      MUCH like a casino.
      There are subtle yet important differences, which are the reason why casinos are largely illegal, while insurance is often required.

        Tell me the difference:

        • The house always wins.
        • If the house doesn’t win it makes it harder for you to win.
        • The house can expel you whenever it likes.
        • The house can bar you the entrance for anything the house sees fit.

          One provides a useful function that more often than not protects people when things go to shit.

          The other tries to make people into addicts and turn their lives to shit.
