1 year agoThanks for taking the time to write that, I kind of didnt expect that answer. I also find Kanji useful; as my kanji and vocabulary grows I’m starting to be able to intuit meaning from new jukugo–and maybe half of the time even correctly guess how it’s pronounced. After getting even just a little bit of experience with kanji reading in all kana is a painful experience; like the pokemon games for example. Cant tell you how many times I looked up a word in kana only to recognize I already know that word once I see the kanji in the dictionary.
It kind of reminds me of those Japanese on the street “can you write this kanji” interviews. Even though it’s hard to remember how to write sometimes, everyone seems to recognize them easily enough.
You’re not wrong, but it actually gets worse than that. Florida specifically has made an ever increasing hostile environment for home owners insurance companies specifically. The way the Florida laws work make it very easy for rampant fraud to happen. Florida home owners basically know that you should never pay to replace your own roof, that’s what insurance is for. Every time there’s the lightest hailstorm or tropical storm you’ll have storm chasers handing out fliers in neighborhoods promising to get your roof repaired at very low prices. These companies then turn around and essentially sue the insurance companies. This is just one of the ways that it’s become unprofitable to run insurance in FL, but there’s many and FL legislature is fighting to make it worse every day.
