California is set to approve a 22% increase in insurance premiums for State Farm, pending a judge hearing on April 8th. Corporations keep using disasters as an excuse to raise prices on the working class. Enough is enough! We need a new system!

My name used to be Jake and I changed it to something else for a lot of reasons I won't explain here.
I am kinda glad I did because everyone makes the "Jake from State Farm" reference about every 20 seconds for the rest of your life when your name is Jake, I currently live in LA near Palisades, and now everyone despises State Farm.
Quite glad to not have that attached to my name anymore honestly.

Even if #millenials can afford to buy a house, the fact that the big #insurance companies -- at least in #California -- aren't writing homeowner policies make such an investment really risky. I wish this article had mentioned these 2 things: 1) the fact that #StateFarm, #AllState, #Farmers, and #USAA are "putting a pause on these policies" (words used by agent) because of 2) #ClimateChange.
