To hell with facts, it’s BELIEF that matters. Doesn’t matter if you believe lies...as long as you *believe* the voices in your head! Can’t be a lie if you believe it, is that the thing?
You want me to provide another 20 references? These numbers originate from the insurance industry and most likely undercount because they cover only insurance losses, not underinsured or uninsured. Insurance industry keeps track of their payouts, they report it, that's how we put numbers on disasters whether it's a hurricane, earthquake or riot.
