    Maybe they should have analyzed and prepared for risks that someone could project and price like those actuaries do for….insurers.

      well, until that’s required of them, businesses will just get beat by someone with the same success as then that doesn’t save money for a Rainy day. any money not being spent to make more money is wasted to them.

      and remember, the companies aren’t people. the people with money in them also have money in 1000 other companies. they’re not actually that concerned about them succeeding long term. they have more to gain by pushing fast and hard knowing that 80% of them will fail because the few that don’t are worth around a trillion dollars.

        Your point is well made, I’m not sure you caught my sarcasm in noting that they literally (well, supposedly) have precisely the expertise and processes to have seen the fire claim risks here or hurricane risks in the south or tornados in the midwest and mitigated their own exposure accordingly….but you’re right - roll the dice and win and they rake in the cash today and F tomorrow.
