My Automobile insurance went up 80% for no reason.

Apparently, since the insurance companies offer discounts to people who agree to have their driving habits recorded, all those people who didn’t agree get to subsidize the discounts for others, even if their driving record is perfect.

The mayor mentions that 250,000 illegals were dropped off in his city. He describes what they get for free.
We are paying the bill!

Mayor of El Cajon, Commiefornia Speaks Out Against Ludicrous Perks Illegals Get That Citizens Do Not

Considering a lot of price increases on many items, it seems to me that what is happening here may be that just because a company raises it’s prices, another thinks that is justification for them to do the same. Just as bad is when they reduce the quantity or quality (or both) of a product to compensate. Why not retain price, quantity, & quality if you can & advertise as such? Surely that should increase sales & firm up your customer base. I have as late experienced certain products that have reduced everything but price & expect to be competitive.They are going to lose out in the long run. Some products have deteriorated to the point that I no longer will purchase them. The price has stayed the same, but the product quality is lowered to the point of just not being acceptable. I have also found that to file a complaint about certain products requires jumping through so many hoops that it is just not worth it. This tells me that that certain companies are just not interested in hearing your complaints.

We had almost 50% increase fr State Farm. Shop around. Oh, State Farm is not taking new business in Texas. Safeco isn’t writing input area of tax…piney woods of east tchotchkes hit hard at beginning of June.
We’ll see what happens.

There’s been lots of articles lately about modern cars spying on owners. If you have On Star, or Car Play or even a car with a heads-up console your data is being tracked and sold. Many folks are upset about this. It’s another TOS. If you have an older car, check the data port under the driver’s side dash, it may still have a tracking device connected to it. (You can YouTube what it looks like). Newer cars they cannot be removed without messing up the electronics.
