Working certain high earning jobs means that you are required to live within a certain proximity to the workplace and have a car for mobility reasons.

A 200k job could easily meen 4500 into condo mortgage monthly, plus a presentable car lease at another 1k. No time to cook would be 100$ daily for food. Incidentals, clothing, cosmetic healthcare, 10-30k yearly.

120k debt from schooling at 10%, means a payment of 12k a year pays interest, 36k a year would pay off the debt in a reasonable time frame.

Yeah any arbitrary thing they decide makes them more money, they will include, which is a problem.

Csakany placed skin from humming frogs onto the body of a frog that does not seem to have any special relationship with tarantulas and is ordinarily eaten by them (the Lowland tropical bullfrog Leptodactylus andreae, a leptodactylid. Csakany used one of its synonyms: Adenomera andreai [sic]). After grabbing the skin-wearing Leptodactylus specimens, the spiders examined them, and released them unharmed. Again, this supports the hypothesis that the tarantulas recognise ‘partner’ frogs after receiving certain chemical signals.

The whole thing is predatory and abusive, and is enabled by regulatory capture.

So my premiums are higher in my 20000$ car because Lexus drivers get carjacked in my postal code.

It's not new to me. It's always been stupid and predatory.

A private business is arbitrarily charging customers for a required service. Living in one postal code or another has no bearing on a driver's actual skill. These people are predatory, pull your head out of your ass.

Is your record good? I moved years ago and my rate dropped by half.

Was my record better or something? No.

No? There's a minimum base price that you would be charged.

Remember, this is a profitability equation, not a risk assessment. Wearing a Pope hat doesn't make you the Pope.

Yeah you are a "flight risk" customer or you have other data points that make them think you are worth offering a lower premium.

Yeah this is one of these perverse incentives business have.

Magnum is already a latin word no need for the extra suffix.

Nah just people that understand that the insurance companies will do everything to optimise profits over everything, using any excuse they can.

Heuristics like this will squeeze pennies out of middle earners and be gentle to the more "competitive" customers, that can afford not driving or going to a competitor.

Making headlines removed

The biggest absolute price decrease in the price of 2 liters of coca-cola was in 2015, when the price dropped by $-1.79, or -100%.

Coke was free in 2015? Or is there a script filing is these paragraphs and it's counting missed data points as zero?

tHe MetHoD

I'll shake the piss hand over the shit hand any day.

A literal felony!!

I think there should not be a translation for that, because the sentiment would be "I will kill you"

Satiating the public isn't the goal. You can't have an all-in-one motivator.
