The insurance industry survives and thrives on two things: its ability to quantify risk and then its ability to profit on it. Whether talking about home insurance, car insurance, life insurance, or some other kind of insurance, the first step is to do the math of how likely it is that certain destruction will occur […]

It seems like everywhere you go, people chat about “Bidenflation” and “Joe Biden’s inflation.” I find it quite annoying, especially since it’s extremely […]

I was going to write about the report, but Tigercomm President Mike Casey’s own writing is so good that hacking it up and summarizing it didn’t seem sensible.
