Local farmers, authorities came to believe, were systematically destroying vital #weather data in order to falsely claim millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded crop #insurance, for a drought they made up.

Some drivers of General Motors cars, like these Chevrolet Bolts, may not realize that their driving data is being shared with insurance companies

Niemand von uns kann wissen, ob er oder sie in 5 Jahren #flĂŒchten muss. Gibt es (PlĂ€ne fĂŒr) soetwas wie eine (globale) #Versicherung gegen #Flucht? Diese #FlĂŒchtlingsversicherung könnte finanziert werden von Firmen, die in der #RĂŒstung und der CO2-Förderung Geld verdienen, ggf. auch durch die #Tobinsteuer, also durch Institutionen, die an wachsender #Ungleichheit und Konflikten gewinnen. Die Verteilung und Verwaltung könnte durch UNHCR oder so organisiert werden.
Nobody of us knows if or when he or she becomes a refugee during the next 5 years. So is there something like (a plan for) a global #insurance for people who are threatened by losing their homes? This insurance could be financed by companies earning money with #arms and #CO2, or also by #tobin tax, short by all institutions that make a profit on growing conflicts and #inequality. #UNHCR could organise and control this #insurance.
How climate change could cause a home insurance meltdown
California isnât alone. Insurance companies in states like Colorado, Louisiana and Florida are paring down business to shield themselves from ballooning losses as climate change fuels more-intense disasters. Earlier this month, the insurance arm of AAA announced it would not renew some âhigher exposureâ home insurance policies in Florida, and Farmers Insurance announced it will stop offering new home insurance policies in the state and wonât renew thousands of existing ones, in part because of rising losses from hurricanes.

Spent a large part of yesterday fighting insurance companies, trying to insure the family chariots at a more reasonable price. It really annoys me that they never offer their best price at renewal, and then never discount as much as for new business, yet seem surprised when you tell them you are going elsewhere. Saved about ÂŁ140 off the renewal quote, but what hassle.
Have I ever explained how much I hate finance, profiteering and capitalism generally?
The part about getting the jab that they DON'T tell you:

#Insurance is based on modelling #risk and the likelihood that some event is going to occur during, say your travels or occupancy of your home. How does this work with #MedicalInsurance? As far as I can tell, the chances of you getting ill and dying are 100% and so unless you want to charge exorbitant premiums for those who are already likely to be afflicted (the elderly, the very young, and sufferers of chronic illness) it doesn't work. And if you do charge extra them extra then you're a heartless bastard.

A few months earlier, a major insurance company called Lighthouse had gone bankrupt, leaving almost 30,000 homeowners in the state without storm coverage. The company went under thanks to last yearâs Hurricane Ida, which led to $400 million in damage claims, far more money than the company had on hand. It had been up to Donelon to find a new company to take over these abandoned policies, but no other #company wanted them. In fact, other companies were fleeing the state en masse.

US could have saved 338,000 lives from Covid with universal healthcare, study finds
Reportâs author says people died because US healthcare âleaves millions without adequate access to medical treatmentâ

The US could have saved more than 338,000 lives and more than $105bn in healthcare costs in the Covid-19 pandemic with a universal healthcare system, according to a study.
More than 1 million people died in the US from Covid, in part because the countryâs âfragmented and inefficient healthcare systemâ meant uninsured or underinsured people faced financial barriers that delayed diagnosis and exacerbated transmission, the report states.
