The Glade 4.0

It seems those touting the abuse of the system by those offering insurance haven't been that far off.... Insurance group proposing to require 3 years worth of premiums to be pre-paid

I like what you did there.

Ha

Uh, isn't this whole thing getting blamed on accounting practices that pushed debt around on paper to make the books look good to begin with?

Hmm an monopolistic insurance system being run and/or subsidsized by the government is being unfair.

I don't get it.
