Insurers balk at insuring Portland businesses; exclude future damage related to civil unrest
[Buck Throckmorton]
Do you remember a few months ago during the peak of the BLM/Antifa rioting when Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) were either silent about the violence, or they actually praised property destruction and looting? As for the lives and businesses destroyed, they just dismissed the damage as harmless because “insurance will pay for it.”
NPR actually spent your tax dollars to advocate for looting, publicizing Vicky Osterweil’s book “In Defense Of Looting” and effectively endorsing the book with its tongue-bath of an interview. You’ll never guess what happened next. Insurers balk at covering Portland businesses; Brokers say downtown upheaval has made carriers wary“So earlier this month, Murfitt settled for a policy that nearly quadrupled his premium, had a significantly higher deductible, included a much smaller cap on coverage related to robbery and excluded any property damage related to civil unrest.”So to get insurance at all now, these small business owners face crippling rate hikes, and the next round of Democrat-endorsed looting won’t even be insured, because “civil unrest” is excluded. Our Democrat and media elite genuinely had no idea about the actuarial risk that determines insurance availability and pricing. They just assumed insurance is like electricity - another routine bill for a service that is universally available.
Another revelation of the media’s “but the shop owners have insurance” defense of rioting was their total lack of understanding about how property insurance works. The MSM and Democrats spoke of property insurance as if it’s a million-dollar life insurance policy on a loved one. Sure, you’re distraught about your loss, but at least you’re rich now! They clearly didn’t understand deductibles, uncovered damage, lost revenue, and future loss of business due to operating in a war zone.
The Washington Post’s Megan McArdle is supposed to be an intellectual who is so smart she is beyond partisanship. To her credit she bravely broke with the rest of the Washington press corps and dared to criticize those who defended looting. But in her very next tweet she showed that she believes property insurance to be “some kind of magic that makes all problems disappear.”
No. Insurance is not “some kind of magic that makes all problems disappear”, even if you’re “in the world of the upper middle class.” Nor is it a lottery ticket that will leave you rich if you make a claim.
My heart breaks for all the shopkeepers whose businesses were destroyed in the riots. As for those pro-rioting leftists who repeated the mantra “but it’s insured”, may they enjoy a lifetime full of property damage claims on every asset they own or hold dear. They may not be richer for it, but they’ll certainly be wiser.
More [ace]: Who wouldn't want to insure this?
A Portland restaurant owner critical of antifa’s mass vandalism on Sandy Blvd. had his business burned down shortly after making the comments. Now investigators are saying the fire was an arson attack. This is the surveillance video: pic.twitter.com/4sgOdbL3GO

It became a huge thing after 9/11.
The twin towers paid extra for terrorism insurance due to the history of terrorist attacks. And they had a maximum payout per terrorist attack.
So, as you can guess, both sides spent years in court arguing over whether two planes crashing in to two buildings was one terrorist attack or two.
Oh, and the terrorist attack rider company was trying to subrogate to other insurers, plus there was a whole mess on the reinsurance market...

Arson is usually covered by insurance, though.
So he has that going for him.
Well, by arson, I mean the most to rebuild the building and possibly replace any fixtures or inventory, at the value the insurance company puts on such things.
But no ones paying him for however many months hes not earning money.
And he still has to pay his mortgage. And his employees are out of work. And he probably will go a year without making money again, so he's going to have to figure out how to pay his own bills.

I hear ya NL. People have their reasons and they don't have to explain it to anyone else. As a social thing, in the aggregate, it is interesting that tatoos are so common now. There must be a reason for it. It is not exactly original at this point. It is not the kind of rebellious thing it used to be. I guess it is more mainstream. But also there is likely a reason people do it more now than before.
Not comparing the two, but I wonder why so many young guys have beards now. There has to be a reason. And don't tell me it is because they don't shave lol.

I carry about a $5,000 deductible on the business, and $3,000 on the home and property.

Or...BLMAntifa offers "protection" to building owners, business owners, and renters and homeowners. It already has the threat and destruction side of the business up and running. Adding a protection racket operation is easy-peasy.
City officials, police, and DA's will look the other way, for a cut. Vito Corleone would be envious of this business opportunity.

I find it interesting Ace is completely avoiding the biggest news story
of the day. That Mitch McConnell has congratulated President Elect
Biden on his win.
With McConnell publicly accepting the Electoral college vote, it's
over. McConnell controls the GOP senators with an iron fist and so you
can now guarantee there'll be no challenge in the Senate to acceptance
of the Electoral college vote.

We made the mistake of leaving our garage door open overnight, a few years ago, and I got about 2K worth of tools stolen.
Didn't even bother to report. Just sucked it up, and bought replacement tools.
But, I added an alarm to let us know when we'd left the door garage open, then, when that gave out, I installed a device that automatically closes the garage door after a certain number of minutes.

He gets broken in to, gets stuff stolen, has to have 2 people on duty at all times to make sure no one get robbed.
And every time has to make the decision: do I claim this on my insurance, knowing my premiums will go up and I have a very high deductible, or do I just deal with the financial pain of this?
And he's not a rich man.

One thing that really should be a trope in the hitman genre but isn't.... When negotiating, don't EVER take a job where you aren't willing to settle for the upfront down payment. Because once you pull the trigger, it's always in your employer's best interests to kill you rather than pay you the balance. Not just in terms of the money, but to keep you quiet.

Yeah, people get a confidence boost, and a conversation starter everytime someone says "cool tattoo" or similar.
So people with less then great social skills, and/or young kids who are still super impressionable get a lot of tattoos.
Normal people get tattoos, too, but I think most people covered in tattoos were either young, or super insecure and lacking social skills when they got them.

Long term, maybe.
Short term....trying to kill someone who can and will drop bodies is probably not a good way to make sure you make it to retirement, either.
Typically, in the Cartels, the hitters keep working until they get dropped. Turnover is a bitch. Some 'retire'....but with the understanding they aren't really retired. More like IRR.

Okay, okay, there are those here who either have, or their children have tattoos. Well, if one does something *specifically* to call attention to themselves, to overtly elicit the observations of others, then they should not become defensive if those observations are negative.
I'm not anti-tattoo, in the context that it commemorates an involvement or association with something of legitimate substance.
As 'Look at me' decoration it demonstrates, to me, poor judgment. It's a like permanently dying your hair blue. Sure, go ahead and do it...but do not expect anyone to take you seriously after that.

Keep after it, leftards. Keep after it & you'll find out the hard way as your kind always does that the default position of humanity is an animal protective instinct.
