Everybody’s “mad” at insurance companies for telling people the truth and refusing to lose money on obviously doomed Malibu.
But it’s the landlords who will continue to exploit the fuck out of LA.
We should be “mad” at both.
“What if we built a private water distribution system, that took priority over regular people’s supply, then charged for access during wildfires?”
Nestle should be into this already.
I’m of two minds about this. If an area is extremely disaster-prone, you shouldn’t build there. But it sucks to already live there, and not get insured. I’d be fine if there were no new insurance contacts on new houses being built.
Another, local example: in Germany, a few years ago there was a catastrophic flood that killed several people and destroyed many houses located in a river valley, because the river had been artificially narrowed and straightened. With looming climate change there was already talks about flooding risk and insurance covering. After the disaster, a decent chunk of people planned to rebuild their houses in the exact same spots. Some were not even insured, and relied on government disaster relief money, afaik

Losing
In a world, burning with anxiety… Mel, our uncanny hero.
It’s a complex.
Issue. Complex issue. Sorry, dunno what came over me.
🎵who can say where the road goes, where the day flows? Only time🎵
Quick, sell flood insurance to California and wildfire insurance to Florida
Well, not the fires specifically, but the US has already begun the steps to monetize climate change. Why do you think there’s a sudden interest in Canada and Greenland? That melting permafrost is gonna open up a lot of resources.
The time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.

Just like they did after the Hawaii fires.
Good thing they are in the office to collaborate ideas.
