    If all you see in this is “America bad”, you’re not really paying enough attention.

      So… all the countries in the world that are not first-world nations are “bad” in your eyes? Interesting…

        What an amazingly inept attempt to turn around your own claim on someone else to avoid their actual point.

        I have no idea what point you’re making here. America could be some kind of super-fantastic utopia and there’d still be wildfires in California, because that’s just the sort of climate and terrain that much of California has. Conversely, there could be some utter craphole of a country that happens to be located in a place with a nice stable climate and no natural disasters to speak of.

        This insurance trouble is not related to the “first worldness” of the country. It’s just about people building in places that are turning out to not be economically sustainable to keep building in due to changing conditions.
