Before @danieldenvir.bsky.social helped sweep elections across Providence, we worked through the backlog of listener questions for the Dig, which mostly asked about the nuts and bolts of socialist transition. We - or at least I - dutifully ducked them, but hopefully in a way that's interesting

New on The Dig: Mailbag! with Ben Mabie You asked for it and we've delivered - albeit a bit late, our apologies. Today, we're releasing our first mailbag episode, packed with questions from you - our beloved listeners. pod.fo/e/5ebd27

In Florida, insurers must run their disaster models against a public model so the state can ensure they're not overcharging their customers. But Florida is an outlier - most states just take the work of insurers. Listen to Madison Condon on our latest ep, Insuring Catastrophe pod.fo/e/5adbe8

The function of the insurance industry should be to keep us protected. But, as climate change strains insurer's operating models, profit is prioritised over protection. Listen to Moria Birss on our latest episode, Insuring Catastrophe pod.fo/e/5adbe8

Insurance companies tells us they're our 'good neighbor' - all to convince us that they'll protect us in times of need. But in reality, their top priority is profit - and the climate crisis is threatening their moneymaking model. Listen to Moira Birss on our latest episode pod.fo/e/5adbe8

Another banger from @thedigradio.bsky.social The same companies that jack up your premiums due to weather disasters driven by climate change are turning around and investing your money in the fossil fuel industries that are driving climate change. Capitalism will kill us all for profit.
