This is a mini-version of the banks that take home the profits but if their bets don't work out they want tax payers to bail them out (2008).
I do not even know why I am replying to this stupidity but here it goes since you do not read.

I purchased my 17KW setup in 2006 and NEVER USED IT until 2017 for the mathematically challenged that was 11 years of not needing it.

Prior to the 2004 Hurricane season I lived in Florida for 20 years and never had a storm hit me.


My friend used to be a 1/3 partner in a vacation home in the Abaco's in the Bahamas.

Hurricane coverage on the house would run 10K a year and this was back in the 1980's. They all paid cash for the house so they decided to not insure it and put 10K a year in a trust fund.

20 years later a hurricane tore the house from its foundation and destroyed it.

They had 200K in the fund, the rebuild it for less than that, and then continued to contribute to the fund.

Once my house is paid off I may consider doing the same.

Now lets discuss all those idiots that live in tornado alley.

Then we can discuss all the idiots living in California where they are past due for a yuge earthquake.

Then we can discuss all the idiots that live up North and get hit by Northeasters that are as bad as hurricanes, except with snow.
