    They’re leaving because of natural disaster risk, and that article also explains why some are leaving California.

    And Farmers recently announced that it will limit writing new home policies in California, citing wildfire risks and high costs. That move follows Allstate and State Farm, which also said they will not issue new home insurance policies in the state.

  Not at all. It’s not really speculation or opinion or projection. It’s not even a secret. They are known quite well at overall being horribly racist. They’re even racist against portions of their own country. Let alone foreigners.
