John Rubino highlights the growing risks within the homeowners insurance sector, suggesting it could trigger a broader financial collapse.
Insurance companies are struggling to stay profitable as natural disasters become more frequent and costly, while civil unrest adds further strain on property coverage.
Rubino warns that the economy is fragile, over-leveraged, and could face a more severe recession than the last one. He argues that inflation is a significant policy error and the reverse wealth effect could slow economic growth.
Insurance, he concludes, is crucial for a stable economy, but current trends are jeopardizing its viability.
