance company fails to act in good faith and fair dealing, which it is legally required to do. Bad faith can be both first-party (directly against the policyholder) and third-party (against a party making a claim against the policyholder).

How Does Bad Faith Occur?

Bad faith can occur through various deliberate actions by the insurer, including:

Misrepresentation of Policy Terms: Insurers may intentionally misrepresent the terms of the policy to deny coverage.

Improper Investigation: Conducting a biased or incomplete investigation to justify denying a claim.

Unreasonable Denial or Delay: Denying or delaying payment without a reasonable basis.

Lowball Offers: Offering settlements far below the claim's actual value.

Florida Law

Under Florida Statutes §624.155, an insurer can be held liable for bad faith if it fails to settle claims when it could and should have done so, had it acted fairly and honestly toward its insured and with due regard for their interests.

New Jersey Law

In New Jersey, the "fairly debatable" standard applies, meaning the insurer must demonstrate a reasonable basis for denying a claim. The case of Pickett v. Lloyd’s, 131 N.J. 457 (1993), is a pivotal ruling that requires insurers to justify their actions reasonably.

New York Law

In New York, proving bad faith requires showing that the insurer engaged in egregious conduct or a pattern of unfair practices, as established in Pavia v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co., 82 N.Y.2d 445 (1993). This case demonstrates the high burden of proof required to establish bad faith.

What to Do If You Suspect Bad Faith

If you believe your insurance company is acting in bad faith, take the following steps:

Understand Your Policy: Review your insurance policy to understand your coverage and rights.

Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all communications with your insurer, including emails, letters, and phone calls.

File a Complaint: You can file a complaint with your state's insurance regulatory agency. In Florida, this is the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation; in New Jersey, it's the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance; and in New York, it's the New York State Department of Financial Services.

Seek Legal Advice: Consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in insurance bad faith claims. They can help you understand your rights and take appropriate legal action.

State-Specific Tips

Handling bad faith insurance claims varies significantly depending on the state.

Each jurisdiction has its own laws, procedures, and standards that affect how these cases are approached. Below, we provide specific tips for Florida, New Jersey, and New York to help you effectively address bad faith practices in your state. These tailored insights will help you take appropriate action and protect your rights based on your location.

Florida Tip

In Florida, policyholders have the right to file a Civil Remedy Notice (CRN) with the Department of Financial Services. This notice gives the insurer 60 days to resolve the issue before a lawsuit can be filed (Fla. Stat. §624.155).

New Jersey Tip

In New Jersey, keeping meticulous records of all interactions with the insurer is crucial for building a strong case under the "fairly debatable" standard. Refer to the case Pickett v. Lloyd’s, 131 N.J. 457 (1993), for guidance on how courts assess these claims.

New York Tip

In New York, due to the high burden of proof required to establish bad faith, it is essential to gather substantial evidence of the insurer's egregious conduct or pattern of unfair practices. Refer to Pavia v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co., 82 N.Y.2d 445 (1993) for more details on the legal standards applied in these cases.

Fuck even the REPUBLICANS recognize this as a serious fuck up and have been massively criticizing DeSantis over it.

I mean the most obvious reason is that, regardless of whatever statement Disney may have made publically, the corporation was likely going to be footing the bill for a lot of Republican campaigns in the future. Whatever criticism the company may have said against Floridas insanely archaic and prejudiced "dont say gay" law was showmanship pushed forward by Disneys PR and marketing departments and literally everyone knew that.

However, for whatever reason, DeSantis was convinced that sticking it to the largest employer in his home state and a major funder of the Republican party was a great way to make a splash and propel himself forward as a potential candidate for president. Tbh I think he and the Florida legislature were trying to make him Trump 2.0 given how Trump has been notorious for flagrantly defying his own party, however DeSantis doesnt have the cult following Trump has nor the reputation to believably pull off the bullshit. So now hes in deep shit.

Even if DeSantis somehow managed to walk away from this unscathed, the Republicans are likely not going to want to touch him as a serious presidential candidate because as a party they rely heavily on the image of being pro-business and anti-regulation. As in, they aim for as little government interference in business as possible. This works for them because it results in a lot of businesses footing their campaigns. Like Trump destroyed the Republicans public reputations a lot, and went after "woke capitalism" as they like to call it, but at the end of the day he largely presented himself as pro-business and anti-regulation so he was able to net the financial support the republicans needed.

And DeSantis's actions are endangering ALL of that.

Like, this whole thing has been a clusterfuck legally, morally, socially, and politically for everyone in the state of florida as well as further damaging both the the governors and Republicans political reputations to literally no ones benefit.

(Except maybe disney who gets to flounder in the public eye as perceived victim of 'govt overreach' but thats a discussion for another day)

Engage with local real estate experts to gain insights and navigate the process smoothly. Whether for residential, commercial, or agricultural purposes, investing in Florida land can yield substantial returns and provide a valuable asset in a thriving market.

Why Invest in Land for Sale in Florida?

