It probably brings back some junior/senior high school trauma they most likely all ~~have~~ caused.

I'm pretty sure that's a lot of this issue. They were bullies and assholes in school and always picked on the "weird kid(s)" and now that they're being referred to that way they're freaking out because they're scared they're going to become a target.

One of the best West Wing lines ever. Penn Jillette is awesome.

appointing a Supreme Court Justice during an election ~~year~~

FTFY. Voting had already started when they rammed the handmaid in there to replace Ginsburg.

I think you missed the joke.

There is competition here, though. It’s not like it’s a single insurance company monopoly. You can usually get a better deal by shopping around.

It's kind of funny you mention this. I just sat down and went through every insurance company I could find (over 15 of them) that are still writing policies here in CA because Geico decided to jack my rates over 20% this renewal. Literally every one of them were within $5 every 6 months of the price Geico is charging me for the renewal.

Tell me again how I'm supposed to "get a better deal by shopping around"?

Yes, and 2 wrongs make a right of course. /s

Or maybe it's about vengeance and not about paying a due to society?

Penn Jillette said it best. Paraphrasing: "I rape and kill and murder everyone I want to, and that number is zero. Why the fuck isn't your number zero???"

How about you read the bill yourself instead of asking some dipshit on the internet to tell you what to think?

Interesting how you dropped the second half of that sentence to try to hammer it into your point about "oh em gee teh gubmint is gunna git me".

The new law, which reforms the state’s conservatorship system, expands the definition of “gravely disabled” to include people who are unable to provide themselves basic needs such as food and shelter due to an untreated mental illness or unhealthy drugs and alcohol use.
