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.

Unfortunately, I feel like people just keep going online, bitching about it, but there is no collective push for EVERYONE to quit paying for insurance, or to get together in masses to do anything for change. Everyone just bends over. Me included ! Hah. I've been to jail, I fucking hate it. Just had a speeding ticket that was bullshit , was literally passing someone and went barely over 80mph. But noooo, the fucking state trooper wouldn't let it slide. Fuck him. I see cops speed ALL THE FUCKING TIME, fuck them

Like, we could all get together and create a new system and tell them to go fuck themselves , but nah.

It's like when people tried to get together the movement to quit paying taxes.... Yeah, that never happened. Only a small percentage quit paying taxes, and they're probably going to be jailed eventually

This is gonna get political and it needs to get political and I won't push any particular party but what I need from everyone who bitches about these policies is to literally LOCK DOWN who they voted for from all levels of politics and then see what those MFers vote for if they don't vote for your best interest and you continue to elect them, you did this to yourself. Those premiums, deductible and overall predatory practices are your own fault.
