If California won't do anything to clean up the fuel for wildfires, the insurers will do it for them

 

State Farm to stop accepting homeowners insurance applications in California due to wildfires, construction costs

Like a creepy neighbor, State Farm is there, targeting 5-year-olds, lol, but not for the time being

 The Chicago Tribune reports, here:

 

State Farm came under fire this week after a January letter recruiting 550 agents and employees to participate in the program by donating a three-book bundle to teachers, community centers and libraries was published online by Consumers’ Research. The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit educational group launched a campaign critical of the program, calling State Farm “a creepy neighbor” targeting 5-year-olds. ...

The GenderCool Project is an educational organization helping to “replace misinformed opinions with positive, powerful experiences” through the stories of transgender and nonbinary kids, said Jennifer Grosshandler, co-founder and executive director of the four-year-old Chicago-based nonprofit. Grosshandler, who said the organization began working with State Farm about a year ago on the voluntary program, was more conciliatory toward the insurance company. “We were disappointed to learn about the decision,” said Grosshandler. “The truth is that StateFarm has done really good and important work with the LGBTQ community."

Trust me, stupid State Farm Insurance agents are a thing now, so they might as well go with it
