Shocker: Insurance Barely Covers Even The Start of Demolition for Destroyed Minneapolis Businesses; Costs For Demolition and Reconstruction are Far More Than Businesses are Worth, So City Will Be Left Deserted and Blighted

Wait, I thought that wanton destruction and rampant looting were totes cool because the businesses were insured (and some other innocent third party, the insurer, would be damaged by the Locusts That Walk On Two Legs).

(As if a mere shift of who ultimately had to pay for the Locusts' destruction changed the fact that the Loucusts were destroying everything.)

Nope.


From the Minneapolis (Red) Star Tribune:


Like dozens of other investors whose properties were severely damaged in the May riots, the Kim family was stunned to discover that the money it would collect from its insurance company for demolition won’t come close to the actual costs of doing the job. Most policies limit reimbursement to $25,000 to $50,000, but contractors have been submitting bids of $200,000 to $300,000. In many cases, the price of the work is not much lower than the actual value of the property, records show.

They're blaming the insurance companies, but these nonstop "fiery protests" were permitted by the local government.


This tweet attacks those who kept claiming that looting and arson were no big deal because "THEY. WERE. INSURED."


The media pushed that line, too.

You stupid little ignorant locusts.

Of course you'd know nothing about Adult Business matters. If it's not on Twitter, how can you be expected to become an Instant Twitter Expert about it?

Hazard pay for contractors is expensive. Too bad there is no police force, it would dramatically lower the quotes.

That's a great point.

I wonder how many of these buildings were built pre-1978? Because then they might contain lead paint. Or god forbid they were built in the asbestos days.

That could be why these businesses are seeing quotes in the multi hundreds of thousands of dollar ranges.

90 Insurers do this because emergency funds usually cover this kind of thing, and its not worth it to them to protect random sudden violence by looters, especially these days.

Generally I don't like insurance companies and consider them a scam but they have my sympathy here.

Remember, by federal law, insurers have to have enough in cash and readily-available assets to cover EVERY CLAIM THEY HAVE so they have a huge pool of cash. But they have to keep that up, and a gigantic hit to their resources like an entire city claiming their shops would shut down anyone.

Wasn't there also a huge celebrity fundraiser, Zoom style, in early June?

Celebrities themselves pledged millions, but they also raised a ton of money . . . for the rioters.

Sure, you can get a rider if you pay for it. But how many small business owners
a) have the extra money around to get riders for every conceivable potential issue
and
b) even think about stuff like that?

I imagine there will be some legal battles over whether these buildings burning down should be considered run of the mill arson, or the results of a riot.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at September 01, 2020 04:43 PM (cnTJD)

101
Time for these business owners to start filing lawsuits against social media platforms that made themselves into publishers by censoring non-left voices.

The rioters organized on social media and were egged on by democrats and MSM on social media.

Make social media pay. They supposedly have the deep pockets.

Yesterday, the Biden campaign finally put together a press pool, because hard-charging Presidential campaigns always have a pool of reporters charged with following the candidate around.

So yesterday, the press pool flew with Biden to Pittsburgh and back, to cover the speech Biden could have just as easily given from his basement.

Today, the press pool was told that Biden would be doing a "virtual fundraiser" in the afternoon (that they're not invited to)... and that's it. The reporters are free to sit around the pool all day.

Can't wait to see what hard-charging' Joe has planned for tomorrow!

$52,000 - Totaled Toyota Van
$8,200 - Damaged commercial refrigerator
$16,800 - Wind damaged roof on the restaurant
$128,500 - Wind damaged cedar shakes on house
$1,865 - Damage to GMC grille

Of course, there were setbacks...

$112,000 claim denied for water damage in condo. Sued agent for malpractice and took a $62,500 settlement at arbitration.

All in all, can't complain.

What would be interesting if these companies sue the municipalities to recoup costs. Insurance companies are ferocious about clawing money from people.

Remember: the full extent of the Sandusky kid-in-the-shower thing came out not through law enforcement but because Penn State's insurance company was trying to prove it didn't have to pay on the policy because Penn State *knew* Sandusky was a risk and kept on his staff and failed to disclose that to the company.

So I'm betting more than a few insurers are going to file lawsuits demanding compensation from the cities.

212 Hot tip: Your insurer is unlikely to pay you more than you paid in.

Actually, that's not true. If it were true, you'd be an idiot to take out insurance. You'd be better off to just invest the money that would go toward premiums (which is what the insurance company does with the premiums).

The whole idea of insurance (from the insured's perspective) is to take a guaranteed small loss to buy protection - from the pool of other insureds - against a loss that is unlikely but would be catastrophic if it occurred.

Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 01, 2020 04:51 PM (cfSRQ)

Newark is still a shit hole.

Now, of course, in history class, we learn that all of these cities who went through race riots in the '60s and '70s became shit holes do to "white flight" which is when the racist white people moved to the suburbs because they didnt like having black neighbors. They don't mention race riots in that context.

But then when the whites moved back, it was gentrification and wrong because "black people used to live here" and "gentrification is racism."

So... yeah.

Anyways, my point is that rioting does not increase property values in a city.

I don't know what he was thinking. I don't know how burning down his building helped anything. He says he's trying to rebuild.

This is really what it gets down to, doesn't it?

None of these people involved with Black-Lives-Matter or anyone who supports their cause/movement have any idea about anything.

From the "protesters" to the journalists to the professional athletes to even the politicians.

How many of any people in those groups have actually held a real job in their lives? How many have any actual knowledge of how business works or how capitalism works or how to run a small business?

Everyone from journalists to politicians to professional athletes went straight from college to their current careers. Where they don't have to know how anything in real life works in order to succeed in their jobs.

Athletes definitely need to know nothing. Journalists just need to know how to follow orders on how to lie to the public. Politicians... name one who has held a real job outside of politics. Name one who knows how to balance a home budget.

The ones who do, they don't last long in politics. Because they are the ones trying to make difference fixing corruption and wasteful spending.

But this is what this temper tantrum is all about. It's a bunch of people who have no idea how the real world works, how the average person earns a living, how the average business is run and they're just angry after being fed lies and propaganda their entire lives. And instead of educating and informing themselves of facts, they just run with the lies and throw a fit.

Who are the people that make up Black-Lives-Matter and antifa? The vast majority are criminals and radicals. Then there are the leaders who are also radicals.

You're not seeing a small business owner involved with riots and looting. You're not seeing people who hold down 9-5 jobs involved with riots and looting. You're seeing losers and radicals.

Posted by: Some rat in the swamp at September 01, 2020 04:57 PM (RZvsU)

Because not everyone follows the insurance mandate laws. Especially if they're not here completely legally, if you know what I mean.

Also, not every state mandates car insurance.

261 That's exactly what is going to happen. So.. don't get too excited election night because it WILL NOT be over.

The D's are already worried that if Trump appears to have won by an landslide on Election Night, that a lot of people won't accept that Biden won, after all the fraudulent ballots come streaming in.

Expect to see a big media PR campaign after Labor Day explaining that the concept of "Election Day" is outmoded, and you need to be thinking about "Election Week" or "Election Month".

Election Night, you'll also see the networks refuse to call states for Trump.

"Yes, it appears that Trump is eight points ahead in Minnesota tonight, but we sophisticates know that Biden will take Minnesota, once all the late ballots are counted."

It's why the Democrats are panicking - they are worried that a preference cascade is occurring that will give Trump such a lead on Election Night that efforts to steal the election later won't seem remotely credible.

263 Meanwhile the destruction of California continues to accelerate:

https://www.sfchronicle.com/ education/article/Judge-bars-University- of-California-from-all-use-15531662.php

Judge bars University of California from all use of SAT, ACT scores in admissions

"The University of California, which has already stopped requiring applicants for admission to take the SAT or ACT, must go further and prohibit campuses from allowing prospective students to submit their scores on the exams ..."

They say that this is merely while coronavirus exists...but since they also say that coronavirus will be with us forever, well, the SAT is now banned forever.

As someone who knows history in detail noted a awhile ago:

The SAT itself started as a far-left anti-racism initiative. Back in the "old days," colleges based many of their decisions on "legacy admissions" -- i.e. if you had relatives who previously went to the school, then you were given priority. Since in the even-earlier old-old-old days most college students were WASPs, this meant that Jews and other minorities had less of a chance to get in, since all the slots were taken by legacy WASP students applicants, even in colleges that didn't have an overt "No Jews" policy.

So they invented a system whereby everyone had to take the exact same neutral test, and whoever did best on the test, REGARDLESS of thier race or "legacy" status -- they were admitted.

Super-left-wing idea! In the 1960s, at least. Imagine: people admitted on merit, not on family connections or race or religion.

In the leftists' fantasy, all minorites would equally benefit from this.

Except -- oooooops -- only Jews and Asians benefitted. Because they did best on tests.

But the other minorities -- oooooooooooooooooooooops -- actually ANTI-benefitted from it, because they did terrible on tests. So blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans had now even LESS of a chance to get in to college, because the tests revealed that they weren't even as college-ready as their inflated grades from mosty-minority high schools suggested. (I..e a minority student with a 3.9 SPA from an all-minority high school actually performed worse on the SAT than a (for example) Jew with a 3.0 GPA from a college-prep high school, because all schools "graded on a curve," and the minority student with the 3.9 GPA only had to do better than the other minority students, and not compete against most AP students in high school).

