Flood insurance largely is only government run, it’s far too costly for private companies. The flood insurance program started paying for people to not rebuild

But then there’s a paradox of only people who are independently wealthy can then afford to be politicians with the security and housing demands they face. If we want more working class people to run for office, they need some help. How about we just ban politicians and their families from owning individual stocks?
Counter point… Progressive reps like AOC and Max Frost are not wealthy and maybe could benefit from better security

Here’s an FDA report on a Romain lettuce E. coli outbreak that resulted in 5 deaths. There’s a couple of ways E. coli can get from cow intestines to lettuce: cow manure gets into irrigation canals/streams, and a downstream farm uses that to water their crops; manure used for fertilizer is not properly treated; cows get into farm fields that they shouldn’t be in. Lettuce is particularly susceptible because it is often eaten raw.
The cows kill count would go up even more if you count air/water pollution and food borne illnesses caused by their manure on produce
