  1. Love ’em or hate ’em, they are a private company and can do what they want with “their” money.

    Actual message to blacks: all y’all can’t do stuff by your ingnorant selves, so we, the great white fathers/mothers will save you.”

    But then, Progressive always was leftist.

  4. All those commercials in prime aren’t cheap, and the costs are rolled into the premiums.
    The ones I don’t get are the ‘young homeowner turning into their parents’. What the heck does that have to do with insurance?
