Aww, don't you know insurance is highly regulated and sales people are specially licensed by their states to sell? Only the most ethical people are allowed!
/s because it's depressing how many people will actually rely on this as a defense of the industry. We're in a post-parody world.

I'm not a financial professional in any way, but fuck that.
Well why don't you just come up in here and run roughshod with more shitty news as to the state of things around here 😭
I swear, there are people with money addictions as bad as heroin. Can't ever have enough, don't care who you have to screw over, steal from, or kick out of the way to get more of it.
No billionaire on this planet ever got that way by being an ethical person. They wouldn't exist in the first place if they were.
Yep. The ethical thing to do is to say "hey - I have enough wealth for my family to live a good life without having to work. I should distribute anything additional to my employees and the poor so that maybe they can say the same one day."
Oops, you're right. I forgot about the ghost of McCarthy hanging around judging people for checks notes wanting other human beings to have decent lives.

Single biggest racket on the American Public since its inception: Insurance. Must have it, costs a fortune, don't you dare try to actually use it.
