BL using insurance as a means to make rioting tolerable is a laugh. There's a good chance those businesses won't be covered by insurance since the damage was not a natural catastrophe, fire, wind, storms, ..... And even if they are covered who the h3ll does he think really pays for the damage? The insurance company? Yeah, right! The people buying the insurance end up paying for the damage in higher premium rates.

You thought it through!

Not to mention, if a business is damaged or burned to the ground, the fact they "they have insurance" doesn't get the business magically rebuilt and back in operation the next day.  It may take many months for them to go through the red tape of dealing with the insurance company to get their claims processed, get some money in hand, and then do the work to get the building repaired or rebuilt and eventually reopened.

That's many months of lost (taxable) revenue for the business owner, plus many months of lost wages by the employees of the company.

I thought BL advocated for the working class folks.  I guess the truth is that he really doesn't if they're inconvenient to his larger agenda.

tec,  BL is a Democrat.  They are for the non-working class.

If your business isn't profitable enough to have your facility and any inventory you have insured, you probably weren't going to be around for long anyway.  Who the hell doesn't have insurance on their business?

If you have a business in Ferguson, you are probably paying 5 to 10 times more for insurance than a place that doesn't have riots.

That is providing any insurance company would even want to insure it.

Not true.

Raucous, I'm honestly on your side in this, but you just sounds so stupid it's borderline unbelievable...

Not only do you not know the laws regarding insurance coverage, BL told you what they were and you just ignored it and continued to spew utterly incorrect bullshit...  No wonder so many of my friends who lean left are convinced Republicans are stupid...

Well, when a self-proclaimed Republican blames a business owner with no insurance for losing his business due to a riot, your lefty friends are right.

As an unaffiliated voter, I think most Democrats and Republicans are stupid.

There's plenty of stupid on the extreme of either side.

You're a Republican in unaffiliated clothing.

No.  I'm a moderate conservative.  That has nothing to do with party affiliations.

Nothing?

Do you think a moderate conservative is more likely to be Republican or Democrat?

You may not buy into the GOP 100% (most conservatives don't) but you certainly fall into the same bucket that dahs was referring to.

No.  Nothing.

Feel free to label me as a Republican as you wish.

That doesn't make me one.

I think dahs' point stands if you replace "Republicans" with conservatives.

Do you speak for dahs?

Does dahs speak for you?

No, but it's not a secret that a lot of people view conservatives as stupid.

It's obviously not true of all conservatives, but an ideology that denies science and supports people like Palin and Trump probably deserves that reputation.
