    In insurance you expect to come out behind in the average case, unless you're an insurance company.

    Of course it's inefficient, if it wasn't inefficient it wouldn't need subsidies. Better than nationalizing it or outsourcing our security to foreign actors.

    The service is running off their servers, so they get the final say in whether to present content to you at all. Don't cry foul when your account is terminated.

    I bought it outright. Salvage, so it's possible that the previous owners died in bringing it to market.
