Despite their stupid gecko nonsense, #Geico #insurance recently reported a huge jump in quarterly profit on higher premiums.

When asked, insurers *say* it's because of too many claims, but this is not reflected in their earnings reports nor balance sheets. Since 2021, most are even reporting LOWER customer claims. The other big auto insurers, like #Allstate, #AmericanFamily, #StateFarm and #Progressive, have been pulling the same nonsense while making record profits.

Have your auto insurance rates gone up significantly over the last year or so?

Here's why: Shares of stock from insurance companies like #Travelers, #Progressive and #Allstate hit RECORD HIGHS after the companies announced yet another round of premium increases that they expect to cover BILLIONS of dollars *more* than the annual claims they expect to pay.

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 #WashingtonPost 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.
