      What a shit take, “oh you can’t afford 75000 dollars, so that means you should instead also spend thousands of dollars every year for the rest of your life, and hey you are legally required to do so!”

      I’d have fewer complains if driving weren’t a necessity to survive in this country, public transportation is few and far between if it even exists locally, and good luck getting any decent job without a car, or I guess you get minimum wage at the local gas station barely even being able to pay for rent. Oh, want to move? Guess what you’d need for that!

      It’s a rigged system, and I despise seeing someone try to justify any part of it because “oh you could just pay $75000” ??? Fucking ridiculous.

          My suggestion is a government based insurance system that everyone puts a proportional amount into based on their wages, almost like taxes one might say, that goes towards a publicly available fund for people that have traumatic accidents/injuries.
