Might as well let people work who want to work, since we have such low unemployment that businesses are having a hard time finding employees and have to pay more when they do find them. And of course, pay taxes, have licenses and have insurance. This is a nation of immigrants and its growth and success has depended on immigrants.

It's ironic that in a time when businesses are struggling to find employees due to low unemployment, there are individuals who are eager to work but can't secure a job despite applying to hundreds of positions. |

I have trouble understanding this also. There are people on unemployment who don’t want to work, but are required to send out resumes in order to satisfy the unemployment benefit condition of looking for work. These people cost employers money because employers pay businesses like Indeed to advertise and for each response, and the applicant often never shows up for an interview. We have 3 small businesses and about 70 employees and experience this regularly.

Latest six month insurance cost, went up 15% on my CS. I have no accidents in the 32 years I’ve been driving and haven’t been pulled over in nearly 20 years. Not a single claim in over 25 years either.
What an absolute joke. |

My renewal skyrocketed to $4900/6 mo. Basically they didn't want me as a customer anymore. Very few companies are even willing to quote my zip in Los Angeles. I'm not about to pay $10k/yr to insure a car that's worth like $23k now.
Switched to Progressive, which is about half the cost for the same coverage. Three years ago I didn't even pay $3k for the whole year. Same car.

In his case, he never got interviews. Had he gotten them, he would have made his appearances, if only for "practice". Before he graduated, he already had a job paying twice what his previous job paid. As an aside, he did not want to even sign up for unemployment, I had to convince him to do so. maybe unemployment should drop the job search requirement, it is easy to game that system.

My mother-in-law was hit by a drunk uninsured driver and her car was totaled. Her insurance company cut her a check for the value of the car. I went a step further. I have full replacement value for the same or newer car. And.. if the car were to appreciate, I get the higher value. |

I honestly think that it doesn't work, so it simply adds complexity with no gain. And as you said, it has been a problem for you. I assume others. Many of he folks gaming the system are not rocket scientists, which tells me a lot about how easy it is. We could talk about enforcement, but who knows what that would cost.
And I also don't care. It is not a problem for me. I have never taken unemployment, having been employed without a break for 50 years. Still, as I posted, "maybe". And we are talking about people who were employed and were laid off without cause, not some welfare mooches.

Dropped the 230ix from my insurance policy...
Decided to sell the 2024 230ix and just make do with one car, my 2023 M2. (Sold the 230ix to the BMW dealer.)
So I "saved" $738/6 months by not having to insure the 230ix (and I save $85/month ($510/6 months) on garage rent). (Plus the $36,000 I got for the car goes into a CD earning a bit over 5% APY which is about $150/month (before taxes.) But the M2 insurance went from $684/6 months to $841/6 months. |
