Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade who still has a job after saying we should kill the homeless and people with mental health issues (while his other co-hosts were talking about throwing them in prisons or mental institutions)?
That Brian Kilmeade?
Hey he didn’t say we should kill them he said we should “involuntarily euthanize” them. That’s the problem with politics today people refuse to acknowledge nuance. /s
Classic libs not being able to take a joke
He’s the only person to be on Fox and friends since the early 00s the others have cycled in and out, I’m not shocked that he’s the worst
Trump is about to find out that ship owners won’t risk hundreds of millions per ship on an uninsurable voyage just to stroke his ego.
It’s not even just the price of a ship and cargo at risk. Lead times are around 2.8 to 3 yrs for crude tankers and around 3.5 yrs for LNG carriers. That’s a long time to not be able to conduct business even if insurance did pay out. It is 100% rational to sit out a few weeks to figure out how to resume operations safely rather than trying to sneak through and hope for the best.
Yeah, especially since they have promised its only going to be 3 weeks. It’s almost as if that was a lie.
Well, at least Trump is well known for paying his debts.
Oddly, due to maritime law, it’s the cargo owners who would have to pay if the ship was only damaged but not sunk.
Alternatively wasn’t he floating some kind of mandatory insurance scheme? mandatory in the sense that the insurer can’t refuse. Sounds like a great time to liquidate some ageing stock for yhuge profits.
No. Reinsurance “scheme” lets an insurer transfer all risk. If US government is willing to pay the insurer $100M, then they will charge the ship $1M or $99M for the voyage, but keep $100M total. Brian Kilmede will not volunteer to be crew on the ships no matter the pay, either.
Should’ve involuntarily added him to the crew of that genius “submarine”. Missed our chance.
Oh it is insurable all right. You just have to pay what is called the “war premium”. I bet they wouldn’t like what comes through the strait anyway.
Apparently the maritime insurance market writes about $1b per year, around .005% of hull value to 1-3% - which exceeds the profit margin.
Lol the peer pressure argument for oil tankers.
What an absolute moron! I don’t know any other democracy that has such stupid people so regularly on TV.
For fucks sake USA is a shithole country of the worst kind.Not only that, some of them were picked right out of their pundit jobs to be in the administration like Kegsbreath
Goddam that speech about death and destruction raining on Iran from the sky!
Those people are insane.
"Take massive financial risks to help Trump mitigate the cost he didn’t consider at all, of his dumb decision to go to war-not-war with Iran "
Why would oil tanker crews (which are more than likely made up of non-americans) care about “showing some guts” just so some American gas guzzlers can have cheaper fuel?
The idea here is providing Trump public support for attacking Iran. He’s in the tank even with his own people, but if a bunch of sailors die he can gain support…I mean probably not but Fox isnt known For its nuance
if i could direct this to kilmeade i would, “get on one of those tankers and pilot it through yourself coward”
A house slave, a Karen, and a Nazi walk into a bar…
Don’t let your kids in uncle Tom’s cabin
Hey Brian, why don’t you use your own money to buy a tanker and go through the strait yourself? Show some guts Brian!
What a piece of shit.
After you, dumbass.
Same message could be given to US naval superpower. “Just go near Iran you chickenshits.” instead of staying out of drone range. The tankers in question were supposed to be getting US navy escorts.
Yeah! Just grow a pair and Mojo Risin that shit. What consequences could there possibly be?
🛳️+🛢️+🔥
i was going to say insurace companies hate this simple trick but iirc, they tend not to cover for act of war loses
Yeah what are you a bunch of capital lists wanting to be certain you will make a profit?
(Sarcasm)
