A quick definition of franchise clause:

A franchise clause is a rule in an insurance policy that says the insurance company will only pay for damages if they exceed a certain amount. If the damages are less than that amount, the person who bought the insurance is responsible for paying for them. This is different from a deductible, which always has to be paid by the person who bought the insurance. Once the damages exceed the stated amount in a franchise clause, the insurance company will pay for everything.

A more thorough explanation:

A franchise clause is a provision in an insurance policy that states the insurer will only pay a claim if it exceeds a certain amount. If the claim is below that amount, the insured is responsible for all damages. This is different from a deductible, which the insured always has to pay.

Let's say you have a car insurance policy with a franchise clause of $500. If you get into an accident and the damages are $400, you will have to pay for all the damages yourself. However, if the damages are $600, the insurance company will pay for the entire amount.

Another example is a homeowner's insurance policy with a franchise clause of $1,000. If your house is damaged in a storm and the repairs cost $800, you will have to pay for all the repairs. But if the repairs cost $1,500, the insurance company will pay for the entire amount above the $1,000 franchise.

These examples illustrate how a franchise clause works in insurance policies. It is important to understand the terms of your policy and how much you will be responsible for in the event of a claim.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
