Vehicle insurance is required by law, that’s why the majority of policies exist. If a vendor is allowed to unilaterally decide after the fact that insurance is not valid on claims, then the policies being sold do not qualify as road coverage. Vendors need to guarantee vehicles under their policies or their capacity to act as underwriter/agents should be stripped.

The case above is one of a vendor attempting to disallow coverage and leave OP holding bad debt. This type of chicanery should not be allowed at all.

It’s not you. Car insurance companies are having a gold rush by denying coverage after the fact based on gig work. It’s similar to what was done with health insurance companies. Until government steps in and says insurance covers a vehicle for a timeframe, lots of claims will get questioned or denied outright. Corruption at its finest.

You could make it “it’s curtains for me evildoer!” Then you’re bragging.

Self deprecating humor counts though. Feel free to walk around with a curtain tied to your back.

Calling bs on that. Even if your particular brand of partisan was dominant, they’d still infight as though they were facing the devil. Your difficulties are not all dependent on a handful of royals.

People stuck on an island, let’s sell sandwiches.

Aren’t most of those honest?

The only straight game in world politics is most of us don’t like anyone else enough to want to be responsible for anyone else no matter what resources they might bring to the table.

There’s no way this sticks. Everyone knows Michael Bay can’t hit a mark.

Excellent. I didn’t realize you were only here to make friends and had no grounding in any of the subject matter. Carry on.

I’ll be here waiting on your basic assignment. I can get away with open deadlines because those late assignments never show up.

Excellent. I’ll take that as you have no idea on any of the history, mechanics, nor shortfalls.

Go on then. Let’s hear your lecture on how this is a milestone any different than every other boondoggle that produced nothing.

Fusion has been done multiple ways by multiple different types of mechanisms. The people trying to get more funding or sell off run their numbers in favorable ways to themselves. Some forget how much work went into the setup. Some forget how much cooling costs. Some forget there’s no form of heat engine or magnetic bottle system attached. Some forget that their system can’t be used repeatedly, in fast succession, to power an electrical system. There’s nothing new to another “fusion milestone” that isn’t any closer than the last scam, only with newer materials developed by a different third party.

A fusion milestone is a system that can run from ignition into a standard electrical line using less electricity than it requires. It’d still be way underwater, but it’d be a functional milestone. Not just another funding round for a multibillion dollar boondoggle that lets a few frontmen feel important.

Add zombies as the distraction.
