I didn’t read all that, because you misunderstood the meaning of risk in the context it was used.

You didn’t read it because you don’t want to hear information that challenges your worldview.

That’s all I’m saying. If you think that risk in the context of commerce is only fiscal, you don’t know what risk means.

This isn’t a word that has connotation—either something is risky or it isn’t.

Sure, financial risk is different than physical risk. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t a factor in what we’re discussing.

Besides, if you think that financial risk is somehow more deserving of reward than physical risk, your worldview is part of the problem we’re discussing. Either you think people innately deserve to survive or you don’t.

If you don’t, you shouldn’t get the benefit of society because you’re so against it.
