Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's partner, famously said "Show me the incentives, and I'll show you the outcome."
It's true here. Incentivize building on flood plains and other high-risk areas by subsidizing or socializing the true costs of doing so, and you get more of the high-risk behaviour, and more losses.
We need to stop the cycle.

An example.
Every spring, there are floods somewhere in North America. Maybe the Red River that flows up through North Dakota to Winnipeg and beyond. Maybe the winter snowpack is heavy and melts quickly in the Rockies, flooding out parts of B.C. Maybe torrential rains in Atlantic areas cause overland flooding throughout Quebec.

Most commonly, this is in the form of either stock options, which become valuable if the stock price of the company goes up, or in bonus plans explicitly tied to the share price increasing by certain amounts.

"#Open #software underpins most research today…The accuracy and reproducibility of scientific results is increasingly dependent on updating and maintaining software. However, the #incentive structure in #academia for software development — and especially maintenance — is insufficient. It is time that appropriate incentives are embraced to reflect their importance."

This was followed by the "loosening" of #fiscal #policy geared towards #taxcuts and schemes such as the #production #linked #incentive to address chronic #shortages, #inflation, and #under #capacity.
We now have a #demand #contraction as well with #ratehikes and #rural #distress. Mind you, the "growth" we see is purely #consumption driven by the #middleclass and the #rich.
