    is that a meme or did you accidentally butcher the term “ponzi scheme” which is something entirely different? not saying insurances aren’t often a scam. just a different kind.

      I modified it slightly to suit the situation.

      Why do you not think a Ponzai scheme fits?

          I guess I see enough parallels to call it “close enough”, but I guess that’s a matter of perspective.

            meanwhile the people taking your money and giving you nothing in return are laughing at the fact that people are spending time debating “what kind of scam” it is

            It’s not a matter of perspective. You used the wrong term. No big deal, we’ve all done it, and now you know.
