What the fuck is wrong with US insurance?! This person's poor vehicle choices aside, when I insure my vehicle in Australia, we (the insurance company and I) agree an insured value when I take out the insurance. They set the cost based on that agreed value and a few other things. Then if my car is written off they pay me the agreed value plus any other costs covered. What's this agreed market value nonsense? Why would anyone agree to that for a financed vehicle?

Arguably we should be imposing 25% DST on digital products to counter the 25% tariff on aluminium and steel and then 10% on everything else. The US started it by imposing blanket tariffs in spite of our free trade agreement.

So wouldn't it be better to have an independent regulator and a robust set of ethics and rules the media needs to adhere to?

What's to stop a horizontally governed media collective from being compromised and corrupted?

If only the media was well regulated to protect against bad actors turning it into a propaganda machine like this

It's their favourite 5d chess move "throw shit at wall and hope some of it sticks"

Trump thinks Hannibal Lecter 'was' a great man. So, his inability to separate fact from fiction aside, you can only assume he's all good with serial killers, will be happy to be praised by them, and will continue to not reevaluate, or initially evaluate, anything.
