    Unfortunately OIC is all about talk and not about any action and we as Washington state taxpayers pay for them to basically have a paycheck. And for one person like me who complains there are a thousand that don't but it doesn't change anything they don't do anything except drain our tax coffers

    I strongly disagree with you punishing my family by taking away a small reward I earned for years and years of budgeting my low income, responsibly using credit, and diligent monitoring my credit and identity. My auto insurance just increased by almost 25% because I have excellent credit (not great wealth) and I am waiting to see what is going to happen to my homeowner's policy. This reminds me of the HARP program when I could not refinance my home at a lower rate because I scraped together every mortgage payment on time - so I did not qualify.

    This is a preposterous idea. I am in no way a fan of insurance companies. However, insurance as an idea, is a way to leverage risk and liability against outcome. There is no racial bias on behalf of assessing a credit score. I hate credit scores in general, but it is the most widely accepted responsible way to gauge how likely a person is to default on obligations. A healthy person gets better insurance rate than an obese person. How is that not discrimination? A person who has minimal to no record of having an auto accident or ticket gets a better insurance rate than a person who is prone to getting into accidents or speeding tickets, how is that not discrimination? Stop labeling everything racist because you are too focused on the "injustices" of people being irresponsible. The state insurance commissioner is not in the business of telling private industry how to market or package "bundling" or "leveraging" risks associated with how to set prices. Just my opinion.

    Please tell Mike Kreidler: How about stopping multiple daily spam/harassment phone calls from health insurance companies - each time a different WA State phone number? This has been going on for months! The callers saying, "Hello? Hello? Are you there?" NO WE'RE NOT. STOP CALLING US. Tell Mike to do his job and get these companies and their "call centers" to stop breaking the law. That's the responsibility of your office, isn't it?

    *4% of Mammals are Wild + 4% of Energy is Renewable + 2% of Energy is Solar & Wind* Total greenhouse gases are up 45% in 30 years. 66% of us will live in water stressed areas by 2025. Water stress will threaten 50% of thermal power capacity . North Euro solar panels work 11% of the time. North Euro onshore wind turbines work 22% of the time. North Euro offshore turbines work 30% of the time. Offshore Texas turbine work 35% of the time. 4% of global energy is renewable. 2% of global energy is solar and wind.

The F-35 fighter jet works 10% of the time. Most solar panels will be un-recyclable garbage. We have to stop burning 50% of fossil fuels in 10 years to survive runaway habitat collapse and hothouse extinction. Weather = flash floods + flash fires + flash mobs + flash infections Climate = 30 years of it From 1971-2018 oceans took up 89% of the 358 zeta joules of net energy from the sun, ice took up 4% of it, land took 6% of it and the lower atmosphere only took 1% From 1971-2018 solar heating averaged 0.47 watts/m² From 2010-2018 heating went up to 0.87 watts/m² = rapid acceleration To force rapid heating back down from 0.87 w/m² we have to cut C02 from 410 ppm to 353 ppm. But we have to go below 350 to 300 ppm CO2 to be safe. *Mass Extinction Numbers* 500 years ago there were so many cod fish that John Cabot thought they would lift his ship out of the water 400 years ago there were more Caribbean sea turtles by weight than buffalo on the plains 300 years ago Passenger pigeon migrations would block out the noon day sun We do not live long enough to notice mass extinctions 97% of great fresh water species gone since 1970 ( Guardian 2019 ) 96% of mammals are livestock and human by weight ( Ecowatch 2018 ) 96% of tigers gone in 100 years ( IFL Science 2019 ) 90% of elephants gone in 100 years ( Hurriet 2019 ) 90% of lions gone in 100 years ( African Impact 2019 ) 90% of Leatherback sea turtles gone since 1980 ( Earth Watch undated ) 90% of Monarch Butterflies gone in 20 years ( Inhabitat 2014 ) 80% of Antarctic Krill gone in 30 years ( Research Gate 2005 ) 77% of Eastern lowland gorillas gone since 1996 ( Treehugger 2020 ) 68% of world’s wildlife has been wiped out since 1970 ( Mongabay 2020 ) 50% of Marine vertebrates gone since 1970 ( WWF 2015 ) 50% of Great Barrier Reef gone since 1985 ( Live Science 2012 ) 40% of Giraffes gone since 1990 ( NRDC 2019 ) 40% less insects in next 30 years ( PNAS 2019 ) 4% of mammals are wildlife ( Vegan News 2020 ) 700 Marine Species Might Go Extinct Because of Plastic ( Green Planet 2019 ) 500 vertebrate species of less than 1,000 individuals ( PNAS 2020 ) 500 species of animal have gone extinct since 1900 ( RD 2019 ) Sources and a vast free use research library is available at Loki's Revenge blog on wordpress , with a special emphasis on pollution and kids zzzzzzz
