Obviously insurance companies, and i of course, would prefer if nobody anywhere ever had accidents or got sick etc

And i'd love it every lottery ticket, and horse i ever bet on was a winner

Feels like insurance companies just don't want to do their job.

They're getting paid to take someone's risk and then refusing to accept it.

Not sure if this is accurate. It seems they’re refusing to take the risk.

they only want sure thing bets these days.

Imagine I bet on a horse and then demanded the bookies pay out because it wasn't forecast to rain

Is the world becoming uninsurable?
