  • I’ve never been in a single accident and drive a basic compact sedan I bought new off the lot 10 years ago. I could buy it used today, with current mileage for about the same price I paid new. I’ve paid about half the initial purchase price in insurance premiums.

    Being a good driver sucks, but it’s kind of like healthcare where…wait a minute I’m healthy and getting fucked there too. As I age I’m going to street race and try to gain as much weight as I can.




  • How are they tackling the drivers of the downfall of society; the evaporating social safety net, and aggressively underpaying the employed thanks to oligarchs? Foreign wealth buying up real estate? Polluters poisoning the water, the air?

    Will these super expensive new measures go after and hold accountable at all, the wealthy?

    No? I’m shocked.

    Remember, crime is only for the poor.




  • Right, and part of the problem is these hawks (the kind who own 2400 pubs) would then fly in with that much more VC$ and scoop up 5x that amount if something like this passed(which is of course why they’re the ones suggesting it). I’m all for the idea, but big companies don’t get little guy breaks for the 1-2 pub proprietor, they can play with the adults and take the loss with that kind of operation and revenue. If their business model is literally “we can’t turn a profit–we’ll make it up in volume” they have issues that shouldn’t necessitate corporate welfare.
