Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 25, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

No. Regardless, you will still have to purchase title insurance for any financed transaction, which is according to the numbers, the biggest scam in the insurance industry.

To save you a click, title insurance has a loss ratio of around 5%, which corresponds to a roughly 20x markup. Contrast this with say fire insurance, which has a 65% loss ratio (ie the insurer expects to pay out 65 cents in claims for every dollar they collect in premiums), automotive of 75%, and homeowners of 82%.
