White Supremacy Math

NY Times: Capitol Riot Costs Will Exceed $30 Million, Official Tells Congress
The architect of the Capitol and other officials told lawmakers that the physical and psychological toll of the Jan. 6 riot — including damaged artifacts and staff trauma — will be extensive.
Wow, that's horrible.

Axios on last summer's riots: Exclusive: $1 billion-plus riot damage is most expensive in insurance history [bold added]
The protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful, but the arson, vandalism and looting that did occur will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims — eclipsing the record set in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of the police officers who brutalized Rodney King.
The summer riots caused 33 to 67 times the damage of January 6th, but pointing this out is probably white supremacy math.
