@DrMaxPowarr @robprogressive You can self insure. Deposit £500k with the Accountant General of the Senior Courts, and that counts. So you've got your personal choice. (you also have personal choice between third party only, level of excess, etc.) But it's much easier to just post rage bait to X.

Insurance is a massive scam. Everyone should be responsible for repairing their own cars. Why should someone with an old car costing £800 pay £1,500 a year on insurance to bring down the cost of insurance of someone driving an £80,000+ car? It should be personal choice to get insurance, not mandatory. I'll drive an older car and repair it myself if anything happens. If you drive an £80,000+ car you can choose to pay the high insurance premium to protect that expensive asset you drive around on public rounds at high speed. It should not be my responsibility to bring down your costs and pay insurance that I don't want or need.

Insurance feels more & more like a massive scam Someone in an old Toyota Yaris reversed into my Aston Martin DBS I tried to claim on the insurance Her insurance, not mine, because it was her fault. My car was stationary  Her repair bill: £50. MY repair bill: £5,000 And not ONLY did my trying to claim on HER insurance put MY insurance premium up… It put the premium up on all my other cars (7 cars) including business partners’ cars AND my business fleet of cars (total 15 cars)

AND for the next FIVE years. WTF For a car reversing into my PARKED car A  week later I stopped at a junction & some guy went into the back of my f*cking Aston Martin again Of course he was sorry Another 5 grand repair bill. So that's 10 grand for two claims I can't make Imagine if I’m ill and YOUR health insurance goes up, because I touched you I mean, that would be a scam, wouldn’t it? Have you ever tried to claim for anything? Almost impossible to get any money  And if you do, you end up paying MORE & your premium is higher that it was  Why is no one talking about this?

@PapaJ_Arkadian @Thefactsdude @ClownWorld @DocBrown088 I found this, from the website I linked. alison.legislature.state.al.us/code-of-alabam… In Alabama, you must have your license with you when driving. So the state obligates you to have the license. And if the license costs money, then you have to pay to be able to drive.

@ABallOnAString @Thefactsdude @ClownWorld @DocBrown088 This website has no authority. I am talking about the actual codes and titles on the record. It's publicly available in your state. Read the statute and find where it obligates a man/woman to pay for the privilege to travel.

I would lose my mind

@PapaJ_Arkadian @Thefactsdude @ClownWorld @DocBrown088 Here's a website that references the state codes per state. drivinglaws.org/topics/driving…

@Thefactsdude @ClownWorld @DocBrown088 Has anyone ever read the statute/code that requires a man or woman to purchase a driver's license and car registration?

@Ferrari_ball @beaver51581 @Mandlbaur @DavidRu31988626 @MaytheforcebeM @JinemanFim @PhysInHistory He also wanted to break conservation of energy (i.e. build an over-unity device). He doesn't actually think that physics is a coherent set of theories, more just a set of switches that can be turned on and off if you don't like it, without any other repercussions.

@beaver51581 @Mandlbaur @ABallOnAString @DavidRu31988626 @MaytheforcebeM @JinemanFim @PhysInHistory John once presented an article about gear boxes with cog wheels, which indeed transfer energy. He didn't realise that torque is the way they do this and thinks that the conservation of rotational energy is a general law in engineering. He never knows when to apply what law.

Can science and religion coexist, or are they fundamentally at odds? ✍️

@beaver51581 @Mandlbaur @DavidRu31988626 @MaytheforcebeM @JinemanFim @PhysInHistory Mandlbaur thinks engineers have their own, secret, ways of predicting a ball on a string. But he's never shown any evidence of that. Detailed predictions are here: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…, again, John doesn't think this is true, despite being peer reviewed.

@Mandlbaur @DavidRu31988626 @MaytheforcebeM @JinemanFim @PhysInHistory If I'm lying then tell me one real scientist that predicted 12000 rpm. Also "nutcase" is ad hominem and you are character assassinating me to evade the argument.

@Mandlbaur @simonmaechling Who discovered angular momentum is not conserved? Why are they being punished?

@simonmaechling The crisis is not so much the reward of the stupidity, but the punishment of intelligence as is happening now with the punishment of the person who discovered that angular momentum is not conserved.

The real crisis isn’t a lack of intelligence. It’s a system that rewards stupidity at scale.
