What shocked me is that the development of the insurance industry allows companies to purchase life insurance for employees, but the beneficiaries are the company, not the family. This kind of behavior of profiting from the death of an employee seems so emotional. In English it is "it really hurts".
Citi, Merrill Lynch, AT&T, Walmart and many other big companies have this kind of behavior. Many employees don't know that they have quietly become a bargaining chip in a game, a game between insurance companies and employers. Families of deceased employees are frowning over huge medical bills, while employers have added a huge benefit to their accounting statements.
In order to increase the income of juvenile detention centers (privately owned), magistrates even increased the conviction rate and admitted many children who made minor mistakes. Does this have something to do with case law? If it is a country with a civil law system, this kind of thing should happen less often, right?
