Scams
Check Engine Lights- This is just a way for mechanics to do a whole lot of repair work that doesn't really need to be done.
Insurance on Cars that are paid for- If you have a clear title on your car, forget about reimbursement for losses. Unless the finance company holds the title, you will never get a dime.
Towing companies- Essentially they are thieves. They have a contract to steal cars. You have to pay $200 in order to get your car back if they take it.
Cell Phone Service- They make you sign a contract for a year and two months into it the quality of your service deteriorates significantly. You are stuck paying premium prices for 10 more months even though nobody can hear you when you answer, your calls are dropped over and over and over, your calls are routed directly to voice mail instead of your phone ringing, you could get abducted, raped, killed and buried waiting for the phone to ring if you call somebody for help, I could go on and on.
Tires- They could be making tires that last for the life of a car, but they don't because they want you to buy new ones every so often.
Oil- They could be making pollution free gasoline with Mon Satan corn, but they would rather tell all of us fools that they are running out of natural resources so they can jack up the price of Mother Earth's life blood and milk us for money.
Energy- Electricity could be free, but they suppressed Nikola Tesla's inventions and destroyed him, to insure all of us fools would pay to listen to the radio and watch TV.
If all of the scams were eliminated, corporations could keep wages down, and their wage slaves wouldn't have to sleep in wrecked vans.