Investing in land for sale in Florida is a smart choice due to the state's booming real estate market, diverse landscapes, and robust economy. Florida offers numerous opportunities for investors, from residential developments to commercial properties and agricultural land. The state's growing population, tourism industry, and favorable climate make it an attractive destination for long-term investments. By understanding the market dynamics and potential growth areas, investors can capitalize on Florida's real estate opportunities.

Identifying Prime Locations for Land Investments in Florida

When considering land for sale in Florida, location is crucial. Prime areas include coastal regions, popular tourist destinations, and rapidly developing suburbs. Cities like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa offer excellent investment prospects due to their economic growth and high demand for real estate. Additionally, exploring emerging markets in smaller towns and rural areas can yield significant returns. Researching local infrastructure projects, zoning laws, and future development plans can help investors pinpoint the best locations for their land investments.

Understanding Zoning Laws and Regulations in Florida

Navigating Florida's zoning laws and regulations is essential for successful land investments. Different areas have specific rules regarding land use, building restrictions, and environmental protections. Understanding these regulations helps investors make informed decisions and avoid potential legal issues. Consulting with local planning departments and real estate attorneys can provide valuable insights into zoning requirements and ensure compliance with state and local laws. Thorough knowledge of zoning laws can enhance the value and usability of your land investment.

Evaluating the Potential Return on Investment (ROI)

Assessing the potential return on investment (ROI) is a key step when investing in land for sale in Florida. Factors influencing ROI include location, market demand, land development potential, and holding costs. Conducting a comprehensive market analysis and feasibility study can help estimate future property values and rental income. Additionally, considering the costs of land improvements, taxes, and maintenance is crucial for calculating accurate ROI. By evaluating these factors, investors can make strategic decisions to maximize their profits.

Financing Options for Purchasing Land in Florida

Securing financing for land investments in Florida involves exploring various options, including traditional bank loans, private lenders, and owner financing. Each option has its advantages and considerations. Traditional bank loans typically offer lower interest rates but may require higher credit scores and down payments. Private lenders and owner financing can provide more flexible terms but often come with higher interest rates. Understanding the pros and cons of each financing method can help investors choose the best option for their financial situation and investment goals.

The Role of Due Diligence in Land Investments

Due diligence is a critical process when purchasing land for sale in Florida. This involves researching the property's history, conducting environmental assessments, and verifying legal ownership and title status. Due diligence helps identify any potential issues, such as environmental hazards, legal disputes, or encumbrances that could affect the land's value or usability. Working with experienced real estate professionals, such as land surveyors, environmental consultants, and attorneys, can ensure thorough due diligence and protect your investment.

Developing a Long-Term Investment Strategy for Florida Land

Creating a long-term investment strategy is essential for maximizing the benefits of purchasing land for sale in Florida. This strategy should include setting clear investment goals, identifying target markets, and planning for future development or resale. Diversifying your land portfolio across different regions and property types can mitigate risks and enhance returns. Additionally, staying informed about market trends, economic indicators, and local development plans can help investors make proactive decisions. A well-defined investment strategy ensures sustained growth and profitability in Florida's dynamic real estate market.

Conclusion

Investing in land for sale in Florida offers immense opportunities due to the state's vibrant real estate market, diverse landscapes, and robust economy. By carefully selecting prime locations, understanding zoning laws, evaluating ROI, exploring various financing options, and conducting thorough due diligence, investors can maximize their potential returns. Developing a long-term investment strategy is essential for sustained growth and profitability. With the right knowledge and strategic planning, investing in Florida land can be a highly rewarding endeavor, providing both financial gains and valuable assets for future development or resale.

As climate change produces more extreme weather, insurers are losing money, even in states with low hurricane and wildfire danger. Across the country, insurers are facing more bad years than good years. If this trend continues, it could destabilize the broader economy.

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

The insurance turmoil caused by climate change — which had been concentrated in Florida, California and Louisiana — is fast becoming a contagion, spreading to states like Iowa, Arkansas, Ohio, Utah and Washington. Even in the Northeast, where homeowners insurance was still generally profitable last year, the trends are worsening.

In 2023, insurers lost money on homeowners coverage in 18 states, more than a third of the country, according to a New York Times analysis of newly available financial data. That’s up from 12 states five years ago, and eight states in 2013. The result is that insurance companies are raising premiums by as much as 50 percent or more, cutting back on coverage or leaving entire states altogether. Nationally, over the last decade, insurers paid out more in claims than they received in premiums, according to the ratings firm Moody’s, and those losses are increasing.

The growing tumult is affecting people whose homes have never been damaged and who have dutifully paid their premiums, year after year. Cancellation notices have left them scrambling to find coverage to protect what is often their single biggest investment. As a last resort, many are ending up in high-risk insurance pools created by states that are backed by the public and offer less coverage than standard policies. By and large, state regulators lack strategies to restore stability to the market.

Insurers are still turning a profit from other lines of business, like commercial and life insurance policies. But many are dropping homeowners coverage because of losses.

Tracking the shifting insurance market is complicated by the fact it is not regulated by the federal government; attempts by the Treasury Department to simply gather data have been rebuffed by some state regulators. To understand what’s happening in the insurance industry, The New York Times interviewed more than 40 insurance executives, brokers, officials and homeowners in a dozen states, and also reviewed financial records from insurers in all 50 states going back more than a decade.

