A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I like your message, but insurance companies actually profit when everything is going great. Insurance companies would like nothing more than for everyone to be perfect, and never need to file a claim.
any for profit insurance only makes money by denying claims. they cant possibly cover all claims. its an inherent property of insurance and why its more like gambling than anything. the profit piece just means more money is siphoned away from the distributed responsibility.
with health insurance that claim is a human suffering
