    We Bail Em' Out....

    Hey, this is great, no name calling, no personal stupidity, just adults having a good, basic, adult conversation on important adult issues. I love it.

    I never mentioned repubs or dems. Now here is the the deal. Obama wants a single pay system. NO choice in the matter. I REFUSE to participate. Who is right? Do you REALLY believe that a government is RIGHT to use FORCE in health care? In education? Freedom is the birthright of all humans...

    We Bail Em' Out....

    No we can't chose our parents or schools through high school. Once we are adults we can chose our schools. AS adults we have 100% control over our lives, at least for the time being. I made good choices? Not all of them were good by any means but is is MY responsibility to deal with the...

    We Bail Em' Out....

    There has NEVER been a point in my life when I did NOT have a choice. Not all have had good options, but EVERYONE has a choice. Many from the getto have chosen to get out, and DID IT. I worked with several people at the agency, most in fact, that did NOT come from privileged families. I myself...

    When a person hires on to a company they agree to do certain work for a given wage. They, assuming they are people with pride and honor, do the BEST they are able to do in return for that wage. Don't like that job, too bad. You still do your best, until you find another, just quit, or work there...

    Bored out of my mind in Monroe, Michigan

    There are many good places to eat at in that area. There is a State park just up the road from that TA. What kind of truck?

    First off, no reason to get angry, this is NOT a personal discussion. I DON'T have a choice if I want to buy a car from a US company. They are ALL union and all have the same basic contracts. If the company pays for, I have too. OR, I can buy a non-union, non American made car and more union...

    When the company pays for it, WE do. They pass on every cost to the consumer. Our insurance costs are based on the cost of services provided. A policy that provides this service costs more than one that does not. If a company provides the insurance, we pay for it.

    Ford van electrical/alternator/starter problems

    I had a ground problem once that was not easy to find. All the terminals had been cleaned and everything was tight. Still a bad ground. It turned out that there was corrosion up under the insulation that was the problem. When we peeled back the insulation the cable underneath was green, and...

    Again, OVM, the person who was stupid enough to do this did it to their family, NOT the company. You can give all the breaks you want, you can pay for those breaks as well, we, the consumer, should not have too. All those costs get passed on to us. What ever happened to the idea that each...

    I can assure you of one thing, there will NEVER be a web cam of ANY kind on my truck or computer. That goes for work time, off time and the time that I am never going to drive again. NO web cams, not allowed, don't want one, won't have one. Get the picture? No, you can't get the picture, no web...

    Ford van electrical/alternator/starter problems

    Are all of the grounds clean and solid? I use a 4 hour rule on electrical problems. If I can't find it after working for 4 hours I take it into a shop. I am just not that good.

    Our new QC costs us MORE per week. I have a scanner and wi fi already. I have GPS already. The scanner may help, don't know that ours have it yet.

    A good story..

    Yeah, and much of the same thing is going on in China and let's not forget the Russians, they would LOVE to return to their old ways. Iran and North Korea are not much different.

    Nope, I am happy to say. Don't need an electric babysitter. We are more than able to manage our logs on our own. Those new QC's have no benefit to us, only higher costs with no new return to offset the cost. Anything that causes us to lose money is NOT a good thing.
