I don't believe the vast majority - if any - home insurance is 'state mandated' - it is almost always mandated by the banks that are lending you the money to buy - i.e. the folks who actually own your house until they get pai

Yep, $20/hr plus benefits means for a 168 hour per week worker, you (as an business owner) need to possibly pay as much as $285K per year to cover a single worker 24 hours per day - even if a robot cost a $1,000,000 it would pay for it
