single-pay disaster insurance = massive subsidy to building in disasterland + busted budgets when disaster strikes
The new California insurance commissioner campaigned on a single-payer model for disaster insurance called “Natural Disaster Insurance for All.”

Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

BREAKING: California voters just passed Prop 37. Buyers of newly built homes can now put down 3% instead of 20%. How: the state lends you the other 17% as a second mortgage, funded by up to $25 billion in bonds. On an $800,000 home that's $24,000 down instead of $160,000.

I told you guys last year, JD Vance is subhuman. The Republican party is a joke. Should have listened to me, good riddance.

Trump winning in ‘24 bolstered these delusions. They misattributed a GOP victory as an affirmation of their world view instead of what it was and always has been - a con job by a man motivated by greed, self-preservation, and narcissism
MAGA built a fantasy world in their online echo chambers, and then they just assumed that that fantasy world was real and that the rest of the country lived there too.

Wild to think that Californians may have elected someone without any insurance experience whatsoever, and a lot of kooky (silly) ideas on the topic, to insurance commissioner, a position that plausibly has the most direct line to raising or lowering the cost of living.

This lady crashed the housing pipeline for San Francisco a decade ago and now she’s going to crash like anything that requires home or auto insurance in the entire state of California.
4.8 million votes counted and the only statewide race worth watching is the Insurance Commissioner race, with progressive Jane Kim narrowly up 51.7%/48.3% over State Senator Ben Allen in a D vs D race

The logic here is that the Jets have accumulated so many picks that they need to start using them instead of accumulating more - but I’d argue that if you trust your ability to scout and select talent, more picks would be useful than Wilson himself.

By the time the players selected with their flurry of picks start to shine and reach their prime, Wilson will be declining and less useful. Seems like it would be more productive to pair more young players together than an older, declining, expensive star
