@doctorow

Until 2017, the biggest bill Americans ever paid for a year’s worth of “natural disasters” was $214.8B, back in 2005: in 2017, it was at least $300B, not counting much of the damage to Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria.

@doctorow

fucking idiots and they owe the rest of us at least $300,000,000 for 2017.

Only 3 hundred million? Why are we letting them off for only 1/1000th of the bill? Or are you just missing a full set of zeros?
