GEICO stands for Government Employees Insurance Company?

IBM stands for International Business Machine. Their names have very little resemblance to what they are now. GEICO sells insurance to anyone that they qualify, and IBM makes electronic machines. I really think GEICO keeps there name because of the Gecko commercials.

GEICO was my first insurance company more than 30 years ago. I switched to USAA more than 20 years ago. I have no plans to go back.

I dumped geico after they dumped the gunny.

Geico has been giving money to gun grabbers, off and on, for decades. This cancellation isn't welcome news but it's not all that surprising.

And Warren Buffet can go suck on a tail pipe.
