Ummm, pardon? How does that work?

aren’t not dependent on each other

So, they are dependent on each other.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable place to build that’s not obviously at threat from hurricanes. But sometimes shit happens that couldn’t be easily foreseen, and THAT’S what insurance is for.

My point, however, is that insurance is NOT to make other policy holders foot the expense of someone repeatedly repairing/rebuilding after completely foreseeable/inevitable events.

To anyone that insists on having a house right on the beach on the Gulf Coast, I say, “Insure thy self.”

If people don’t have the common sense to not build houses in places that are guaranteed to be destroyed by a natural disaster sooner than later, then I shouldn’t have to subsidize their rebuilding costs through my insurance premiums.

Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.

Ya don’t say.

This was exactly my thought as I read and reread this paragraph several times trying to figure out if I was getting it wrong.

“She was in there, she was still strapped into her car and the water was actually rising and getting up into the car itself, so she was about, almost neck deep submerged in her own car.”

I don’t think so. There should be a period after “again.” That’s the end of that sentence.

Is there an editor in the house? Anyone? Hello?

Dammit. Thanks.

He doesn’t have a clue what honest people do. He’s like Vance buying doughnuts for the first time in his life. “Follow the law, I guess, or whatever makes sense.”

Employers shouldn’t have anything to do with their employee’s healthcare.

I don’t understand.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.

So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can’t override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?

On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.

I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android. JFC.

Undecided voters; 🤷

Democrats need to respond by making the story about why Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill.

All true. My point is that if they’re polling current small business owners asking if she is business friendly, they might likely say no, because her plans aren’t directly friendly to their specific company.

🤣. Is there a clip of that from the TV view?

Well, one potential psychological flaw in her $50k small business tax credit is that it’s only for new small businesses to go towards startup costs.

Existing small businesses that may be struggling can look at that and only see her making it easier for their future competition to get rolling. It’s a net negative for them.

Just about the only people that are going to look at that tax credit and see how it benefits them are people that are already looking into starting a small business and the main thing holding them back is the startup costs. That’s probably not a lot of voters.

*Gerrymandering raises it’s hand.

There was (still is?) the Fair Vote Act that got introduced and immediately buried in committee for several sessions that addressed both RCV and gerrymandering. I’ve lost hope for it and stopped paying attention to it getting reintroduced.
