The threat isn't about baseball. The threat is how they were using insurance money, that everyone is assured is stable and protected, as their own bank account.

I get that, and now the part where it represents a real threat to EVERY American is…

It sounds like you don't get it, actually. What comes after giant life insurance companies default and millions of Americans are out their "guaranteed" policy?

Short-sightedness is killing us all.

[u/wrenwood2018 → u/Inspiration_Bear]

Because most people have life insurance and they put that money at risk.

[u/Inspiration_Bear → u/wrenwood2018]

Yes I understand that. I’m not arguing this isn’t a big deal. I’m arguing that one insurance group being impacted does not destroy the entire industry for all Americans. It’s an unnecessarily exaggerated headline (for a very real problem). But whatever, I am sick of arguing about this. Enjoy your stupid ass headline.

[u/wrenwood2018 → u/Inspiration_Bear]

I mean the company that did this is a huge one. It is also a concern about the industry as a whole doing this.

[u/Inspiration_Bear → u/wrenwood2018]

Ok ok. It is going to harm every American. Especially the babies. And the uninsured.

[u/not_bilbo → u/Inspiration_Bear]

This is such a weird hill to die on. Nobody’s going to remember this headline’s exact wording in a week lol.
