I wouldn’t buy her saying water is wet. She’s the prime example of my theory of two kinds of people. One tells you it’s raining and you just think “oh, it’s raining”. Then there’s the other type who tells you the same thing and you ask yourself why they would want it to be raining.

@George-K said in Bidenomics:
My insurance went up about 25% from 2022 to 2023.
On the positive side, some people who work for insurance companies are doing well!
Or so I've heard. Allegedly.

Did it go down in 2020 when nobody was driving?
Automobile insurance is one of the weirdest industries. Lucas drives ~3K miles per year in a 2010 Mazda in excellent shape and under 70K miles to this point.
I drive over 25K miles per year and Karla drives over 35K miles per year. Luke’s insurance is more expensive than mine, and only slightly less than Karla’s though her car is valued 5x his…

Age and gender might have something to do with it.
Absolutely, but isn’t it weird that Karla and I have never even been asked about mileage? We each drive 2-3 times the distance most adults do, you would think that would impact our insurance rates…
