AAA pulls back from offering insurance in Florida, following Farmers

You are being downvoted unfairly. There is greed at play, but there is math and economics as well.

The state could also help by reviewing building codes and infrastructure to make the losses due to hurricanes less severe but, with Florida republican votes not understanding the benefits of government helping address externalities for the benefit of everyone, there's no chance the situation will improve there...

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

This is the consequence of the fed raising interest rates and companies finding it much harder to find money to pay salaries and operating costs. So companies have to actually seek profit or go bust and CEOs and board of directors are getting desperate and showing how little they understand what makes their products great.
