Well because if you crash right after making the insurance there won’t be enough in your “savings”.
Because debates in the US are often set up to be a fight with a winner and loser. Real debates are about learning and instigating truth. Those debates are effective.

They get taken to temporary jails which have horrible conditions and they they have legal right to appear in court. But because these courts take a long time and the jail is inhumane, many people “choose” to accept the demand of leaving the country.

Joseph Stiglitz have made a convincing argument that inequality can entirely be explained by rents. That without rents (coming from monopoly power, companies influencing politics, private ownership of land) we will not see rising inequality. Which suggests that we can prevent excessive inequality with anti trust laws, land value taxes, and heavier protections against political regulatory capture.

The only reason housing, an otherwise depreciating asset, can become an investment is through land scarcity (to be solved with land value taxes) and through housing scarcity (created with policy such as height restrictions, “green” belts, and difficult building permit processes)
