    When restaurants were shut down, they should have still had them prepare food or at least package them, then the government could have subsidized the cost. But instead we threw all that food away because it wasn’t packaged to consumers. Same with cruise ships, they could’ve processed that food. You saw the lines of middle class waiting at food banks.

      How about nothing should have been shut down ?

      @Santa Claus  yeah, we didn’t even have testing for a month so you want to send people into the unknown. You first.

    Insurance might be a bad analogy. How well would insurance companies fare if everyone got into a car crash at the same time?

    The problem is that insurance is about money and money doesn’t have a shelf life, seldom becomes obsolete if talking major currencies and is quickly transferred around the world electronically. Many physical goods have one or more of these issues. Many chemicals can’t be stored for 10+ years. Many products become obsolete. How long do you think you can store microprocessors before they are no longer viable? And the physical materials need to be shipped at some point which takes time and may not be possible if transportation is one of the affected industries. I like the creative thinking, but I just don’t see the insurance analogy being viable for physical materials.

    The biggest problem is evidenced by all of the cloth mask wearing people in the audience. This shows the irrational fear that our politicians and public health officials generated which is the root cause of the panic buying and hoarding. If we had managed the pandemic using science and data rather than using propaganda and fear-mongering, we’d have had FAR less issues with supply chain and also we would have made covid endemic much more quickly and with less overall loss of life. So, our supply issues are really political failings at heart.

    Another crazy thought allow ships to dock rather than anchoring outside of ports for weeks if not months because…science. or even crazier, don’t mandate an allready struggling industry.

      You should go on long term investment. I’m a long term investor, I started at the beginning of the last year with $10,000 presently I’m having $103,700 on my dashboard, it takes patience.

    If you consider the supply chain, the costs go up steeply. Large companies may be able to lay out multiple supply chains to share the risk, smaller companies simply don’t have that ability.

Binance founder, Changpeng Zhao, pled guilty to failing to maintain an anti-money-laundering program. He’s now been sentenced to four months in prison and agreed to pay a $50 million fine. Between Binance’s money laundering and FTX’s fraud scandal, can crypto be trusted now that these bad actors are in jail? Some folks view crypto as a silly, get-rich-quick gambit. Others view blockchains as the future of the internet and computing itself. But we’re learning where there’s potential to change the world, there is also a lot of room for scammers.
