This is the year of NY's gubernatorial election. The GOP primary is in June, and of course November is pretty far away.

But Kathy's not wasting any time! She's got long ads running on TV at peak times like during Wheel of Fortune commercial breaks. She's crediting herself with "creating millions of private sector jobs."

But why so defensive and why so soon? It's only February. The GOP's candidate primary is in June. It seems like Alex and George are awfully scared of losing their puppet.

They can't let the "how could he have won by not campaigning and spending all his time in the basement" question come up again.

Remember, for Dems, it's all about the optics, not the substance.

You know it. The lizardly woman in the commercial saying "I'm gonna lower car insurance by cutting down on all the fraud.."

There's a million things wrong with that statement, but I like where this is going. The Kamala in her is coming out.

And the #1 thing is that she won't cut down on the fraud since she gets
a cut of the same fraud.

Right. Let's see how much my insurance by November. I haven't seen it go down in decades.

Same. Usually it just keeps going up, not by a lot each year.

You'd think I'd get a discount as my car gets older.

I don't know for sure, but I think it has more to do with the crime in your region. (hit and runs, stolen cars, repair costs, etc)

I know it has to do with many factors. I only wish the insurance company would let me know those factors so that I could mitigate them.

Ex: A long time ago, I decided that my main car would be a pick up truck. GM had just come out with their non-boxy versions and I picked up a nice short box one. My insurance was really cheap. I held on to it for several years and then one year my insurance went WAY up.

Yet my truck was several years old. I had no accidents or tickets. I called to complain and ask for a reason.

The answer: They've been making your truck for several years, effectively unchanged. Your truck is worth much more now to thieves as a source of parts - which is impossible to track compared to something that has a VIN attached to it.

The customer service agents likely have cheat sheets in the office with gimmicks like that. It's like when my friend (who has no furnace) asked the electric company why his bill was so high and they said "It's been really cold."
