Would you like to know another reason why you Auto Insurance is so Damn Expensive?
Quote:Missouri woman says she caught STD in car. Auto insurance to pay out $5.2 million
Yes, I guess that not due to any action of her own, this lady,,,,,,,, caught a Sexual type Disease.
Quote:KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Court of Appeals has affirmed that an insurance company must pay a $5.2 million settlement granted to a Jackson County woman who claimed she unwittingly caught a sexually transmitted disease from her former romantic partner in his car.
In an opinion issued Tuesday, a three-judge panel found that the judgment entered against GEICO General Insurance Company through earlier arbitration proceedings was valid. The insurance companies sought to undo the action, claiming errors were made in Jackson County Circuit Court and the settlement agreement was not done in line with Missouri law.
According to court papers, the woman, identified in court records only as M.O., notified GEICO in February 2021 of her intention to seek monetary damages, alleging she contracted HPV, the human papillomavirus, from an insured member in his automobile. She contended the man caused her to be infected with the STD despite being aware of his condition and the risks of unprotected sex.
Quote:In May 2021, the arbitrator found that the man and woman had sex inside his vehicle that “directly caused, or directly contributed to cause” the HPV infection. The man was found liable for not disclosing his infection status and the woman was awarded $5.2 million for damages and injuries to be paid by GEICO.
The insurance company filed motions seeking a new hearing of the evidence and for the award to be tossed out, saying the judgment violated the company’s rights to due process and the arbitration agreement was unenforceable.
The company appealed after those requests were denied.
The three-judge panel tasked with reviewing the case found that the lower court did not make a mistake by denying the company’s motions, saying GEICO did not have a right to “relitigate those issues” once damages had been determined and a judgment was entered.
Judge Tom Chapman concurred in a separate opinion, though, saying he believes GEICO was offered “no meaningful opportunity to participate” in the lawsuit and existing law “relegat(es) the insurer to the status of a bystander.”

So, just think of this case as you see your car insurance increases even though you have a Perfect Driving Record.

Following this train of thought, every person that has ever had sex anywhere that resulted in an unwanted injury or pregnancy, can now sue all that owned the area where it occurred.
So now homeowner's insurances can be sued. They can sue the government if it occurred on government property. They can sue the hotels, the airlines, the airports, the stadiums, and anywhere else the deed occurred.
I hope the innocent automobile sues all of them for being named as a cause, when all it was doing was sitting there. It never asked any of them to enter its personal space.

I completely agree with you.
We live in a Society that teaches people No One has to take Responsibility for their own Actions of Poor Judgment.
It is always someone else's Fault.

Holy cow, that is so messed up! Unbelievable that this was allowed to happen. Idiots ruin it for everyone else that isn’t entitled, and the idiots get away with stupid shit like this. I can’t believe this was even able to get through the courts without being thrown out. Disgusting.

I think the insurance companies are taking a big hit because of the massive amounts of loss caused by an increase in natural disasters.
As long as they were collecting with limited numbers of payouts, it was gravy train time. Now they are having to make payouts in unexpected large numbers, they have to manufacturer excuses for why they are making insane increases in the costs.
They make it mandatory and all the risks falls on our backs.
Feeling free yet?

I pay less than $40/mo on a truck and a daily driver. I contrast that to what I was paying when I lived in New Jersey ($300/mo) back in the '80s.
Of course that $500/year I'm paying these days is nothing more than an extortion fee.
The day I am anointed with oil, is the day insurance becomes illegal.

Here is another, WTF Judgement Call.
Quote:Gas Prices So High, Police Told To “Respond” To 911 Calls By Phone
That is right friends, if shots are not fired or some form of Documentation of a Crime is Not Needed, then just answer some question over your phone.
Why, because gas prices are to high and your life doesn't Matter. yes, yes, Yes, it is All Russia's Fault and those Greedy Business Men.
The Democrats Care About YOU!
Quote:Currently, gas prices throughout the country are reaching record highs.
For months, the establishment left has been blaming soaring prices on “greedy capitalism” and for months, their constituency has been lapping it up.
In reality, gas prices are high because of federal government intervention in the market, sanctions which have skewed competition, and runaway inflation thanks to irresponsible monetary policy by the fed which has printed trillions over the last two years.
Don't forget Biden said it was also Putin's Fault.
Quote:In one such instance, police departments in several Michigan counties have begun to implement a rather laughable policy in regards to policing. Several police departments in the state have informed officers to handle “whatever calls are acceptable” — by phone. Seriously.
As the Detroit Free Press reports, the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office announced this week that it is “feeling the pain at the pump,” and has “exhausted what funds were budgeted” for gasoline with “several months to go before the budget reset.”
Michigan’s Isabella County Sheriff Michael Main told the outlet that he has instructed his deputies to manage whatever calls they can over the phone. These include “non-in-progress calls, non-life-threatening calls, and calls that do not require evidence collection or documentation.”
Isn't Detroit a Democrat Controlled City?
Quote:The next time you dial 911 and you’re told to press one to be transferred to a police officer who will not come to your house, remember the US government continues to print more money and send tens of billions of your tax dollars to Ukraine to fund a proxy war with Russia.

