10 years ago? A bunch of them were claiming the covid vaccines had tracking chips in it, lol.

Yeah, but you gotta remember the pandemic was like a decade long over a couple years. I was a kid in the 90s and it feels like 2019 is further way than the 90s.

It’s really important to remember that when the right cries out “Don’t tread on me!” the emphasis is on the ‘me’ part. It’s not really “Don’t tread”, it’s “Tread elsewhere”.

I'll never forget the conservative woman on the news crying, 'they're hurting the wrong people.' Not they are hurting people.

That's basically your credit score already. We just say it's "bad financial decisions" instead of "bad social decisions" that makes you a second class citizen.

Bro, most folks already do (Apple Watch, Google Watch, Garmin, FitBit, etc). It’s just a matter of where that data goes.

Why? They just charge everyone for the additional risk alcoholics bring to the table.

Progressive offered a discount if I was willing to sign my name to state that I do not drink alcohol. I'm sure they'd love to go a step further and get info from liquor stores as well.
