Bonus: Subsidized grain production means sugar and starch is what they get us to eat too much of. Not broccoli.

@mem_somerville_kbin @hedge My insurance company, Amica, is a mutual company; I get a substantial rebate every year.

Liberty Mutual is also a mutual company, but I hear they never issue any rebates, that management thinks it is more fun to spend any extra money on themselves.

Cooperates and mutuals are not a magic alternative to rapacious capitalism.
