6/1 Question on home ownership. Let's say you buy flood, fire,
earthquake, and land-slide insurance. Then a foreign unidentified
object enters the atmosphere and creates a big crater in your home
making it worthless. Are you covered by anyone, like the government?
Secondly, suppose you decide not to get one of the insurance, since
it costs too much to buy everything, and that particular disaster
strikes making your land totally worthless. Are you covered? Or are
you completely screwed? How about the case where they suddenly
find carcinogeous, radio-active material in your backyard? Who/what
covers these things?
\_ Are you in a swing state in an election year? If so, notify the
federal government at once, and they will buy you a new house, and
give you a gold-plated flying saucer for your trouble.
\_ I seem to recall a Warner Bros cartoon about just this sort of
thing. The policy fine print didn't cover, for instance, injury
from guided missiles. -- ulysses
\_ Do they still broadcast American cartoons, or is it pretty much
Japanized? Last time I watched cartoon a year ago it was mostly
Japanese anime. I'm not sure if I learned anything useful
from Pokemon and Digimon. PIKA! PIKA! PIKACHU!
\_ I learned that it's better for pokemon to be friends, and that
Team Rocket blasted off again.
\_ If you ever get into a situation involving strange temporal
rifts (ala Donnie Darko) then you're covered.
\_ #1 and #2: your insurance company won't pay you, but you may be able
to get some kind of disaster aid. #3: your insurance company won't
pay you, but you can probably sue the govt. or some company to get
compensated.
\_ You can sue God and get compensated in your next life.
\_ Ebay the "foreign object". Substances from "foreign objects"
that enter the atmosphere are in pretty high demand from shadowy
groups seeking to create nefarious objects of evil from them. Such
as Happy Fun Ball. Warning: do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. -John |
