This is what rebuilding looks like.

I believe if you have to declare your religion loudly I'm probably not interested.

We have gone bareboating in the BVIs twice. Super fun and relaxing from the time you land to the time you leave.

I know!

That's the life side from 2022. For P&C:

Yes this is what I was alluding to earlier. One reason the request is likely so high is because the requests keep being denied. If every 3 years you demonstrate that you need X and only get half of X then it snowballs due to inflation. And construction cost inflation is 10% per year. And remember that a rate increase for a policy written on 1/1/2024 might be to pay a claim that settles in 7 years What the head of the DOI (an elected official) is doing is trying to give insurance companies just enough increase to survive while keeping consumers happy enough to keep buying insurance. The question is where do insurance companies find the extra money if they can't get the rate they want. The answer is cutting employee expenses for one. Then you get rid of insureds that lose you money. That's why your company drops you if you have a claim that isn't your fault. The next options are not good. Denying claims or eventually exiting the state although there are significant barriers to exit. What all this isn't is just a negotiation tactic. You can't just submit a frivolous rate request. It will get thrown out. The DOI rejects any little thing that isn't mathematically sound. Filings are public. Attached is a sample: Mike Causey knows that 42% is likely a real number and he also knows he can't approve it. Tough job and it's all likely unsustainable.

Usually doesn't work like this. If the company submits something that is questionable from a data or math standpoint it gets sent back. Some real nerds work for the DOI. Meaning 42% is probably really what is justified.

You have do do the twitter link not the x link:

Was my first choice.

Aww thanks. I will let my two sons decide that. I get your anger though. For a lot of boomers, especially evangelicals, there is a feeling that the world has passed them by. And you have a bunch of anger that you have trouble processing due to decades of white knuckling mental health instead of treating it. All of which manifests itself in judging people at Wal Mart and screaming on the internet. Have at it just try not to find yourself as a cautionary tale on tik-tok.

Go creep on people at Wal Mart boomer.

If it is consensual sure.

Sex work is fine but we need to get rid of the human trafficking aspect.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) P&C companies are not health insurers making obscene profits while charging $150 for advil. P&C insurance companies have been losing money the past few years. The article quoted tells you why. They asked for 24.5% and only got 7%. So now they need 42%. This is on top of the fact that your home and auto insurance already contains a dictionary full of exclusions. And if you make a claim they might drop you. And keep in mind depending on where you live the company you may not even want your business. The eventual solution is that home insurance gets handled by the state/subsidized and not private insurers.

I for one find this FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!

Shake Shack is great. Everyone hates five guys because they are so expensive but it is still a damn good burger. If you are in LKN try Bad Daddies and the lesser known Crafty Burger.
