A quick definition of self-insured retention:

Self-insured retention is a term used in insurance. It means the amount of money that a person or company has to pay themselves before their insurance policy will start paying for a loss. For example, if someone has a self-insured retention of $1,000 and they have a loss of $5,000, they will have to pay the first $1,000 themselves before their insurance policy will pay the remaining $4,000. Self-insured retention is also known as SIR and is different from a deductible.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Self-insured retention is the amount of money that an insured person or company must pay out of their own pocket before their insurance policy will start covering the rest of the costs. This is different from a deductible, which is a set amount that the insured person or company must pay before the insurance policy starts covering costs.

Example: Let's say a company has a self-insured retention of $10,000 for their property insurance policy. If they have a covered loss that costs $50,000, they will have to pay the first $10,000 out of their own pocket before their insurance policy will start covering the remaining $40,000.

Another example: A person has a self-insured retention of $500 for their car insurance policy. If they get into an accident and the repairs cost $2,000, they will have to pay the first $500 out of their own pocket before their insurance policy will start covering the remaining $1,500.

These examples illustrate how self-insured retention works. It is important to understand the difference between self-insured retention and a deductible, as they can affect how much an insured person or company will have to pay out of their own pocket before their insurance policy starts covering costs.

@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass

I really think it's a lot of political theater right now. I think a huge percentage of these EO's are just going to be shot down.

the news sells fear. that is their product (hence why u see COPD, heart meds, stress/ antidepressants adverts during primtime). We know trump has a big mouth, and when he opens it, he spews nonsense which gets funneled into ur ears- ratings skyrocket.
18:56
not COPD. my bad ^
dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy
18:57
@Dkk: exactly.
dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie
18:58
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh

It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.
but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight
texaslawhopefully
18:59
Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left
19:00
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp
ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians
texaslawhopefully
19:01
And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?
Dkk
19:03
This is just interesting for me to think about.

Wasp do you remember Clinton as president because I do not.
i hadnt developed sentience by 6 years old
19:07
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: lmfao
@texaslawhopefully: actually that was a huge counter biden movement (and harris) re they were held hostage by party politics and any words otherwise were lies that would be walked back, like border action
The radical left views open borders as a human right
they deem us animals who migrate lmfao

Okay, man so huh. I barely remember bush as a kid. I remember my parents complaining about him and telling me why they did not vote for him. I technically had bill clinton too but I would have been 3.
hence migrants
meanwhile you view brown people as aliens
Dkk

Man I am trying to remember what I was doing at 11. I think my family had just moved houses and I was going to a new school.
@windyMagician: yeah lol cant say shit about politics without someone jerking off about race realism
Dkk

@windyMagician: I think it's a pretty mainstream view from the right to view some of them as aliens and some as not.
