How about this? How about we begin a reverse the trend in what has been an icirntodnation of the American public to embrace, dedicate to and trust American Corporate Elites and business’s. Choosing to work for someone else and deciding to put your life in their hands rather than taking complete responsibility for your own standing in life is a very risky venture. But what American business WANTS from the Amreican people is just that!Are they open to this dedication in complete acknowledgement and respect that people CAN make DIFFERENT choices other than deciding to be part of the obedient little labor pool which is the heart of their money making machines?Without the labor pool you have nothing! Are we going to continue to teach the labor pool that the rationale behind making this choice no longer makes sense? People are being educated to the fact today that they do not matter and eventually people will begin to make choices that will change and rattle the very foundation in which the arrogance of business relies upon.If someone is willing to put their life into your hands when they DO have choices to work for themselves instead somewhat ungreatful? Isn’t it dangerous if one wnats to keep the dedication of the labor pool intact?They have to be able to rationalize that there is something in it for them beyond mere existence short of any American Dream standard, correct or not?American business can dis themselves from American workers by outsourcing, lowering pay and benefits leaving average Americans with no source or hope for their own American dream.American business, Republicans and their supporters act as if someone who has no education does not deserve to be able to afford a small 1000 sf. home, afford the car, insurance and maintenance cost of an automobile to get back and forth to their job. They act as if we also do not deserve health care or a retirement fund.They are in complete denial of the cost’s American families need to meet bare minmal basics minus the American Dream! For what? Increased profits for the special interests.People will rise up! People will get tired of this and it might not manifest in forcing those that have to give to those that don’t.It might manifest itself in the lower classes waking up and creating for themselves. Problem is, where will this leave todays corporate business’s, their stock holders and true snobs of this country? Is it possible their labor pools will begin to dry up? Is it possible that the notion of working for someone else will become a stigma in society that only an ignorant person would choose?So those business owners and special interests? Well, I think THEY should ASLO be greatful for what they have in labor pool candidates as it CAN go away! Right now we have the best of both worlds and both sides should be greatful for that. But this mentality against labor is sure to change the dynamics of everything we’ve known if it continues. I somehow believe it will continue as professionalism today seems to lakc common street sense and is destructive in the long term.Time will tell, People will know the only thing American business will accept is the death of them for the purpose of profit and belonging to the labor pool will no longer be an option.The Republicans are the largest proponents of staunch immigration issues yet they are the largest beneficiaries of illegal immigration for the exploitation of labor costs. What will they do without illegal immigrants????The future will be different and it most definitely will NOT result in people accepting less and less until they are starving. Does that make any sense? At what point will the business intent to continue to increase their profits at the expense to it’s labor pool run out? When will it stop? The answer is, it won’t! And with that yiou have proof and common sense to tell you this will all change. For those that have it all today that don’t change their tune it will be ugly. For those that have nothing it will be a beautiful day and will ahve been gained from their own hard work rather than giving the fruits of that hard work to those who never appreciated it. Let them eat cake.
One of the problems in J.D. Powers rating system on insurance companies is that they do not break out *claims* or *rental*. The biggest headache with a company in the *poor* bracket is that they have extremely an extremely poor claims department whose sole job seems to be to slash the estimate and try to rush the claim in order to charge your deduction. With one of companies, there is also question of the professionalism of the claims people and their relationship with the *preferred* body shops. This company claims adjuster bragged about his 20 year relationship (personal) with the company’s preferred shop.Because of this omission, The brunt of the displeasure is directed at the agent. In fact, this company’s agent are their best asset but are under cut by other departments that they have no control over. For this reason, one must take JD powers ratings with a grain of salt and I was shocked to see the survey made no mention of the most important part of auto insurance: Claims. not one question related to claims or the rental department
