$2M each, right? Right?!
I agree this seems low, but this is just a settlement with the city. Hopefully they'll get more from other organizations.
One of the many things that suck about these situations is that the money comes from the community, so they get the worst outcomes on both sides no matter what.
It comes from the insurance companies pocket to whom the community has been paying premium for a long time. It has been paid for such an eventuality. Maybe the premium might go up a bit but the whole amount doesnt come from communities pocket.
Communities will pay well over 2 million in increasing premiums assuming they can even get insurance after this.

ITT: I never thought I'd have to tag users as "Uvalde Apologists"
Can we tag users? How? I just block all apologists for all heinous shite.
I do it through sync not sure what other apps have that function. It's only for your personal viewing and I tend not to block people because I want to see the comment for the drama, but now I know not to interact with that person.
So it's a feature of the app you're using and not Lemmy itself? I think having a tagging functionality would also be good for Lemmy.
