I was pointed towards these ads by a Thai insurance company. These ads reminded me once again that those who take part in the structures of capitalism are not assholes. Far from it.
I'm all for for the type of immediate solidarity that does without insurance, -although sometimes you'll need more than peer to peer, I'm thinking medical research for example, which simply must be done on a large scale. Or maybe for ethical mutualist insurance companies (of the type mentioned by Shane Claiborne). Anyway, this is what mainstream motivations look like:
And no doubt this is the type of insurance company that invests in some dodgy funds which maximise productivity by exploiting some folks or making others redundant. Talk about capitalising on the consummers' fears.
