New York is about to do something EVIL. To reduce car insurance premiums, Governor Katy Hochul wants to cap compensation to crash victims

You want to bring down car insurance premiums? I'll tell you how to do it.
π΅ Allow insurance companies to use speed camera data.
π΅ Ban SUVs. Ban Luxury cars. They are a lot more expensive to repair. That's it. Problem fixed.
The problem is these stupid carbrain voters π€ͺ don't want any of that that.
π΄ If you start banning SUVs and luxury cars, they will whine about communism
π΄ If you allow insurance companies to use speed camera data to overcharge speeding drivers, they will whine about oppression.
There is no magic solution to this problem.
Voters want to buy huge cars, they want to speed, and they want cheap insurance premiums. At the same time. Well that's just not possible.
So now, New York will screw car crash victims.
Ban cars. Don't nationalize them. The state already subsidizes cars to the point of planetary destruction.
Jesus Christ have you learned nothing from the last year?
We need to abolish capitalism, not replace it with an all-powerful federal government.
You could collectivise all insurance companies. Autonomy from the government and the capitalists.
Consumer cooperatives can be great "direct-er" democracy organisations when compared to governments.
