Louisianans' property insurance disappears
*Property insurance disappears for Louisianans -- but not for gas
facilities.*
I think I know the reason for this. Fossil fuel extraction is so profitable
that the planet roasters can afford to pay very high insurance rates.
And they do so.
Meanwhile, most homeowners can't afford that much so they have to go
without insurance instead.
Helping people cope with disasters is part of the government's mission.
The government has the responsibility to provide insurance to cover
people's losses, and at the same time move their rebuilding to safer
building methods and safer locations.
Moreover, when something humanly controllable is making disasters
systematically worse, government has the responsibility to counteract
that change.
In the past, making disasters less likely was done with drainage and
seawalls. Nowadays the job must include curbing global heating.
