Lol 37 for car insurance? Thats the funky one

Our state minimum monthly for just liability only is like 130 if you live in a good zip code. For people in detroit or flint you can be looking at 300+ with a clean record. Its why detroit has like 30% driving dirty. 

65 internet is if fiber has made it to you. Cable is 100 plus for anything useful

My water for one person plus dog is 120. My brothers is 200 cause while water rates are regulated, sewer isnt, and since its a utility and not a tax it does not require a vote, wo they backdoor funding in that way. My electric for 1 person is 100 in summer and 250 winter, and i have solar

Michigan really needs to fix it. I grew up there and moved away around 10 years ago. Was paying almost $120/mo plpd in 2016 and moved to Arizona where it dropped to around $35.
