Coworker, about my suggestion that lawns will be replaced by fire breaks: "What makes you think people will ever do things in their best interest?"

Me: "Insurance companies."

Responses:

Are insurance companies paying out life insurance if someone unvaxed dies from COVID? -- nm - Flavorize Aug 17, 11:48 6
- They generally can't create exclusions to existing policies that weren't there to begin with. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 11:51
- I assume so. The FDA experimental status probably means they wouldn't be able to mandate it for coverage to apply. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 11:50 4
  - Ah, that's why, so once it gets FDA approval we can see rates for unvaxxed to triple, or get it or get canceled -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:03 3
    - I'm not sure they take any preventative health care into account, do they? -- nm - mara Aug 17, 12:10 2
      - smoking? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:46 1
        
        That's the closest, but more a lifestyle (like they take some dangerous hobbies into account, too). -- nm - mara Aug 17, 12:53
