   Because their lives are meaningless and drab without an injection of artificial competition?

   It still has the title. But they’ve given up on doing the job.

   Protectionism is a realistic tactic to protect local businesses when a foreign GOVERNMENT is involved in artificially lowering prices for apparently comparable import (to us) goods. Not ideal, but realistic.

   The “serving size” on some foods is laughable. Sometimes waaay small so they can claim you don’t get too much salt or sugar per serving. And sometimes really huge so they can claim you get whole GRAMS of protein. (Yep, they seem to depend on the idea that “seven GRAMS” of protein must sound like a lot (that’s a quarter of an ounce, btw).

   I think we all agree that the orange mistake will abrogate whatever rules there are. But rather than mere “bang” flags, I’d expect something that SEEMS like they should be far more lethal than a regular bullet, but… in the end, reverses course and bites the hands that fired them.

    Yep. That’s what insurance IS (in theory): A way to spread the actual cost of “rare” bad events across a large group of the insured. Obviously, even in the best circumstances when the probability of a bad event goes up (and if the the number of insured stays level), so must the rates. And of course if the average price of recovering goes up, so must the rates. The other thing insurers do is decline to serve homes in places where the odds or the price go sharply up.
