Education system has failed so many people its sad. Yes we should allow all the businesses To burn so insurance companies have to pay out to rebuild the city and then their insurance rates spike, causing the product they sell to spike. Then we will throw more fits when we cannot afford to live in said city

Rational thought doesn’t enter into it frankly. People arguing in favor of burning down private businesses are acting animalistic.

Not to mention, with very few exceptions, insurance never makes you whole.

It’s there in case shite happens out of your control to lessen the damages. Riots so people can steal stuff is a bullshite Reason to take a loss. Not to mention most of these businesses are likely hurting due to COVID closures.

So frick these people.

They are retards who have never had a single responsibility in their life. Their parents pay for everything clearly


No possible way they have ever tried to file an insurance claim

Not only that, but it’s not true that insurance companies always cover losses from riots. And even when it is covered, lost business during rebuilding isn’t necessarily covered.

It’s a lie that insurance covers it.

The vast majority of insurance policies have built in exclusions for losses suffered in riot , insurrection and war. So many of these businesses just had their lives completely destroyed and face total financial ruin.

now that this has gone on a few nights I think the “they gots insurance” retort was just the left’s poorly thought knee jerk reaction to justify rioting.

they’ve gotten more creative since by blaming white supremacists and apparently hundreds of outside agitators have congregated in every major city in America committing all the violence.

From one of our local liberals who stated, and I'm paraphrasing, it is ok to burn down corporations because they have insurance and their owners are rich.

Then when brought up they are burning down smaller business the same individual stated those building can be brought back with government funds

People are fricking dumb. Most don't understand that companies don't take these losses.

You steal merchandise... they raise prices to recover money. You destroy shite and insurance pays out... insurance rates go up. You destroy government buildings in your city... your taxes pay to rebuild.

Even if insurance companies do cover it, how does that make it ok? It’s like when people who would condemn stealing from a store but are fine with “getting over” on an insurance company. This is still hurting someone (the insurance company)!even if insurance fully covers it( which has already been pointed out is not guaranteed in a lot of cases). Also if I know my neighbor has full coverage insurance, is it ok for me to go bash his car to bits just because insurance will cover it?

because people are stupid

Insurance may cover the damages and sign you that lovely check. They won't pay you the month+ of loss income due to rebuilding though.. that month income that was to pay 10 workers and the lease.

So Mr and Mrs [insert name here] and their 20+ year old business that has been the go-to place for the thousands of people who have been there since their youth is now in shambles and since they're now in their 60s, they decide to pack up and call it a career. Not worth rebuilding, risking it all, and stress.

Now you just lost a piece of history

And even if insurance covers the loss, there’s this little thing called a deductible. And future premium increases due to a claim. And across the board increases for everyone due to widespread losses.

frick all these people.

By that same logic I should not have to care about giving COVID to anyone with health insurance.

Twitter warriors who’ve never owned a business and know nothing about insurance just trying to justify their hatred.

It's not that simple. Many small businesses have landlords. When a building burns down, both the landlord and the business owner would have to be insured and indemnified. In cases where the landlord isn't properly insured and the landlord doesn't have the money to rebuild, the business owner is forced to move or go out of business.

I bet they’d be pissed if someone burned their insured car or house.

Plus it’s businesses that were probably already suffering due to Rona.
