    Besides the obvious Joke I'm going to side with all this. I worked enough soup kitchen lines and shelters to know a most of them lost everything to mental illness or some other disaster in their life. A lot of the ones I got to know had families, nice homes, the works. They suffered and self medicated with drugs or alcohol or something broke and they just disappeared to the streets. It's really sad. I'll damn sure go grab them some food or something useful over giving money to them but without actually getting to know them you can't judge their plight or character. Every time I've helped one or more out they were more grateful than most snobby kids these days. I'm open about my past with alcohol well it was due to self medicating and could have lead to the same places some of these folks are at.

    I'll take a deaf man signing to me in the McDonald's drive thru for some food. My daughter seeing me know ASL and talking to the man and getting him a meal and taking it to him any day that taught her a lesson in humanity. It also opened up a conversation for us to have about homelessness and helping people etc.

    You want to teach the next generation to be better than us you gotta teach them to be humane, empathetic, selfless, and care for others. You don't and you get what we have now them wanting others to fix the problem and not stepping in the trenches to help.

    I think this is fitting.

    If he's still alive the Hunchback in Durham is one of those.

    NC has to do with the Commissioner of Insurance and how the state’s DOI is set up.

    SC is high because the sheer volume of uninsured drivers is between 25-33%. If they can get a handle on that, it’ll fall back in line.

    NY is because they tax everything, and saw insurance as a way to make money

    CO was explained to me because of damaged vehicles from snow,sleet, and ice. I think in part because it’s a blue state as well.

    25-33%? Damn. SC sucks. So the insured drivers have to pick up the slack?

    insurance companies increase the cost of the uninsured/underinsured motorist to offset the added likelihood of paying a claim that resulted from no insurance

    Of course it is the people that do the right thing that has to pick up the slack.

    Racking my brain on how you fit 25 people in an Expedition. Starting to wonder if the cops aren’t just pulling gullible ol’ CNN’s leg....

    On a scout trip we broke down and stuffed 20 into a square body suburban along with hooking up the trailer to the burban. I have the pictures somewhere but that poor truck was hurting the hitch was near about dragging the ground.

    No mods at this time.
    In her video, I think a guy says, back it up? Question, is he talking about the 2 woman on the song of the year cover or a Toyota Tacoma?
