Question for the Day
After having gotten the tractor/snowthrower stuck in a plow drift at the end of the driveway this morning, I feel obliged to ask: Why must the insurance industry be so heavily concentrated in the snow belt?
You’d think that with all the premiums we collect, we could afford to move the insurance capital of the country someplace warmer.
I think the next time there’s a regional actuarial meeting, I will have to formally propose that we re-headquarters our companies in Las Vegas, a much less frigid locale where other local industries are well-suited to the nature of our profession.

I have to agree! I live in Bloomington, IL, home to the corporate headquarters for State Farm. As an actuarial student, I’ve been wondering if I’ll ever be able to leave these horrible winters behind.
