Is this AI upscaled or am I going nuts?
it is
sir I cannot believe thye let you out.
every year I get a letter from my health
scaminsurance company that essentially says “due to the law (that we’re going to eventually pay the right politician to get rid of) we’re informing you that our rates will increase by 30% next year.”Every year 30% more.
I was with Erie insurance company for 15+ years when they pulled this, except it was closer to a 100% increase. No tickets or accidents but suddenly much higher rate. Switched to Progressive and was back to my old price.
Just did much the same with Farmers (was with them for 10 years). Last accident was around 2018, not at fault. Went from a '14 Prius to '24 Ioniq 5, and my premium went from ~$1300 to ~$2500, the excuse being “EVs are more expensive to repair”. Which I get, the batteries are pretty expensive. But that’s an insane increase. I switched to Progressive for both auto and home, and they got my premiums down to ~$1100 and ~$1600 respectively (home was just shy of $2k). We’ll see if the decision was worthwhile.
Not just car insurance. My house insurance went up 25-30%, and the agent said there’s not much point in switching because companies “don’t want to take on houses older more than 40yo”
While my general Province hasn’t been great for various disasters, my city and neighborhood are on the safer end. The house itself doesn’t have any of the nasty stuff like asbestos, aluminum wiring, failure-prone plumbing, etc. The furnace was replaced when I moved in, AC and after tank are new within 5 years, and the roof was just done.
It’s just a fuck you tax at this point
That shit keeps happening to me. It’s a new scam they’re running. I know because I keep changing companies due to it. Each time they pretend that’s just how much insurance costs now, or try to blame it on me moving (each time to a lower crime area). Then I find another company that’s offering me slightly more than I paid last term- the kind of increase you (unfortunately) expect from these vultures. But now those old standard increases have become not enough. Seriously had these sons of bitches try to raise my insurance rates 50-200% multiple times in a row, multiple companies doing the same shit. This ought to be investigated by a government agency and multibillion dollar fines issued. Instead, it’s just “how it is” now in America.
Time to switch and save lol. I change phone plans and car insurance about once every three years at least because no matter what they find a way to run up the price on you over time, so there will always be much much better offers out there
I’ve been on $30 per month T-Mobile with unlimited data for almost 20 years now.
Gonna ride this one to eternity.
