#1 Just another 'tax' as everyone else's rates go up. Though most insurers are state regulated, so its the citizens of the states who'll pick up the tab.

#2 State insurance regulation is the original skin-back proposition. In Trump's second term, eliminating it should be a top priority.

#3 Don't forget all those little 'nuisance words' in a lot of policies that allows the insurers to deny coverage related to “illegal acts”.

$2B is just the tip of the iceberg.

#4 You should have known angry minorities would rip up your business / home / neighborhood / life.

That clause.

#5 And people talk about oligarchs elsewhere...the deck is so stacked here it is sickening.

So we have police, defunded or not, that are not bound to respond to individual calls for help, and then there's possibly the insurance companies can deny coverage to those who required assistance. Gee, isn't that nice?

#6 #1, ZMan calls it "the tax on being white..."

#7 They don't even need to deny, the insurers can simply drag their feet with manufactured internal bureaucracy. Besides, how many have insurance for insurrection?

#8 /\ Besides, how many have insurance for insurrection?

At the personal level, I am 'self-insured.'

#9 The typical bodega barely makes it. Insurance is a fantasy. The big box stores have such large policies their carriers won't even consider rocking the boat.

#10 At the personal level,

A white person is in Bonfire of the Vanities territory these days. Amazing that Tom Wolfe saw that coming way back in 1987...

#11 We, (insurance company), file suit for damages against (corporation) for their continuous support, in spite of overwhelming evidence concerning arson and vandalism, of the BLM organization.

12 ga insurance. :-)

Also, anyone involved in the riots ought to be responsible for reparations for what they destroyed.

#13 They CAN sue BLM and ANTIFA and the Seattle Mayor who openly supported the destruction.

#14 ALL mayors and Governors in Dem riot areas should have massive lawsuits against them.

#15 #11, that's called subrogation. In this instance the lawyers won't touch it.
