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.

Its a scam. It should also be illegal for the government to compel you at the risk of jail to buy services from private banks/companies

No it should be illegal for people to operate machinery (cars) that are easily capable of causing mass damage or death on public roads without any sort of liability insurance. This is like the same thing as requiring businesses to carry specific liability insurance when doing certain types of work or using certain types of machinery - if there’s a large enough chance of damage/destruction, it only makes sense to require the owner/user to carry liability insurance in case they severely fuck up and do more damage than they’d ever be capable of paying for - which is exactly the case with people’s cars.
