-One group denies the existence of climate change. Another group accepts climate change as their lord and savior. What ya gonna do?

ridicule them both.

Climate change deniers don't deserve any help after climate change disasters.

Just like smokers don't deserve any health coverage for lung cancer.

This is why I can't tell the difference between speak and donner.

they're the same idiot posting nonsense then complaining when they read it posted by someone else.

just yesterday in fact. How can anybody put strings on aid? How do you know someone is a climate change denier? blah blah blah.....

well....I think anybody who lives along the coast is probably a climate change denier. They might claim otherwise....but they're really full of ----.

like almost anybody who lives in an area where wildfires are burning all the time.......

-Do they feel so entitled that they feel their cities deserve to be restored?

I think a lot of them do.

Politicians never come there and do anything except pander to them for their ------ lot in life and blame their opponents for it.

-Republicans remind me of domestic abuse victims who choose to remain with their abusive partner.

and that's different from folks who live in inner cities who vote predominately democrat?

They all make horrible choices that land them where they are.

It's not any better for them just because they vote for democrats.

It's generational poverty in both places......

"There was a time when I joked about wanting my house to burn down so I could collect insurance and rebuild.

But the reality is. It's not worth it."

especially when it's part of a much larger catastrophic event like these fires.

Every builder in LA is going to be extremely busy.....what do you think that does to prices?

It's going to cost a ton more to build those homes back than most people think.

I could tolerate a re-build if it was just my house that went down. availability of builders, materials, etc.....all in my favor if it's not a catastrophe.

-Why did insurance carriers pull out then?

carriers can be specific on how they "pull out". Maybe they didn't in that area, specifically.

The news will generalize it as "State farm non-renewed 5,000 policyholders, etc.." but nothing beyond that.

It's more targeted that people know. It's not just random.

And the main reason? the exposure scares the crap out of them or they can't get the rate they want because it has to be approved by the state.

California has been difficult to deal with according to the carrier reps I talk to......

I have had to deal with clients who suffered total losses but not so much on their homes.

businesses.....yes, I've had to hold hands through the process.

It sucks.

I can't imagine what those folks are going through in California.

We've been jabbing back and forth on this stuff in California when I know I've objected to similar actions when hurricanes or whatever hit red states.

It's just noise. I'm not truly critical of anybody in that situation.

My agency is a huge Nationwide partner and I've had my personal lines there for the past 17 years.

But this past Spring I moved it all to State Farm. 40% less. I have 5 cars.....3 youthful drivers, etc...it's not chump change.....

"How were they supposed to plan for that?

My house is insured by State Farm."

get out your policy out and I can explain you to how it works.

dwelling coverage
other structures
contents (70% of dwelling limit)
loss of use

those 4 coverages are where you get everything an insurance company offers to a home owner.

I'm not making that choice for you.

but you act like you take yourself extremely seriously.

You're eager to defend the indefensible and anybody who dares disagree you resort to calling them a "maga maroon".

again, call me a ------ or a racist. It's what you have to use when you're literally out of anything else.

-I gave you an argument.

---------. I am guilty of forgetting you're irrelevant. This is a good reminder of that.

-Not an intelligent sensitive homosexual.

I literally spit my coffee out on that one.

"repeating COVID-19 lies"

specifically, I believe it was posting from certain websites. RCADE didn't want certain websites referenced regarding COVID regardless of the content.

-I understand that they didn't vote their own interests,

What are their interests?

please list the top 5.

"typical maga maroon"

Geeez....why don't you just call me a ------ while you're at it.

If you can't argue just plonk me. That would be more dignified that this tripe.

This obviously escapes you people because of your selfishness.

1. Voters in Youngstown, OH don't owe you a goddam thing
2. Voters in Youngstown, OH aren't any more important than anybody else
3. Not everyone votes for change. They vote because it's their civic duty and they have to select someone.
4. You don't live in Youngstown, OH. Stop pretending you understand what's going on there.

-In response, people were saying it was because BushJr didn't care about black people.

Reagan, bush sr and jr ... ..all of them were racists.

Evil evil evil men.

Now? It all softens ... ...

"You can be greatly concerned about Climate Change, or pretend to be, and at the same time live on the coast."

"attack me"

-----

-It's so difficult for you Deplorable Trumpers to just admit he's a piece of shht.

I can concede that anytime.

I just look for something more interesting to discuss than to bitch about trump.

This is the 600,000th thread about it.

You have 600,000 more coming.

"Laura is doing just fine"

Laura is so ------ dumb she can't figure out when I said "you screamed" it means you screamed it here.

I know when Katrina was

I also know there is zero chance you weren't screaming it.

-Yet, no apparent concern by the rich lefties who own coastal property.

Nope

"You should go ask your wife ... ."

Wow ... ... you're hurt. You're bleeding.

I mean ... ..are you not getting enough ----?

"Name a president who has used a tragedy to attack the other party. "

I'm talking about YOUR accusations and beliefs about GOP leaders.

You're trying to separate trump from them.

In reality, to you, they aren't different.

Someone help poor Laura.
