True. We like to say that Lemonade is the oldest new idea! I think that's what the sharing economy is all about, using technology to revive modes of social interaction that used to be commonplace.

Thats a great way of looking at the sharing economy. Once upon a time I asked my neighbor for a cup of sugar and they obliged, if even begrudgingly. Nowadays I pay a task rabbit $35 to get me a cup of sugar.

I'm not sure whether you are rich or joking.

A task rabbit? Is that what you call a subordinate at your office? Am I totally missing this?

> We like to say that Lemonade is the oldest new idea!

I think that the OP is drawing issue with the fact that the title described it as "the world's first P2P insurance."

What are you 'sharing' exactly? When did this word get redefined by corporations to mean charging a fee for a service?

Charging a fee for a service while sidestepping regulations and taxation. Also known as "disruption".

What is Lemonade's relationship with Goldman Sachs?
