I simply do not understand this line of thought and obfuscation. It is so incredibly ignorant — insurance usually doesn’t cover civil unrest, and long term costs will be passed on to consumers. Regardless of that ignorance, it is a morally bankrupt position.

There’s a pair of 32” waist pants that have been sitting in my dresser for the better part of 3 years. I’ve almost taken them to Goodwill 3-4 times, resigned that they’d never fit again. Today, after losing nearly 35 pounds since January I am wearing them, and I’m a little proud.
