Insurance is NOT a scam
Publicly listed “insurance companies” are complete scams; go read Nick Szabo’s essay on this (Shelling out maybe?)
The creation of the company as a legal entity with capability to share risk and reward, occurred in the same timeline as insurance - the ability for a group to protect downside from long-tail risks - and together they unlocked more risk taking, and consequently great exploration and human flourishing
Where insurance stopped serving their core purpose was when they became public and the shareholders, rather than the policy holders, became the focus
Think about it .. no insurance company should EVER be publicly listed; it conflicts with, and undermines the core purpose
.. and so, arrive at the complete clusterfuck that publicly listed insurance companies now are

Ideas are NOT own-able as property, only the implementation of an idea ..
.. but legions of lawyers have worked hard over decades to subvert this basic tenet with patent ring-fencing strategies that ultimately cost huge amounts of $ to establish, to defend, and to challenge. This creates a huge legal moat for incumbents to prevent innovators and challengers entering their arena

- politicians and their staff didn't get paid until operational again, AND
- during shutdown, total media ban on all political interviews (GASP!)
