It is actually and you don't understand the context. It's the largest loss in insurance history. How do you find that to be a meaningless metric.

And again. The point of my response was to illustrate the misinformation. As much as you want to downplay it 2 billion is a noteworthy and significant loss.

    Insured property damage just wasn't the purpose or intent of BLM. Illustrating it as such works just as much towards misinformation as the offending meme, if not more.

    It most certainly does. It demonstrates just how gargantuan these protests were. They resulted in the most costly protest-related property damage in American history.

    And no, it is not misinformation. It is an objectively verifiable fact.

    If people cannot comprehend the significance of $2 billion, there is not much I can do about that. That is a failure of our educational system, which is an entirely different issue in and of itself.

    But downplaying the damage is disingenuous at best and outright pandering at worst.
