Protection money mostly. Until they need more “protection”. BLM and the rest will never leave them alone. It’s like giving the school bully $1. He won’t stop there.
USAA?
Are they like USSA (Union of Soviet Socialist America)?
USAA has been going downhill. In the 90’s I had a claim and they took care of it over the phone got the check in a few days. Had a claim in June, finally got them to respond in Aug.
Also my USAA member dad passed last year and they told my sister there was no money to be refunded. I said BS, he had a subscriber account. After several months on denials they finally coughed up $5K.
Crap... part of my insurance premiums are going to support this virtue signaling by the USAA Board and executives. I never thought I’d see this day.
shoot! they are a good insurance company and i am sorry to see this.
How much is Burn, Loot, Murder getting?
Hold on there USAA.
USAA is a member owned cooperative. It is not some piggybank in San Antonio.
Stop this madness.
Maybe both.
But, um, instead of thousands of companies spending 10s or hundreds of billions combined to do whatever in the black community...try this.
1. Get an education.
2. Get a good job.
3. Date a girl
4. Get engaged
5. Get married
6. THEN have kids
7. Then get a house
Number 4 is optional.
6 and 7 can be switched around.
Cuz without all those steps, they’re just adding to the many trillions that have been wasted already on this nonsense.
"The goal of our targeted contributions is to help close gaps across education"...
Yes, let's close that gap in education...A task that millions and millions of $$$ and 35 years of time here in Texas has proven to be a lost cause. No teacher can teach a child who refuses to learn and believe when I tell you that is the bottom line in public education. I escaped at 64 from the most radically liberal public school system in the country. I thank God I am no longer the depressed, unfulfilled person I once was.
The money would be better spent lowering their insureds’ premiums. It’s clear their policyholders aren’t their first priority.
That’s completely in line with how they behaved two years ago when I was employed there. They make a huge deal about being pro-America and pro-Military but, underneath, they’re just as politically correct as a college campus. Oh, and my contract job got outsourced to India.
You want the Trump plan then. More jobs = more equality.
I’ve been considering a switch to USAA, this ends that.
I’m so sick and tired of the rich and powerful, lecturing the rest of us about things that only the rich and powerful have the ability to fix.
They make this announcement on a Sunday
Ok
I’m really happy to see them wasting my money on this instead of useful things like getting an email system that could actually accept a dash camera file. But then they could actually view it instead of just calling me a liar for 3 months.
Gotta write them and tell them that sucks. Member since the 80s.
Hammer the board over this moronic maneuver. That is members money not a slush fund. There is a blog for members to participate in and voice opinions. When they shutdown advertising on Fox news we broke that cycle real quick and the board backtracked. Now not that I like USAA advertising because I am totally against spending a dime on it. If you were in the military you know about it. This latest maneuver proves the company has more non military members through legacy. Good ideas have bad consequences.
1. They sold off their investment management company to Victory Capital.
2. They sold their retirement accounts to Charles Schwab.
3. I learned that they aren’t underwriting conventional mortgages anymore. Only VA loans these days.
4. They weren’t competitive on my last car loan.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m no longer a member five years from now.
Unless and until the only education people in colored communities get is how to work the system and how to birth them babies for hard cash nothing will change.
This is just extortion money.
