An alternatively acceptable title: “You Might Be Overpaying for Car Insurance if You’re Paying for Car Insurance”

I could only imagine all the childish articles that would be written about “MANUFACTURE X, THE OVERLORD CORPORATE ASSHOLES, HAVE $XBILLION ON HAND BUT CONTINUE TO UNDERPAY THEIR AMAZING WORKERS” etc if these companies actually did pocket tons of money year after year. Is there a world where auto unions don’t endlessly…

We have a culture and a market that punishes large corporations for cash-on-hand. Until we change the idea that long-term security and rainy day planning is “inefficient”, they will never operate by the same rules that people should operate by relative to personal finance. This crisis is exposing the worst of the…

I’m a year and a half sober, and this is very trying...at least I’m still working. While I’m working I get to provide IT services to a wife that is telecommuting and a pair of surly teenagers as well, that all seem to have issues that I’ve never caused/experienced in 30 years of playing with computers.

It’s the world’s only car enthusiast site that is somehow also anti-car.

And don’t start responding “we need to save as many peoples lives as possible”, because saving the economy saves lives indirectly.

Wow, look at Orlove, generally a good writer with good takes, suddenly becoming a civil engineer and saying that closing down all streets for several weeks will be undoubtedly good.

I’m sick of the SUV hate. They sit taller, your legs are at a more comfortable angle and get almost the same mileage as cars these days (crossovers, not full-size SUV’s) 

LOL, drive a GT350 or a Corvette or a Hellcat or a Raptor or whatever, then tell me Japanese cars are less boring.

This.

Don’t you know that tripling the federal budget for arts programs and airplane emissions standards are CRITICAL individual protections that we desperately need to help those affected by this pandemic.

Forgiving student loan debt is not.

Yeah I can get $10k back for student loan debt that was paid off in a timely manner while I didn’t buy other things I wanted because I foolishly thought it was more responsible to eliminate debt first before buying nice things? 

Get this, you make $76,000 and you have to pay back some of the $1,500 they are willing to loan you.

“we’ll surpass China in number of cases”

Neutral: I’m not normally pro-bailout, but right now I think we need to be supporting both people and their employers in every way we can possibly think of. This crisis isn’t the result of poor business practices, like the 2008 financial crisis was. It’s the result of a pandemic, and even companies that were healthy…

Hey Michael, just to clarify what everyone else is saying: you’re an asshole. A jealous, bitter, fucked up asshole.

This shit is absolutely tiring, all over the media recently.  And I would bet 99% of the time the author has donated absolutely 0% of their net worth.

We get it. Unions good, companies bad, rich people bad. Rich people who donate millions still bad. Rich people who donate every penny they have still bad because their ancestors obtained the money unfairly. 

Came to Jalopnik today to read about car stuff. Left dissapointed that Jalopnik finds a way to bitch about someone donating money/resources, when the donating entity doesn’t have to do it at all.
