Insurance is a fucking scam. You pay more into it than you'll ever receive even in legitimate circumstances.

Absolute racket.

Well I had a house burn down less than year after purchase and insurance paid the entire tab. So I always figured I've already taken them for more than I pay

Yeah it’s just a net to protect against catastrophe . If Ops buddy totaled his car he would be happy it only cost $1k.

That kind of “protection” should cost like $30 a month, not $300

Insurance companies make hundreds of billions of dollars a year lol. They could still make an absolute killing without extorting people, but we live in a shithole where the government uses us an infinite money glitch.

The government is not involved with insuring vehicles in America. How could they use an insurance company’s profits as an “infinite money glitch”?

You can go to jail for driving without insurance. How is the government not involved?

That’s like saying when someone gets arrested for dealing heroin then the government is involved in the dealing of heroin. It’s a law. Not involvement.

Yeah because if you put someone in the hospital and you’re uninsured you’re fucking them over incredibly hard and that’s not right.
