If the city can’t control drug addicts, mental health sufferers, and homeless, healthcare workers have to bear the brunt of their abuse. My friend works security at a Seattle hospital. He has to deal with an enormous number of abusive patients who clearly need mental help - not medical - and him and the staff are powerless mostly because of policies designed to avoid liability, or policies that try to treat violent patients with compassion

It’s about education and not every teacher is corrupt. But have one of those teachers try and tell both sides of Covid in any curriculum and they will be fired and/or have funding cut.

UW has more prominence on a resume, specifically the medical line of business, l but WSU has its specialities like engineering and military related careers.

Saying insurance is a scam is ignorant. What insurance does is protect from you from being sued if you cause a wreck where there is property damage or loss of life. All you'll be out is your premium instead of having your livelihood financially destroyed or going to jail.

I'm assuming you paid cash for the car? Because unless the car is financed, you don't have to carry anything more than liability insurance, which generally is not too bad (depending on what type of car, your driving record, and the area you live). If the car is financed you have to carry full coverage.

Do have your day in court, and they may defer your ticket or let you pay in installments. But in general that won't happen if you don't bring proof of insurance with you.

Take the L on this one. You were obviously in the wrong. The judge probably won’t be lenient on you considering that stack up of offenses. In the future, having insurance and tabs is usually, collectively cheaper than getting a ticket for them and then also having to pay for them afterwards anyway. If you get insurance and tabs you might be able to get a reduction on those parts of the fee, but the seatbelt one you’re SOL.
