Employers paying shitty wages are punishing workers, this is the source of your complaint. If workers got a fair wage to begin with, you wouldn't give a shit about tipping. But employers pay a shit wage and have successfully got people like you to blame and shame customers instead of them. If you think this will resolve by arguing with the customers that aren't subsiding the wages, well, good luck with that.

They did block the funding cuts in the longest shutdown the country has seen (so far). I was disappointed in the cuts but Dems were running out of options, Republicans were talking about getting rid of the filibuster, which they will do if Dems block them for too long. Ending the shutdown allowed for the vote on the Epstein files. It also hung the consequences of the cuts on the current administration while also making a statement that the Dems were against it. If they had held out, it's likely they would lose even more power. Let's face it, in the current political climate the Dems have a very shitty hand. Direct the hate where it belongs: Republicans.

I am pretty amazed at the hate and negativity towards Dems. They condemned the murder that happened and nothing but hate in this thread. Dems do not have a majority in any branch of government, what exactly can they do? They look weak because they actually do not have any power. Instead of directing the hate towards people calling victims domestic terrorists the hate is directed towards the only allies we have government.

Only a few years? What's the math on that? I looked into it and the minimum was 20k. When I looked at it I think it would take around 40 years to break even on premiums. It's not about the replacement cost of the vehicle but about damages that you could be liable for. If you're liable for a hospital bill, that minimum won't go far.

It probably varies based on states but in CA you can put a deposit in with the DMV in lieu of getting insurance. The deposit would be used for any damages you are liable for. I don't remember the amount but it made insurance seem like a better deal to me personally since the coverages went way beyond the deposit amount.

Check the laws in your state. I doubt it says anything like "stay in the middle lane if you're going to be in the highway for a while" or "middle is for general travel", which means you're probably the driver camping in the middle lane when you should be moving over.
