At least property taxes do us all some good, whether you agree with how they’re ALL spent or not. You benefit from how some of it is spent, we all do.
Insurance goes up just to increase profits and keep the line going up. We’re being ripped off. They all use the phrase “free market” sarcastically. They’re definitely conspiring.
Of course they are, and increasingly with houses and cars, people are choosing to raw dog it and gamble.

That’s a funny way of saying “don’t have enough money for it even if it wasn’t garbage”
it’s almost like insurance should be socialized instead of subsidized.
Lol. Sure, like healthcare.
other countries do it all the time. have been for the last 25 years.
why is healthcare such a difficult problem to solve for in the US? because it’s being used as a political wedge to keep Americans focused on it instead of the blatant corruption of the bourgeoisie.
socialized systems work, full stop. the only reason why they fail is because of corruption and greed of the power that is supposed to protect and serve the people.
Agreed. I’d rather my money go to the public school system, public infrastructure, etc. Fuck insurance profits.
Fun fact, if you do itemized tax returns, you can make cash donations to your school, fire department or road authority, etc. and get a receipt and then deduct that from your taxes, it’s basically forcing your state to spend your taxes where you want it spent.
Note: it’s been a long ass time since I did itemized returns, your mileage/laws may vary.

A lot of it goes into premium payments.
Yep, blame climate change. The more natural disasters the more they need to pay out. Would be cool if we still had the smaller guys that only specialize in your local area.
Why does my policy need to go up in MI when there’s a hurricane in FL? Because national insurance pulls from the same pot.
The dude who owns the trailer park across the street from me almost had our entire street’s zoning changed because he was trying to make a gated community. Turns out he didn’t have permits to build everything he was and his whole plan fell apart. Then one of the prefab houses he had trucked in got hit by lightning and burned down. He also hasn’t sold a single structure he’s built.
