Liability, the minimum that is required by law. I'm in favor of that, it's there to protect people who I might hurt and I could always choose to not drive a car.

See I'll bet you were going to go on and compare that to healthy insurance but I just shut that misguided and overused argument down didn't I

you could have pocketed all the money that went toward that instead of having it come back to help you. you didn't "need" that service at the time you were paying into it, but i guess the argument is, well it's there so i'll damn well use it.

good strategy, bRO
I did, because I'd been paying into it for 10 years. If I hadn't been paying into it I would have had enough savings that I wouldn't have needed unemployment. It made it a lot easier for me to sit on my ass for a few months of extended vacation instead of immediately looking for a job, further proof that programs like this essentially turn us all into Stevey.
