> It's more surprising that he was so open about the naked corruption/nepotism in the origin story. Apparently there's a sector of society for whom that is also normal and acceptable. I distinctly remember this from the interview as well! He simply drops it in there that he married into the family, that it’s a family run company, that the family owns some significant portion of it… “family family family”… it was an odd interview. > but are you also self-insuring against a lawsuit for damage to the other guy's car? I guess their insurance company is going to come after me/my insurance company to pay up… yeah without insurance I’d simply hope I could reason things out with whoever. I’ve actually had to do that in the past. After a minor collision I asked the other driver whether we could settle things directly, and how much he’d feel was fair for me to pay to fix damage to his motorcycle. He named a figure and we drove to an ATM and I paid him that, we still exchanged info in case anything else came up but nothing did. Yes it was scary, but I think it was more efficient and less hassle in the end. This occurred in Los Angeles.
