After the East Coast inland floods, insurance payouts may not come: people learning (most painfully) that the first concern of companies is not their customers, but their shareholders. As such, they will put their profits and financial viability before the people who are paying them every time.

A black cemetary was found in Virginia when Microsoft started building a new office. It got moved, quietly, without fanfare or fuss, beneath the noses of the people whose ancestors were buried there. And this quiet squirrelling away of human remains and burial grounds apparently isn't unusual when businesses, organisations, and corporations come upon black cemetaries - many of which aren't publically recorded in the way of white-and-general cemetaries.

Rapture Anxiety: I had a 'rapture anxiety' period myself. I don't remember if I grew out of it, or if I realised that that wasn't what the biblical teaching was. Also: if God had 'signed, sealed, and delivered' me as I was taught, then whatever happened, I was His. Wasn't His grace enough? And if it wasn't, then why was I bothering with God in the first place?

Phosphorus: you've rarely heard of it, but you'll starve for want of it: it's a report from the UK, but what's happening in the UK is happening everywhere, and this is somethign that we're not going to notice...until the harvests fail.

Our flood insurance is only from the government and does not cover 100% of the property. It doesn't cost $25K, though. Well, where I live it doesn't.

That's too bad. Sounds like what the medical insurance companies are doing here.
