    The only downside is that he’ll be able to get a new house but I’m glad that if we must suffer climate change, at least some of the evil fucking societal ghouls are going to suffer with us

    • Firstly fuck this guy, fuck his house, and it totally makes sense for insurance companies to not continue to insure houses in areas no longer fit for human habitation, like Florida or Malibu

      That being said, I don’t think they should be allowed to cancel existing policies. Like, ever. You can refuse to issue new policies, but if someone buys a home and you sell them insurance, you have to keep insuring them until they move or decide they don’t want your insurance anymore. Maybe you can have the option of paying out the whole amount of the policy to be done with it.

      But dropping policies on houses people already owned and insured should be so incredibly fucking illegal and whoever signed the paperwork should be shot. When you buy a house, you do that with the insurance in mind. Changing that after the fact when the person already bought the house and now can’t sell it because it’s uninsurable is evil.

  • nothing says, “I understand the practical management and mitigation of risk from wild fires” like not doing anything about having your multimillion dollar fire insurance cancelled for 4 months in your home surrounded by dry brush during the dry season in a part of the country that has been increasingly hammered by wildfires.

    that last panel about how he lost his home and has no insurance coverage is fucking out-goddamn-standing. I hope he is as fucked as I imagine.

      JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): They’ve contained 0% of this fire, and it didn’t need to be this way. This man cannot manage water or forests. Did you know they’ve had record rainfall and he hasn’t built a single reservoir? Hasn’t broken ground on a single reservoir. It rains in California and just washes into the ocean.

      He is bragging about tearing dams down. He tore more dams down – four – than anybody in the history of this country. Because the Native Americans told him to do it, because it would save some salmon. Now look at this.

      According to Reuters the water shortage was more of a logistics problem, not really about a lack of water around.

    the fire is not from “climate change”, you ignorant asshole. It’s because liberal idiots like you elect liberal idiots like Gavin Newson and Karen Bass. One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs.

    You just know he was smuglord and half wojak-nooo (as his house was burning down) while typing this lmao

    Right wing dumbasses will never accept some aspects of physical reality for no other reason than the libruls
