The Kinsey report in the big bad woke days of 1947 showed 37% of men had some sort of homosexual experience. It's not that we are more queer now, it's that it's more accepted to be open about it.

Home insurance in areas hit by repetitive disasters is going to be the number one housing affordability issue over the next 4 years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates. Florida in particular is going to have huge problems.
