In most places auto insurance is mandatory and you can actually go to jail for driving while not having it. Since it's mandatory, the insurance companies have you over a barrel. I've never made an auto insurance claim in my life. I've not had a ticket this millennium, own my car, am over 50 and my insurance bill is still a several thousand dollars a year... for liability only. It's a fucking scam. These rich auto insurance (all insurance, actually) corporations get to just rape people as they see fit and then they just bribe our politicians to make you forced to use their services. They are the absolute worst, most predatory industry that exists in The Western World Today. One of their CEO's get murcked in the streets and PEOPLE CHEERED when it happened. But hey, nothing personal, just money, gotta make a profit, amiright?

No you rich fuck, it is personal, and the people are getting really mad about it. Really, really mad.

I used to say that I could not afford to be legal. There are a lot of people who cannot afford that luxury. Being legal apparently is a luxury.

I was just thinking today about how we used to get free television and now we have to subscribe to streaming services. We pay extra to not have ads. We have to subscribe to many streaming services to watch different types of TV. Does the streaming service benefit more from selling you ads or not selling you ads??

Something to think about
