      Even there, it’s the federal government. They make the money, and basically pay for things by typing in whatever number they need. Nobody in Washington will even track it except maybe for photo ops.

        Again, it’s not about making the money, it’s about taking the money. And to state the obvious, money does not equal human life here. It is a punishment and spare me the “if your rich that’s just the cost of doing business” drone.

      No it will fucking not. What it will do is put a dollar value on human lives so that future actuaries and BigBalls types can figure out just how much death is economical.

      Everyone knee jerks to lawsuits following a tragedy in the US.
