On Tuesday, YouTube announced that YouTube TV, one of the most popular options for streaming live TV, would be getting a price hike to $65 a month, up from $50.

The increase was met with angry tweets from customers and led to some questioning why YouTube TV is even necessary considering there are more affordable options, like Sling, FuboTV and Hulu with live options that all come in for less than YouTube TV now does.

I’m planning on sticking with YouTube TV, despite the rate hike, because it’s simply the best live TV streaming service around. Here’s why:

What To Know About Subrogation Claims | The Simple Dollar

When you get into a car accident, your insurance company will reimburse you for the damages as quickly as possible. But if you didn’t cause the crash, they work with the other driver’s insurance company to recoup the payout. This process is called subrogation, and while drivers don’t usually get involved, it’s helpful to understand the process in case you ever have to sign a waiver of subrogation.

What is subrogation?

Subrogation is a legal process that is used in various types of insurance claims, including auto, home and health insurance. Essentially, it’s the legal right for an insurance company to reimburse a policyholder for a loss and seek repayment from the third party that is responsible for the damages.

The process of subrogation makes it easier for policyholders to get a settlement after a major loss. With subrogation, the insurance company assumes the financial burden of the policyholder and tries to get the payout from the party or company that is at-fault. Subrogation is a common process, although many drivers aren’t aware of it.

Kyleena Falzone’s restaurants in the mountain resort town of Crested Butte, Colorado, the Secret Stash and Bonez, together made nearly $6 million in revenue last year. But when Gunnison County issued an order March 16 for all visitors to leave as soon as possible, what looked like the start of another busy spring season came to an abrupt end. She had to lay off 132 of her 140 employees. But while her restaurants likely would have survived the lockdown in hibernation mode, she says, “I couldn’t just sit around.”

Instead, Falzone spent the next three months feeding thousands of out-of-work locals through 11 weeks of farmers’ markets handouts, 83 nights of free dinner kits, and three weeks of free groceries. Using social media, she crowdfunded most of the $100,000-plus effort from people who own second homes in the town. Here’s how she pulled off the initiative, which even inspired a similar project thousands of miles away.
