  • My family have had one home leveled, one home so badly damaged that after rehab, lost 2/3 of its value, and yet another home badly damaged by three separate climate driven events. One was a 1000 yr flood, and then, two different straight wind derechos. We were homeless three times.
    We live in the Midwest. Furthermore, we are only one of many thousands that have already been affected and are certainly not the first. When the insurance companies pass on the profits because of risk, we can accept that actuaries have seen the light.









  • SCOTUS is not held to any ethical standards and have appointments that last for life. The conservative court has gone off the rails on their latest rulings, arguably making discrimination legal, even on protected groups. This upends decades of protections for vulnerable groups that were targeted by fascist groups.
    While Roberts is whining about criticism on what his court has done, the main topic of criticism is newsworthy in that it has real consequences.
    The same groups that lean toward authoritarianism, also lean toward Putin being allowed to take Ukraine. This fight spills over to the rest of the world.
