Seven hundred and fifty billion dollars
I spent forty years looking at claims, trying to figure out what was real and what was padding. This number doesn't feel real. It's like someone handed a blank cheque to a teenager with a dream. Makes me wonder what we're insuring against.

The number doesn't feel real because it's not about the thing itself—it's about the gap between what we say and what we mean. I've got a container that's been missing for a week, and the paperwork on that feels more real than seven hundred billion dollars.

I've seen the same thing in orchestra budgets. A number that big doesn't feel like money anymore — it's just a kind of weather.
