that there is any effort at all to point out why this is okay is bewildering. it's antisocial behavior. there is a reason this is on hn, folks. and there is a reason why basic car insurance is not. not today, anyway. its because it is disruptive, obnoxious behavior that juts out and has jagged edges, and people dont stand for that. this isn't about my roof, or yours. people are quick to point out, "fwiw, they could cancel your insurance right now! they arent required to even give it to you, so yeah, they can do that" or, "they're perfectly within the law to do it, next". I paraphrase here, but regardless. I confidently say to that: Hah! then the law got it wrong, then. and the law needs to change. that is specifically the problem. they simply have too much power. and now they're rubbing our faces on it while a bunch of you rush to find why that's [legally] alright, while you only consider why it makes sense to you, not why it doesn't make sense to others. a critical oversight. they could have gone about this 100 different ways. fleet drones. really?

I predict that they are preparing substantial layoffs; thats the only thing that even begins to explain this situation. out with the old, in with the drones
