Let me tell ya, the incessant bitching about this public art installation (which is fine by the way) doesn’t do anything to make Boston seem less racist.

Name a bigger failure public art installation?

Have you seen the picture it was modeled after, didn't even do a good job with the try

Should look into whoever got paid for this thing for kickbacks

I dont struggle with reading at all I belive its within human nature for people to read things and interpret it different ways. (Or am I wrong about that one as well) I read what the bicycle comment above says and interpret it as the bicyclist blowing past 30 suvs by going through a red light. Regardless am I wrong in saying that a lot of bikes do go through red lights and put themselves in danger? Again not saying cars are better, but am I wrong? No I don't think I am

I believe that's up to interpretation/the way you read because I read it the opposite way and read it as blasting past suvs going through a red light. Regardless bikers running red lights, just like cars, is very much a problem

So do you struggle with reading or were you just excited to respond to something the op didn’t say? They didn’t say blowing through a red light, they said passing cars stopped at a red light. You’re not required to que up behind stopped traffic.

Because I would bet FEMA is the insurer of last resort and they have to take a much wider band of applicants - and they have to balance their books according to federal regulations. So FEMA ends up with a lot of people who can;t get flood insurance anywhere else because the regular insurers have pulled out of the market.

I expect if you read through their financials you would see exactly how much they took in in premiums and how much they paid out. All,of that is publicly record and available for review if you want to review it.

Florida has this problem right now where the state insurer of last resort is caught having to many applicants and having to cover much more than it had ever anticipated. And this is because the normal insurance companies are either pulling off the coast of Florida or out of the state entirely.
