18 here but at that age kids gotta grow up. Helping them financially when they get into a pickle is one thing but not teaching them what stuff costs sets them up for a world of hurt.

That’s crazy, it means you’re going to write off the entire worth of the vehicle in 2 years time. The hell do you live that you’re paying $500 a month for 2 vehicles? Or do you have a shit driving record?
16 year olds shouldn’t be driving anyways, so I’m not surprised your premiums went up. Also…24 and you’re still paying for his insurance???
O they absolutely collude on pricing, but $250 a month for full coverage means you’re probably driving a nearly brand new car…just why. Why does everyone buy the latest and greatest constantly and then cry about how much shit costs.
Lol you’re good, we do need to spend a lot more on our education system though.
Car…car insurance, it’s why I called out we needing single payer healthcare. This video was a dude bitching about car insurance.
Yea usually you gotta do it every few years.
Highschool needs to teach financial literacy. $200 a month for insurance is insane. I pay that for 3 vehicles on full coverage (older trucks and suv, but damn).
Not saying this guy is wrong to be pissed but I see a lot of people who just don’t understand how to shop around for shit and just eat the cost.
I agree with him though, we need single payer and mass transit.
Edit: also the further I get into this. The more I think we need to single payer so he can go to therapy, cause he’s depressed as hell.

55·7 days agoUhh what? No one is doing this in the USA. The Republican party is trying to with their fascist bullshit agenda, but we’re not there and are fighting it and the resistance is growing daily.
True, but most people who mess with POE aren’t in the habit of just randomly plugging shit into switches, and those who aren’t don’t touch it anyways cause…scary.
POE is fine… it’s been fine for a long time.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Plan for Windows 10 EOL and discounted old laptops
5·25 days agoMost people straight up will ignore them for months. Eventually forced to install and reboot. No one is jumping ship to 11 if their system doesn’t handle it. They won’t even know the shit no longer updates.

13·25 days agoThis is the correct answer. The number of people who skip updates is way way higher than most here think. The only ones who stick to it, are nerds and commercial entities…and a lot of those swapped to 11 already.

2·29 days agoThat corn is grown so they have money for when it’s needed.
That corn also goes to feed beef cattle which we eat.

They’ve been doing this since the great depression in the usa because no one wants another great depression. Other countries do it as well to keep the food supply stable and affordable.
I don’t know why you’re arguing this.
No one says it’s efficient. You don’t do efficiency on your food for your citizens. You make sure they can eat.

111·1 month agoThis is america where we pay our farmers to grow stuff that they can’t sell. And we think we like it this way
We pay them to do that so we have a surplus so we all don’t starve… every country does this so if there is a bad year, you don’t have farmers stopping production because they can’t survive and have to sell everything.
No clue why they vote red though, considering they get a ton of subsidizes.

Edit: this wasn’t a I support Israel post. This was a “does anyone else feel like isreal is basically saying back us or we’re going to start assassinations”

01·2 years agoWhy? Less people would have probably died. Automatics are stupid hard to shoot accurately. The military uses them for suppression even. They’re not designed to be accurate just to keep the enemy down.


The car is insured, not the driver. Your comment made it sound like you still had him on your policy for his car.
In the USA, and while this is correct that they can drive, they shouldn’t be. Just as when someone hits 65 they should be required to take yearly driver courses. A vehicle is not a right it’s a privilege. We should have mass transit and the same level of driving requirements the EU has to get a license. Way to make people absolutely fucking suck at driving, and unfortunately the elderly and teens make up the majority of crashes.
No where did I question your parenting. I made a comment about an over all belief that kids need more responsibility these days. Calm down padre.
