    He knows democrats will bail him out because they do the right thing. Insurance agencies won’t, though. The writing is on the wall when your insurance premiums skyrocket. Or worse, they drop you.

      My insurance is dropping me because I had the audacity to try to use it. We had one claim that paid for some damage after a flood, one to pay for a water heater, and that’s it. They decided that means we will probably ask again the next time something goes wrong, so why would they want to keep insuring us?

        Insurance is a scam, and it pisses me off that we’re still tolerating their bullshit.

          The concept is good. But the way it is run right now is just taking money and fight tooth and nail to pay as less as they can gey away with it.

        I’ve had friends get fucked in the ass by their insurance company that refused to let them buy flood insurance even though they weren’t particularly close to a body of water. When the “once in 500 years” (not) flood came, their house that they had owned for years was destroyed. Insurance that they paid for picked up none of their $100,000 damages.

        They rebuilt it out of pocket and are selling it and moving to a place that is more ecologically stable. Fuck insurance companies.

          I mean…. It sounds like the insurance company knew it was going to flood. Being close to a body of water has nothing to do with likelihood to flood…

          Seems like your friends should have moved before the flood, if they couldn’t get insurance for it. Why were they even searching for flood insurance if “they weren’t particularly close to a body of water”?

          Sorry but this definitely sounds like your friends’ fault. They knew they needed the insurance because it would flood, the insurance company knew with high certainty it was going to flood, and then it did flood.
