    There used to be a thing called ‘mutual insurance’ as in ‘Mutual of Omaha’. (They did a nature show called Wild Kingdom back in the before-time)

    It’s basically an insurance run like a co-op, not as an arm of some other money-laundering corporate giant.

    Some mutual insurances would balance their books periodically and refund a portion of premiums if the claims paid was less than what premiums brought in.

    I still remember the jingle.

    “Mutual of Omaha …. is people …. you can count on when the going is rough!!”
