    He said the quiet thing out loud. That’s what he was fired for.

    The next person will just keep their mouth shut and stick to the original plan.

      Is it not common sense that if we pool our money together to cover accidents then the people who are more prone to accidents, therefore pulling more money out of the pool than others, should be contributing more? How do people think rates are calculated?

    Ya. Nothing this guy said was shocking. People building mcmansions in beautiful disaster prone areas? Insurance companies have been trying to leave these markets for a while, because they can read the writing on the wall.

    Disaster after disaster and we rebuild the same shit in the same place and then have the audacity to act shocked it all happened again. Not to mention building single family detached houses in endless suburbs is basically salting the earth.

    We all need to have a good look inward and decide what we’re actually entitled to, or circumstance is gonna have a word with the fates. And we know what capricious callous bitches they are…

    Uh, this is ridiculous. Rate hikes are an actuarially substantiated fact of life and they don’t need to be discussed in a secure room. The headline is a disaster.
