Two different policies.

Yes flood insurance is under-written separately, at least for every house I've ever owned. Some sort of government program.

If you have assets, consult with a professional financial planner. In addition to long-term investment/retirement, they help with things like insurance. With competent advise you can get the right policies for your needs, with no loopholes.

A pilot with a lot of assets picking out his own insurance is about the same as a pilot picking stocks for retirement investment... probably amateur hour.

I didn't see a sarcasm smilie, so I guess you're trying to be serious.

Sooo, jcountry, you aimed low and missed wide. Gender-fluid identifying persons are mentioned nowhere in my post, nor in the quoted post of flensr.

Where is your rage; the actuarial tables, insurance corporations, or societal gender politics?

As to your last attempt at insult, my parents were married. 😉

You are missing the point entirely.

The insurance company couldn’t prove whether the house was blown or washed away. They just chose to fight it out in court-with several thousand policyholders.

Correct, as we MSY residents are well aware. FEMA subsidizes the program, or else nobody could afford the premiums.

Why Doesn?t Homeowners Insurance Cover Floods?

Government-subsidized flood insurance is another market-distorting debacle that needs to eventually go away.

And yes, I feel the same way about mortgage interest.

You will never convince someone who does not want to be convinced regardless of you insisting and knowing for an absolute personal fact that we have these types of issues in this country.

Based in this video, he was extremely condescending and I may talk to a child like that, but certainly not an adult. To be fair, he probably would have spoken like that to anyone, Black or White. It was condescending and if she was triggered to believe that race was involved the dynamic of White man in power vs. Black female and the historical context of that should be considered. Had someone spoken to my wife or daughter like that we would have a problem (granted we don't know what transpired and my family knows how to act in public).

And a little more context, I'm Black and a Captain for a major airline...save your time and energy...Fox news is STRONG in the cockpit of most airliners!
I hope you realize he was talking to her condescendingly because he was avoiding the obvious next step of kicking her off the flight.

You stated you'd have a problem with a CA talking to your wife like that, would you have had a problem with him if he didn't go back there at all and just kicked her off from the flight deck.

No one here is acknowledging the stress of him careing that she be allowed to continue. Everyone here is just saying stay up front and eject her at the first sign of trouble.
