Between 30 to 50 people swarmed the Nordstrom at the Westfield Topanga Mall in Woodland Hills, making off with thousands of dollars worth of luxury handbags and high-end clothing, an LAPD spokesman told NBC News.

      You know insurance isn’t actually limitless money and increased insurance payouts actually affect all other policy holders (like all the other businesses in the area including mom and pop shops) by the function of what insurance does, right?

      It’s not just fucking magic.

        Some people dont seem to grasp how all of this works. They seem to think the insurance fairy will pay for the damages and not the businesses (and finally the customers).

        You know, because obviously I’m a complete moron who has never had an intelligent thought in their life, in your estimation, I’d never thought about that…

        Of course premiums will go up. Insurance agencies are predatory scumbags, too. But I still have a hard time feeling sorry for luxury brands having to pay slightly higher premiums than they were before. Shockingly, its still just things.

        I know some people put the value of things over all else, but I find that to be a shortsighted and selfish way of thinking.
