why someone wrote that is crazy

it is a humanitarian disaster in its purest form

not a business disaster..

however.. the governments had over an hour to warn their coasts..

so perhaps it is a political disaster..

certainly the reported shooting of several agency heads would be no suprise at all

ho ho

Reinsurers provide backup for primary insurance companies, enabling the system to spread risk so it can cover losses from major disasters

Reinsurers concentrate risk, they do not spread it. They are the opposite of what insurance is about. One day they are going to be hit bad and we will all learn the lesson that needs to be learned imho.
