I agree in that claims should not be a part of an insurance company due to the obvious conflict of interest. Without insurance though many families would be devastated into poverty or homelessness without it. It sucks but protects people from catastrophic loss. If it were run properly it would be cheaper but alas…greed.

That’s liability insurance and that is a requirement in order to share the road with others. The post is about their own insurance “I have to wait to get hit???” Which is the much more expensive insurance.
You are taking about liability insurance. The post is about the insured’s car.
You are not required to have it. If you own the car you do not have to have full coverage.
The point of insurance is to protect your standard of living. If you can absorb the loss of something then you don’t need insurance for it(game controller for example). Most people can not absorb the sudden loss of a car(or house). So a company takes on the risk for you for a fee. That’s the general idea anyway.

I appreciate the confidence in this tiny pice of tape.

Didn’t then and don’t most Americans now see the Vietnam war as wrong and hated it from the beginning? Many calling returning soldiers baby killers. I’ve always heard/thought that but it could just be anecdotal to my experience.

I think it would cost trillions of dollars to rebuild all houses to be smaller. Imagine the carbon footprint of that endeavor.
Are these going to be just…kettles for the U.K.?
Sounds like something someone who hasn’t had a life changing water boiling event in their life would say.
Alight fine that’s State Socialism… which, apparently, is the only type of Socialism that is talked about or allowed to exist here.
There has never been a transition from a large mature capitalist republic to a socialist republic society(ussr certainty didn’t). No one can predict how it will happen, certainly not you and certainly not me. The ussr is no model at all for the future of the United states.
That is “state socialism” as pushed by cold war propaganda (marxism-leninism interpretation). Socialism certainly doesn’t require a dictatorship.








The entire system is built to support us men. It’s like an ocean. Women’s rights are a tiny artificial sea wall constantly needing work to keep up with the relentless ocean of male dominance.
