Why are they all confounded? Pretty sure they all have insurance that will cover everything. Wealthy people with beach houses have money. Money can solve any problem.

Rich people are rich because they’re misers who hate losing money for any reaosn,and insurance companies are nothing if not profit-driven and have a million ways to weasel out. So we all enjoy the shadenfreude. Whoever loses in this case, we win.

Are you sure about that?

Because when a bunch of rich people lose money, public funds tend to find a way to make them whole

The system is rigged… Private gains and socialized losses. They don’t lose, no matter how dumb they play the game

Insurance will say they will cover everything, except these very specific things which you can apply to most scenarios.

Better yet, put Ben Shapiro in the dune. His gish galloping repugnance should hold back the ocean no problem. If not, well…

I don’t know why, but this made me laugh so hard. They thought they could keep the ocean at bay with a big pile of sand. Oh my sweet summer child.