We know this is just another of their not so cleaver ways to force us towards green energy and electric cars.
But it is not cheaper, and it is not practical. How many people have 30 minutes to sit around waiting for their car to charge?
I drive a hybrid. I pay a lot more to fill up, but I don't have to fill up nearly as often. My hybrid is due to the generosity of my Brother, after the car I had driven for years, given to me by another Brother, finally was no longer road reliable. I was a bit surprised when my Brother gifted me the hybrid. I was very grateful and I refuse to complain about anything about this car.
Just for the record. I have five brothers and four sisters. Growing up in the country with nothing, made us productive overachievers. It also made us loving, caring, and generous.

That Idiot Biden Blames the Oil Companies for the High Prices and say they are Not Drilling.
Quote:During a speech in Los Angeles Friday, President Joe Biden blamed record gas prices on the oil industry and said that U.S. oil companies like Exxon Mobil Corp were raking in massive profits this past year.
Biden also accused the largest U.S. oil company of spending their profits on stock purchases, rather than using it to drill and produce more oil.
"Why aren't they drilling? Because they make more money not producing more oil," the president said. "Exxon, start investing and start paying your taxes."
Exxon responded to Biden’s comments saying the company has spent tens of billions in taxes and continues to expand its operations.
"We have been in regular contact with the administration, informing them of our planned investments to increase production and expand refining capacity in the United States," spokesman Casey Norton said, Reuters reported.
Quote:"Oil companies, instead of everybody, says, 'Well, Biden won't let them drill.' They have 9,000 drilling sites that they already own that are there. They're not doing it," Biden said to the host. "You know why? Because they make more money not drilling and buying back their own stock."
While pushing the blame for oil, the president took credit for the "fastest-growing economy in the world."
Source
Whose fault is it?
It is this administrations Fault.
First thing Biden did in office was shut down Keystone pipeline. It is literally Democratic Party policy to reduce oil and gas infrastructure and increase the cost of energy so alternatives become more competitive.
But all Alternative Source FAIL!
The Biden administration is pushing for electric cars, solar panels, and windmills. Not because they are proven to be a better source of energy, but because they all have large amounts of personal money invested in green energy.
Obama/Biden/Clinton and their liberal cronies are corrupt to the core and hate capitalism. They destroyed our economy with the lockdowns, inflation ,and immigration amnesty. The Affordable Care Act has been nothing short of a disaster. My gas is up to $5.80 a gallon, grocery bill up big.
Everyone in the Biden administration is a leftover from the Obama administration and this is what the counted on Clinton to push forward during her Presidency. Follow the money!
You want to know the TRUTH? This is Obama's Third Term just as Corrupt and Disastrous to America as his other two teams!
Biden is the king of disinformation. Why drill when you can’t get pipeline permits to produce your well, or permits for water to cement and frac the well, or new compressor stations to transport the gas? Biden has hit the oil and gas industry with over 10,000 new regulations to shut it down. Then Biden wants Russia and China to provide the mining and refining of rare earths and lithium to control American energy.
Exxon better make money while it can. It has thousands of wells to plug and abandon, and thousands of miles of pipelines to remove in America.

Another WTF moment for YOU Democrats and your Leaders.
Especially Californians.
Quote:Nancy Pelosi Appears On RuPaul's Drag Race: "Drag Is What America Is All About"
Quote:Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi made an appearance the television show 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' a weekly program on VH1 that features drag queens.
"It's my honor to be here," Pelosi said after being introduced by host RuPaul Andre Charles. "Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about."
"With the midterm elections coming up, it is very important for people to make their voices and their vote heard," Pelosi told the drag queens.
One drag queen praised Pelosi for her "sarcastic shady clap" using expletives.

More than anything else, more than affordable food, housing, energy, gas or diesel, America needs more drag at this point in history. That and prime time hearings on one particular, out of 10,000, riots that happened over a year ago.

Here is another WTF Moment.
Male blood donor who refused to say if he was pregnant turned away Link WTF is going on, am I living in the Fekking Twilight Zone!!
[/url]
[url=https://t.co/oQQtNrc6sW]
Quote:A 66-year-old Scottish man who has donated blood for years says he was turned away after refusing to answer if he was, or had recently been, pregnant.
Leslie Sinclair has donated over 125 pints of blood in the last half century, according to the Daily Mail. But when he most recently showed up to do his part to save lives, he says he was told to fill out a form asking if he was or had been pregnant anytime within the past six months.
“I indicated to the staff that I could not be in this position, but they told me that I must answer, otherwise I would not be able to donate blood,” Sinclair, of the central Scotland town of Stirling, told the Daily Mail. “I told them that it was stupid and that if I had to leave I would not come back and that was it, I got on my bike and left.”
