Awww, you cant quit me!!

Further to @Spekulatius comments from the Ryan call yesterday, the latest Brown & Brown market assessment is out. Certainly not as optimistic and robust as previous versions but still claims there are pockets where pricing will hold up. https://www.bbrown.com/us/insight/market-trends-report-2026-outlook/

At least youre acknowledging the cult part now.

Ive done them for GLG.and Prosapient. Financial stuff as well. Much more Prosapient. I think theyre UK based but do a lot of US consulting.

When you support the pedophiles over the people wanting to expose them. The Trump cult has fully sucked you into its realm. Its just plastic surgery and dancing to YMCA from here on.

Yes, you got me. Im obsessed with rooting out and punishing pedophiles. In your book that seems to make me more evil than them. Truly a cult.

Again...framing. The discussion was around whether Epstein would bring down Trump and you claimed it was an old.story and people had other things to think about. We are talking about child porn because the President of the United States is mentioned one million times in the files of a convicted pedophile he was good friends with. And then he refuses to release the files despite it.being the law and him claiming to support it. You are the one that keeps.bringing it back to ranting about the people who want the files released.

The law requires them to release the unredacted files and the DOJ is preventing that. The same DOJ that is so anxious to bring charges against Trump enemies that they have been rejected by the Grand Jury multiple times! Tell me thats not corrupt. Again, you seem to want to attack those who simply want to punish pedophiles and not the actual pedophiles

Talk about a frame job, that could go in a museum!! Nobody is asking for the materials for a watch party. They're asking for them to force charges to be brought by a DOJ that is so corrupt it is literally breaking the law by not releasing them. Again, youre more concerned with the people upset here than the people committing the crime.

I love how you're more offended by people upset at pedophilia than by the actual pedophilia. So you want him to stand on the front steps and talk about what he's seen in the hope that whatever news outlets will slip it into the 15 minutes of news each day instead of putting it out to 10's of millions in a couple of minutes. You're the one always complaining about the dumb media - he's going directly to the people. And if youre paying attention (and you have other thi gs to think about) then everyone will pay attention.

Certainly haven't been this rabid for 8 years but very glad that its back in the spotlight because it didnt go away. If the President wasnt in there it probably would have just died out (unfortunately). I guess we.can thank Trump for making it a story again! Im not sure how this relates to a sports documentary unless the athletes were raping children (and the athletes were the head of the country).

If people had better things to do with their lives this 8 year old story would have died out long ago. Its the fact that the President (who is mentioned in the files a million times) campaigned on releasing the files. And then refused to do so. And when forced by law have still refused to do so. It just screams guilt. The drama whores seem to include every woman in the party who sees the files and is repulsed. When MTG, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert all come out of the room in tears and go against Trump in this one issue (and only this issue) you know its bad. Its easy to put this behind him if he's innocent. Release the files. Then this story only held.up by drama whores and conspiracy theorists will die away

Then nail all of them!! Start at the top and work down or start at the bottom and work up. The fact is that its hard to discern involvement or level of guilt (or innocence!) because rhey refuse to release the unredacted files in full as required by law and supported by Trump himself. Those peabrained politicians seem to have found the evidence and balls to subpoena the Clinton's (before backing away because they dont want to do it publicly) but not the current President? Nail them all. Stop hiding if you've got nothing to hide.

Sounds like Kayak but for home and car insurance.

Almost every broker down 5% today. Did I miss some analyst downgrade on the sector?

Reminds me of Carneys speech at Davos and the sign in the windows reference

Not sure govt can mandate specific pricing (esp a republican govt!) Didnt they already issue MFN for what CMS will pay for some drugs? But the effect is expected to increase international prices as opposed to reducing US prices.

I think "cult" is the word youre looking for.

Maybe the racism is intended to distract from the pedophilia.

Why is this stupid? Gas tax is shrinking rapidly and doesnt hit EV drivers. Registration taxes everyone the same regardless of how much you drive. You can get insurance that works this way. This has the people who use the roads most pay more than those who dont. The current system isnt going to work much longer so why not talk about something where users pay more?

Hes "predicting" that or praying it to stay afloat?

Why $55k? I get people who say $80k because thats kinda where it is today and people want to believe we are at a bottom. But $55k feels a bit like wanting a decent cushion to today's price but hoping we are close. Is there any rationale to 55 that I'm missing vs another number?

In my 20's I watched Catherine OHara, John Candy, Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy doing a performance of mostly ad libbed material at Second City in Toronto. It was one of the funniest nights of my life. RIP.

Thanks for the color. It sounds like their frustration is with the excess capital looking to get placed as opposed to the brokers who are just looking for well priced coverage for their clients (granted the brokers seem to be driving a lot of the coming together of the excess capital into fronting and other vehicles).

It seems to be all over the place. My insurer sent me a renewal notice at like 30% price increases. So I called my broker and asked what was going on. She shopped it a bit and my new insurance is 20% less than I paid last year! I dont know if its companies looking to manage regional exposures or what but prices should not be that far apart.
