plenzmd1 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 This piece nails what my thoughts have been since about mid to late April, when real data and facts started to emerge and decisions could be based on science and not models.These lockdowns, while not scientifically correct, also disproportionately affect those at the lower end of the economic spectrum. The very same people "far left liberals" pretend to always fight for, are getting devastated , and may not recover. BTW, i really like Muhammad El-Erain, wicked smart dude. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2020-06-01/great-unequalizer 1

Let the governors pay that told police to stand down. ? That makes sense. Destroy the insurance policy (assuming it covers the loss) for political reasons.

But may be advantages to business owners to have that plan enacted..whats a couple hundreed million thrown on a trillion?

I’d be interested to see if any business property insurance policies even cover social unrest, but assuming that they do, are you suggesting that the building owner shouldn’t make a claim against the policy....and instead just sit there, with their business destroyed, in hopes of making a statement? Not gonna happen. 1

Not debatable. I’m not sure if people understand how insurance works. You have to make a claim before you get paid. The insurance company doesn’t call you! You call the insurance company.

And this idea that business owners and those who have been damaged as a result of the violence shouldn’t get what they paid for is just one more nutty thing in a nutty time. I’ve been out of the coverage game for awhile, but I suspect that social unrest is an issue with respect to business interruption policies only insofar as unrest that shutters a business won’t trigger coverage (or will trigger an exception), whereas interruption occasioned by physical damage would be covered.

Both plans are equally wasteful.

I am glad that we agree that these municipalities have zero liability to protect the property of its citizens. Thank you.

B-Man Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Was it Ever Really About the Virus? by Brian C. Joondeph Original Article For the past four months, Americans have endured a constant barrage of news and fear porn about the Wuhan coronavirus. The country has been locked down as tightly as Anthony Weiner’s infamous laptop computer, now finally starting to slowly reopen. We have heard about ventilators and ICU beds, social distancing and masks, death counts and vaccines, all to the point of over-saturation. Fox News ran a nearly constant death count side bar and CNN blamed the virus, the resulting economic shutdown, and every other bit of trouble in the world on their least favorite president ever.
