If Trump loses, it is blood in the streets.

Talked with a new client in montana yesterday.

Talked with him in the morning.

And then called him a few hours later.

He couldn’t purchase his auto insurance policy during the morning call.

“Have to go to the bank to put some money on my debit card.”

Fine. Happens all the time.

Called him back right at the scheduled time.

Got his debit card info.

Ran his motor vehicle report.

Cost of his insurance policy went up over $100 per month after some derogatory items showed on the MVR.

He could not afford the inflated cost of the policy after I got the MVR.

“I don’t have the money.”

Slashed all the coverages and sold him a liability only insurance policy.

Cost: Just over $100 per month.

“I’m in living in my truck man. I have no address.”

He said to me in response after I asked him which of his two addresses to use for the debit card’s billing address.

“I’m living in my truck.”

This country no longer has Hoovervilles.

It has 54-year-old white men.

Living in their pickup trucks.

In Missoula, Montana.

In the winter.

In 2024.

We are so, so completely fu--ed.

And folks wonder why I am mentally exhausted by the weekend.

What sort of idjit pays a tip for fast food, and then goes and posts the receipt on line, while complaining about the high cost of fast food?!
