Re-insurance market July 1

Lloyds of London the worlds largest reinsurance market has just instituting new premium policy for catastrophic loss in the US.  reinsurance premium have risen by 50% starting July 1, 2023.

This is catastrophic for the US insurance market, because it means that large US insurance company are no longer able to offload part of the catastrophic loss risk that has grown exponentially over the past decade or so.

We have already seen an important shift with the disappearance of casualty insurance in California and Florida, because of either fire risk in California or flooding and hurricane risk in Florida.

The most interesting aspect of the US right view of global warming is it inability to understand how others will view it. The reinsurance market, cares little for US policy or politics. They are entirely driven by profits and right now in California and Florida the risk is no longer worth it, catastrophic losses in US insurance markets has made this market unappealing to the global market place for insurance 

It matters little what the GOP presidential nominee says about insurance and or the lack there of the reality is the market is cold in addition, did US has cut its only source of domestic pure, catastrophic coverage by the recent reduction in US federal expenditure. In fact, the GOP‘s own policies in Congress and the Senate have ensured that is more difficult now for Americans to obtain insurance because the lifeline of the government is no longer available

 There is no doubt that a doubling of premium for catastrophic insurance in the US has a massive impact on the US insurance industry. It’s unclear how insurance company will deal with the issue at this time. One thing they have done already is reduce in the most expose region to the risk of catastrophic losses that’s how the market reacts.

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b)...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
