Insurance industry: Conservative ideology is just plain dumb

link.

on climate change:

Rejecting conservatives? opposition to the fight against climate change, [the insurance industry?s official think tank, the Geneva Association] issued a study documenting ?a significant upward trend in the insured losses caused by extreme weather events.? It concluded that the insurance industry should fight back against the conservative movement?s attempts to downplay climate change fears and ?play an active role in raising awareness of risk and climate change.? It also called for a ?transition to a low-carbon economy? and ?the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions? because that ?will ultimately create a more resilient society.?
​

on guns:

a dispatch from the Des Moines Register, which reported that the company insuring most Kansas schools ?has refused to renew coverage for schools that permit teachers and custodians to carry concealed firearms on their campuses.? The announcement was a rebuke to a new Kansas law that responded to the Newtown, Conn., school massacre by permitting gun owners to carry firearms in schools.
​

that's one industry that puts their money where their mouth is.

I'm sure the insurance company handling the Texas schools would gladly step in

assuming they subsidized by the State of Texas or the gun industry... otherwise they figure to be losing money there.

Texas has strict tort laws...insurance is cheap

Can you explain the reasoning in your posts better, rather than just making vague references to Texas?

I can't imagine why an insurance company or it;s shareholders would be worried about covering a school with guns permitted inside.

I mean what could go wrong?

a "bad guy" might get shot and killed, and some namby-pamby "liberal" will argue in court that the guy's "rights" were violated and sue the school and the hero who shot him. duh!
