    Here’s a ‘fun’ math problem for the whole family:
    Step 1) Find out what a life is worth: What was the amount of money awarded to relatives in the latest court case that had a payout for a death?
    Step 2) Find out how much money was embezzled.
    Step 3) Calculate the damage done by those fuckers in terms of people killed.

      Last I read, online mind you, was that most insurance companies use 10 million in their equations.

      If I remember correctly that’s the value an average person will earn companies they work for during their entire life. So the older you are the less you’re worth.
