They’re somehow WORSE than duckduckgo nowadays like how? You were the search leader, people used DDG for privacy reasons but they passed you??? Did you forget why you’re a company? It’s because you were the best fucking search engine ever and you decided to sell that title for ads or some shit. Incredible how Google fell off the fucking side of a mountain they themselves built!
And to your point, traditional insurance (home, auto, etc) pretty much targets a specific profit margin of about 3% or $0.03 for every dollar they take in. They tend to get eaten alive by competition when they get greedy, unlike a lot of other industries. But rates increase as costs increase ro maintain that 3% target…and costs have increased a LOT in recent years.
It’s a pretty misunderstood industry tbh, and not without its own issues for sure. But overall it has its purpose and is heavily regulated to ensure they’re playing responsibly. They earn their money on investing the money they take in, and basically take the bet that they can earn more in the market than the risk they take on for every policy sold.
Dems suck at messaging, GOP is traditionally great it (not sure right now, but historically they’re very good at getting a consistent message to their base of supporters)
Depends honestly but there’s a fee I’d be willing to pay to support if there was ongoing development and efforts for things user privacy and responsible moderation.
CVS tried to charge me last year because apparently my insurance is on Walgreen’s team, not CVS’s team because America is fucking stupid about healthcare.
Europe is over there debating on spending 2% GDP on their military currently as the entire rest of the world is preparing for major potential conflict escalation.
Probably people like my parents, who aren’t down with the far right but still don’t want to vote democrat. Makes no sense to me but there’s definitely a segment out there. If they know there is a less extreme GOP option they’ll vote that way 10 times out of 10.
Yes, agree with that. Health Insurance is just to ensure you have to have a job it feels like.
