because people won't stand up and say 'i can't do it for that'.
and becuase people aren't smart enough to look into the particulars and call them on their b*llsh*t. instead they give the contract to the cheapest bidder.
and at some point during the rebuild the work stops and we are told 'unexpected' something has arisen and the government needs to hand over this or that or the next non-trivial sum for the work to resume.i've been trying to understand how natural disaster (ahem ahem) is good for insurance companies who have to pay out.
apparently it isn't about the paying out. they cry broke! and the government is forced(?) to give them bail outs... handing over... handing over...
money...
so the insurance companies can manage / distribute things with respect to the rebuild. it's the rebuild where things are at.
huh.
