The price mechanism 🥰 #CaliforniaFires #economics

”High insurance prices are how the market both signals that an area is a risky place to live […] When governments mess with insurance prices—either through subsidies, cheap public insurance, or price controls—the result is always the same. More people move to dangerous areas that are highly susceptible to natural disasters. (1/2)

In 1988, California passed a law that forced insurance prices down by 20 percent, banned providers from using forecasts of future risk to set prices, and subjected all future price increases to government oversight.

Quoting nostr doesn’t seem to work. Here’s the OP.

Reject taxes, embrace voluntary lotteries https://mostr.pub/objects/2e40e8441991fb48010bf2839aacc5d57d7f970bdcf4e90ad79a09bd16873537

@mr_penguin I probably would’ve if I lived in the states. But it’s too big a step to leave the old world ☹️

@h4890 You can see why that’s necessary. It will be interesting to see how all these kids turn out

Spent the whole last weekend with a couple of other families with kids around 5 years old. Very nice, but also horrifying to see how many kids have seemingly unlimited access to iPads. And one kid refused to eat actual food because he knew he’d get candy later. #parenting

@benroyce Censorship is the way? 🙄

@mr_penguin Don’t you think violence against a tyrant (in general, not necessarily Trump or Harris) is self defense?

@lucifargundam @icedquinn They made it for profit but obviously failed in this general example. More people would’ve liked it and the profit would increase if they didn’t include political messages.

@freemo I just got blocked for this ⬇️ It’s amazing how many will block you immediately if you reply to their public post without 100 % agreeing with them. https://mastodon.nu/@torparskytt/112944420059920099

@cjd Got me reading up on this. That’s interesting. Even a pretty clear constitution won’t stop the state from growing like cancer. It would be very interesting to see this and other cases similar to it overturned.

@sun Yeah, it’s only when the attacker starts attacking a police officer - who’s wrestling a bystander? - the police stop him 😵💫

@BeAware Seems like it would be very doable for an app developer to automatically load replies from the original post’s instance whenever you open/look at a post, but I’m no developer.

I see 4 replies to this post with #IvoryApp and 13 with #MonaApp, at least when using Mona’s option to manually load the post from the other instance (and this goes for most posts from other instances in my experience.) 🤔 #mastodon #fediverse https://mastodon.social/@eff/112521099475924201

@rasmusfleischer Man kan tycka att det är grundläggande kunskap för en sparekonom…

”För unga män i åldrarna 16–24 är det knappt tre gånger högre risk efter en boosterdos med Comirnaty jämfört med om du bara är vaccinerad med första och andra dos Comirnaty”. Jämförelse med 0 doser hade ju också varit intressant. https://officiell-info.se/@lakemedelsverket/112008280967010179

@linus Den där var jag nog för obeläst för att fatta 😇

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin is a meme goldmine. #TuckerCarlson