Military families frequently incur significant costs to store and transport breast milk during moves. Whether it’s purchasing ice, dry ice, or special containers to keep the milk cold during long trips, these expenses can add up quickly.

As always, it is a matter of discerning which "law" applies to Autochthonous Americans or doesn't apply to you.  People are alarmed by new regulations being imposed by the "Corporate Transparency Act" (CTA) as of next Monday, January 1, 2023. 

This Act, like all legislative Acts, pertains only to federal business entities, corporate officials, and corporate employees. 

Are you a "federal" corporate business entity, corporate official, or corporate employee?  

Let's look at the actual list of who is liable for these new business reporting requirements: 

The CTA impacts federal reporting entities, corporations, limited liability companies, limited business partnerships, business trusts, and similar entities that are created or registered by filing documentation with a State of State [> Title 5, U.S.C.S. § 1501(2)] Secretary of State or Indian Tribal Office.  (Indian Tribal Offices are also under the British-connected Federal Municipal System.) 

CTA does not include unincorporated, unregistered, unlicensed, and exempted businesses that have not sought public bankruptcy protection or similar limited liability benefits, and therefore are not public entities. 

It does include non-profits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have filed paperwork with any State of State Secretary of State or registered their organizations as franchise corporations with any State of State Division of Banking and Commerce, etc. 

Bottom line, if you have been unwise enough to incorporate your business enterprises and sought "benefits" for your business from the Public, and then used layers of interlocking trusts and other mechanisms to hide your business relationships, launder money, collude in illegal asset protection schemes, and dodge taxes --- you are in a heap of trouble, boy.  

As of January 1, 2024, you have to report on your business relationships, ownership interests, etc., to FinCen, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, of the U.S. Department of Treasury (note, this is not the same as the U.S. Department of the Treasury, LOL). 

As of this past week, you were in a heap of trouble, anyway, as your corporations are basically dissolved if they were in any way attached to the British Empire --and most of the corporations in America were, because since the Civil War when the Corporation Craze started in America, the State of State organizations have all been British Territorial Government operations. 

Read that -- unknown to you, your post-Civil War Corporations created in America have all been registered or otherwise documented and created by a British Territorial Secretary of State's Office, not an American Secretary of State's Office. 

This goes back to the great Substitution Fraud that occurred right after the Civil War, when the British Territorial Government (which was one of our three Federal Subcontractors) declared a "state of emergency" and shoe-horned -- under force and color of law -- the people of each State to create new "State of State Constitutions" providing a service contract for British Territorial State of State organizations to come in and substitute for the American State of State organizations that existed prior to the Civil War.   

Prior to the Civil War, our State services were provided by American purveyors operated as, for example, [T]he State of Florida, Florida State.  After the above described maneuver, the same services were provided by British Territorial purveyors operated as, for example, [t]he State of Florida.  

The only difference that a person on the street could observe would be a change from "The" to "the", new signage, and some new personnel.  

All these organizations and all the organizations created by or registered by these and similar British-connected corporations (this probably means you, if you are an American corporation, limited liability company, yada-yada formed in this country after 1860) have been dissolved and their assets entered into receivership as of last week. 

So while reporting under the requirements of the CTA may have posed yet another reporting expense ---and if you were colluding, evading, or entangling in improper ways --- possible fines and other regulatory unpleasantness, there are bigger fish to fry. 

Don't worry about CTA or even the U.S. Department of Treasury. Worry about hauling your asses and assets out of the flaming dogpile. 

The only way you can do this is by lawfully converting your corporate business operations -- that is, voluntarily "nationalizing" your corporations to stand under the Law of the Land and the auspices of your Autochthonous American Government still standing on the land and soil of your country. 

Otherwise, your companies are unincorporated chattel assets, unprotected and liable for all the "public debts" run up against private assets for the past three centuries. 

This is because, ever since Queen Anne, the Brits have been operating their Monarchy as a shell game.  The Throne of England has stood vacant for three centuries, and that is a real problem, because in order to charter or register corporations -- a government must hold its sovereignty on the Land and Soil. 

And yes, the 💩 rolls downhill.  Because their Majesties haven't been operating in the proper Office and capacity and under the correct form of Law, they haven't had the power to create or register corporations this entire time.  

As a result, all the corporations formed under the auspices of Great Britain and the UK and most American Corporations, too, (because of the Substitution Scheme described above) stand dissolved and their assets are claimed by our unincorporated Federation of Nation-States, as the Preferential Creditor still standing. 

Under such a circumstance, former British Corporations, like their unwitting "American affiliates", may choose to lawfully convert their operations as American Corporations standing on the land jurisdiction of The United States of North America.  

Intent to function lawfully from now on may be established by a vote of the Board of Directors, Board of Governors, or other duly seated corporation officers. So long as they honor this expressed intent they will be given a reasonable amount of time to restructure and lawfully convert their operations. 

Respectfully yours,

The United States of North America
