- rcxdude 3y agoI also don't really see the point. Insurance is for risks that will wipe you out. Insuring things for levels you (and therefore likely your friends) can afford is basically just a stochastic wealth transfer to whoever is better at estimating risks.

Could you imagine having a conversation along the lines of "hey can I use you as an insurance company, if I'll pay you $10 will you pay me $100 back if I'm Ill for a meeting?". Frankly I've never heard anything quite so ridiculous.
