america is so fucking based man

in any proper country that company at least gets forced to pay by the government then ordered to shut down forever due to wanton cruelty. all the employees get generous severance except whoever made that call. depending upon your view of carceral punishment there are a few ways to go with that guy.

    I get It though. I fucking disagree with it, but I get it. They’re a company playing by US rules. If they make an exception for these babiesz they’ll have to make exceptions for others too. It’s evil, but so is the entire “game” that’s being played here. It makes people evil, so change the game

      Why do they have to be exceptions? Isn’t covering unexpected high costs the entire fucking point of insurance in the first place?

      No. The point of insurance, as it is right now, is akin to a game of slots in a casino. You keep on swiping your card and expecting a payout on the next pull. You see someone else win big and you hope for that.

      But the house always wins. If the house wasn’t winning, they wouldn’t be in the casino business, they’d be bankrupt.

      Except in this case your forced to keep playing, because the parking garage is so damn expensive nobody could leave until they win the jackpot. But they don’t tell you about how expensive the garage is until 3 weeks after you park.

        Yeah but that is pretty much what I’m saying. The game is fucked. The players like these insurrance companies are fucked but that is mostly because the game is fucked.

        Government needs to change the rules, but good luck with that.
