The biggest thing with auto insurance isn't covering your car, it's covering the cost of whatever you hit sueing you.
Your car may only be worth $3,000, but if you hit a pedestrian and they require a dozen surgeries and are wheelchair bound for life, you bet you're ass you're getting sued for a few million in medical costs.
In a reasonable country, those medical costs would be free, but since they're not you need some sort of protection against once accident bankrupting you in civil suits.
Tbf, I doubt he made a video, as he died in 1883, lol.

Yeah, this one clearly reads as satire. The fact that people think it's not is wild to me.
While I don't disagree, I do feel like people are over-quick to label any hard questions that don't align with thier viewpoint as sealioning.
I've more than once asked questions about the practicality or edge cases of a particular stance and been called a sealion for it.
But the thing is, I want to know how that thing handles the practicality or edge case issues, and am trying to have someone who is deeper into the weeds on the issue than I am explain it to me, but just get called a sealion for it.
To be fair, this has only happened to me 2-3 times, but it's super annoying, because I'm actually trying to understand, and might even be on your side if you'd address my concerns.
Ngl, I saw this and was like, effing chatgpt garbage, and down voted.
Then I realized the joke and upvoted. You got me on that one.
Sure, but that's not what the article is saying, to be clear.
To clarify, the article is just saying that it's wildly unfeasible and prohibitively expensive.
They're not saying it's dangerous or going to harm people in some way.
I feel like some people may get the wrong idea from the headline.
What makes you think you can't leave a significant positive legacy?
You can get involved with your neighbors. Invest in your local community. Adopt an orphan or volunteer at a women's shelter.
There's a million things you can do to make a significant impact. Every person you invest in is another person who can go and invest in others.
This idea that anything that's below the national or worldwide level isn't significant is a cancer on society.
There are people who lived hundreds of years ago who, sure, you'll probably have never heard of if you don't live in the same area as me, but who have had huge impact on the community. The same is true for where you live. I promise you.
Bring your eyes down, and look to make your legacy local. I promise you it's possible. And I promise you that it's significant.
I think the controversial bit, is that it's thanking a rival nation for invading and committing atrocities.
It'd be like if Zelensky came out and thanked Putin for invading Ukraine, as it let him be president over a more united country.
Sure, maybe technically correct, but people probably would be (rightfully) pretty pissed if he said it.
In addition to what everyone else said, property damage is a big part of it as well.
Let's say you run into a building and knock out a load bearing wall. Or plough through a business or government office. It's not impossible to rack up a couple million in damages if you crash bad enough.