So he left has been franctically trying to (at first) explain away and then (by now) undo thier super-egalitarian policy. What formerly had been a far-left anti-racism initiative evnetually has now ben deemed a super right-wing racist conspiracy to keep minorities out of college!!

Pretty soon, inevitably, they will just dispense with pretense and attempts to fiddle with the system litle by little, and just pass a law saying that whites, Jews and Asians are barred from college, which henceforth will only be open tp blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans are any Caucasian who can cliam to be Muslim or some bizarre gender.

You think I'm joking, but look for it soon.

When GM came a-cropper Obongo - idiot that he is - thought that he was sticking it to hedge funds. He was apparently too stupid to realize that hedge funds are not investing their own money, but rather are investing that of the limited partners. The hedge funds charge the carry (usually 2% or IIRC) and typically (again, IIRC) around 20% of the profits from the investments.

The biggest limited partner to get hosed by Obongo's maneuver was ... wait for it ... the Michigan State Teachers' Pension Fund.

In that case, a part of me thinks that Republicans should announce that if they win back the House, and keep the Senate and White House, they'll pass legislation allowing any business which suffered severe damage/destruction from a declared riot to walk away without any of the negative effects of bankruptcy. Any lender's harmed by this can appeal to HUD to seek reimbursement, but the moneys paid will be deducted from federal aid to that state.

For example, that 200K policy may have a 50K deductible. (horseback guess, horde insurance people may have a better idea)

Now, I don't know if business insurance works the same as household and car insurance, but, I'd be surprised if it isn't possible to save a few bucks in premiums through carrying a relatively high deductible.

323 In that case, a part of me thinks that Republicans should announce that if they win back the House, and keep the Senate and White House, they'll pass legislation allowing any business which suffered severe damage/destruction from a declared riot to walk away without any of the negative effects of bankruptcy. Any lender's harmed by this can appeal to HUD to seek reimbursement, but the moneys paid will be deducted from federal aid to that state.

325 MN victims of the riots\looters should be launching a class action suit against the local governance for lack of protection, breakdown of civil authority, and the allowance orders rendered by the de-facto leadership to riot, loot, and cause harm to both material and body.
Then, go after the various media outlets (news, Social, ect) that had a presence in the riots, glorified, 'egged-on', or any other non-impartial behavior that championed the destruction, violence, or other un-lawful behavior.
There is plenty of blame, plenty of legal recourse to go out by the victims, against their local governance and those whom committed the destruction.

And, not one penny of Federal funds should go to support them as a defense or towards settlement, since they refused any Federal help during the crisis.

Sorry, bud, but its your crisis now.

355 It is perhaps worth noting some of the events that led to the American Civil War, lest anyone say or think there are no similar warning signs in this present unrest: - John Brown was hanged for the crime of raiding Harper's Ferry, VA. A staunch abolitionist, Brown could no longer watch the commerce of slave trading take place and do nothing. But for a long time, all anyone knew of him was that he was a murderous criminal who was executed for his crimes. - The idea of "popular sovereignty" took root in the South as the notion that local municipalities and states could follow their own laws and ordinances which took higher priority than Federal statutes. - U.S. Senator Benton - an abolitionist - was threatened with a pistol in the Capitol Building...by another Senator. - A confrontation in which abolitionists confront two slave owners attempting to capture an escaped slave ends in a gun battle. - States which saw the most pre-war violence were under the jurisdiction of one political party in local and state governments. - Legislation is passed in some states that specifically abolishes Federal authority. - Scientific and Sociological manifestos are published which purport to justify why slavery is not only natural, but necessary for higher civilizations to function. - "Bleeding Kansas"; a time when the Kansas territory is rocked by riots and looting which eventually culminates in open armed conflict between Pro-slavery secessionists and abolitionist "Jayhawkers". - Entire cities - such as Lawrence, KS - burn as a result of rioting. - Anti-slavery senator Charles Sumner is attacked and beaten nearly to death on the floor of the Senate. - John Fremont runs for president under the slogan "Free speech, free press, free soil, free men, Frémont and victory!" The opposition threatens to escalate violence if he is elected. - The "Panic of 1857" occurs, in which speculations in railroad stock causes inflation. This effects primarily the northern states and as a result, many prominent southerners declare they are immune to economic downturn thanks to pro-slavery economic practices. - Pro-slavery dissidents in Kansas take 11 abolitionists hostage and execute 5 of them based on nothing more than the fact they don't agree with secession or support slavery. - The Democratic National Convention is rocked by chaos as more radical elements seize control of the nomination process and want to adopt pro-slavery platforms for the party. No nominee is named and the party decides to reconvene in Baltimore 6 weeks later. - Abraham Lincoln is elected president. Many senators and prominent figures in the South declare he is not their president and begin to move in favor of secession.

