These two modes have drastically unequal visibility from the outside, which means if you had an equal amount of suffering between men and women in a society of traditional gender roles, this would look like a society in which women suffer more.

If hazards stop being rare, stop being predictable, and/or produce damages that aren’t easily reparable (or suggest that a building should not be rebuilt in that location), the existing market structures for both property insurance and property more broadly won’t work.
Home Insurance is a Really Big Problem
This is a broken assumption of the insurance market. It’s based on money, not security. The problem is that we don’t organize the problem correctly.

- Earn money in as many different ways as possible
- Build a portolio of income streams that act as a high probability “floor” of income

Diversification + stability are the key attributes
Freelancing is one of the best ways to make money in a strong economy, but it’s also one of the quickest things to disappear when companies are cutting costs.

This seems to imply that creating the impression of a strong economy is a self-fulfilling prophecy that creates more work.
