But doesn't federal flood insurance basically favor the rich? Sounds like a good program to get rid of.

IIRC section 230 is what protects social media companies from liability for whats posted on their platforms.

I'm sure that would go over well with Musk.

They obviously won't be enforcing it on companies that are friendly to the administration.

In dollar terms, yes, but lots of people have mandated flood insurance. It may just be a plan to funnel federal subsidies to private insurance plans, but if they really cut it that will fuck thousands during the next Gulf hurricane.

Happy that Morning Joe reached out and tried to reconcile.

Morning Joe was my morning show of choice when I was travelling and living in hotel rooms. They had good guests, insights and "both sides". And then 2016 happened and IMO they became way too partisan and the Fox equivalent.

I'll let things settle down some and then give them another shot.

MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, fierce critics of President-elect Donald Trump, say they traveled to Mar-a-Lago for a meeting with him to reopen lines of communication that would better serve their morning show viewers.

On Monday’s show, the hosts said they had reached out to Trump last Thursday and met with him the next day. “It was the first time we have seen him in seven years,” Brzezinski said.

She said Trump was “cheerful, upbeat,” even as the three of them discussed issues they disagreed on.