***********

Chinese billionaires should not be allowed to buy American property full stop.

America has sold a finite good property that is protected, when now such thing exists within China. IOW it is not a free market system when one entity sells a limited resource and the other entity prohibits that even to its own citizens.

The Chinese Communists stay in power because their elite are allowed to travel and buy property overseas.

They buy up middle class neighborhoods together and form LLCs so that there are now middle class neighborhoods that are paying their money to Chinese landlords all while the cost of owning a home in America goes up because of foreign investment demand.

Some of these places are badly maintained and the neighborhoods begin to look like ghettos and no one can find out who owns the property for maintenance because it is Chinese hiding behind LLCs formed in Joe Biden Delaware.

These Chinese billionaires do not challenge their own government because US property and property rights keep them placated.

It is doubly ironic how you now hear from BLM that property protection is systemic racism.

Gawd damn Marxists.

Yeah, but as someone pointed out upthread ... environmental laws most likely put these burned out buildings in "hazmat" territory. Which is very expensive to deal with. It all has to be bagged by licensed, insured, moon suit wearing people, and transported and disposed of correctly.

And I suspect some of these buildings had lead paint in them and/or asbestos. Which adds another layer of expense to proper disposal.

not to mention our national shortage of respirator makes needed to work with hazmat stuff.

And as I understand it the age gap has a minimum, a floor, but I can't remember what it is, maybe 16 or something like that.

Nancy Pelosi had a shutdown San Francisco hair salon open for her so she could have a shampoo and blowout. The salon owner is furious that one of the stylists did her hair. Also, Pelosi didn't wear a mask.

Bonus: there's security vid in the salon of Pelosi strolling through looking like a wet rat, without her precious mask.

Leftists seem not to grasp that businesses don't pay taxes; they collect them for the government (thereby providing cover for the politicians).

If you increase their taxes, they increase their prices. Or, if they can't, they go out of business.

How hard is that to grasp?

A tax credit is a partial forgiveness of future tax liability. The EITC is a check. It's Federal welfare, no more, no less.

labeled the chicken crap a toxic material and write rules on how it has
to be disposed of. I don't think they allow it to be used as fertilizer
(which was the usual way to dispose of it) and that costs more because
the incinerator or dump site will have it's requirements.

Yes, Jake, I mentioned it but no one gave a chicken shit about it. There's a link at Insty's about or a commenter had a link about it being classed as hazardous waste so it's alot more expensive to clean up.

And as I understand it the age gap has a minimum, a floor, but I can't remember what it is, maybe 16 or something like that.

So its a bit misrepresented, but the truth doesn't exactly put California in a good light.

478 General question: What are people. seeing in states that have never done mail-in ballots previously with regard to deadline for receipt of ballots?

In Colorado, ballots must be received by the Clerk by 7:00 pm on Election Day. It doesn't matter if it was postmarked on an earlier date. In addition to mailing your ballot you have the options to vote in-person or drop off your mail-in ballot at drop boxes located at polling places or Clerk's Office. Mail-in ballots are correlated one-to-one with voter rolls, and if you vote in person and also mail in a ballot, only one will be counted.

Are you anticipating shenanigans and protests over late ballots and the potential for post-election day harvesting in your state?

485 I had this conversation with a younger SJW cousin with her masters in psychology regarding "they have insurance."

What happens to everyone's premiums when those who are lucky enough collect on their claims? They go up. How does that impact costs to customers? They go up too.

Plus, why would anyone rebuild where the public elect failed to uphold their office and deploy local law enforcement and other public services at their disposal? They wouldn't. This happened in Detroit about 50 years ago.

As I explain to people, there is only one place for any business taxes to come from, and that is the consumer. If you vote to increase taxes on businesses, you are just voting for the price of everything you buy to go up.

491 Businesses and property owners sell or abandon property in DemocRat cities in Lockdown and being burned/looted by Antifa/BLM . . . The cities, or financial people, sell the property to willing buyers, who wait for the riots/looting/burning to end/be put down, then rebuild and flip the property for a profit. Or, the city gets bailed out by the Feds, and they build 'affordable housing, for the refugges of the Ilhan Omar persuasion.
