Well, no, actually, I don't. That's why I keep my business interests diversified,
and why I don't count on them to do anything truely vital.

Because the cost of failure is much higher than the examples you gave. The
closest analogy would be a hospital, and whenever someone I care about is in
one I watch them like a hawk. I don't *ever* want to be in one without someone
I know and trust to look after my interests.
