So if the roles were reversed and a privately owned US based ship took out a bridge in Singapore and the ships insurance didn't cover the total cost, the US taxpayer should be liable for the difference?

Here's the rub on this.

The insurance money shouldn't stop flowing until the insurance company is bankrupt and their BoD is bankrupt. Not wink-wink Chapter 11 bankrupt, panhandling at side of freeway bankrupt. It's on their ass - they made gobs of money for decades, time to see the other side of it.

Then you can start making the US taxpayer liable for the difference.

I feel this way about a lot of industries and insurance companies in particular.



- an alternative payment would be for Singapore Airlines to do some consulting work for the US carriers to teach them how not to suck as bad.

How are the songs coming?

Post them and we'll critique them.

This is a safe space.

How do you feel about that fact that we, as humans, are trapped in a closed system with no escape, thrust into this world against our will with no escape from the fact you and everyone you love are doomed to die?

How does that compare with the angst of knowing the FED is going to put tax dollars toward rebuilding a bridge?

Your tax dollars at work.

Britannia is one of 12 mutual insurers included in the International Group of P&I Clubs, which maintains more than $3 billion of reinsurance cover, sources familiar with the matter told Insurance Business.

Britannia itself is liable for the first $10 million in damages, both FT and Insurance Business reported. Whatever remains is dealt with by the wider mutual insurance group and Lloyd's of London, a reinsurance market in the UK, according to FT.

But will the feds pay for the full cost of White Replacement?

And what color were the cargo pants that the ships‘ crew were wearing?

And who let the container ships get so big? Maybe our insatiable appetite for foreign goods is to blame

These diesel engine problems are virtually always caused by failure to clean out diesel tank sludge caused by the "diesel bug":

You should read that book The Ferryman by Justin Cronin.

Actually, don't, it's terrible. Well, maybe if you've never explored the sci-fi/fantasy genre in any form whatsoever. It'll be fresh then.


Still better than The Curator by Owen King. That was just... bad. Apple fell on the road somewhere between Melbourne and Perth. I think it has the record for lowest rating score on goodreads of all non-hate mail campaigns. And yes, at 2.98, even lower than Keyshawn Johnson's Just Give Me The Damn Ball at 3.00, which I had previously considered the benchmark for worst book of all time.

At least all of them were free. :roflmao:
