I think you are way off!

 

Country founded by Geniuses, but run by Master Minds!

 

They are not idiots, they know the agenda and whom benefits, and it sure is not you nor I.

 

It is all about the debt, the money system. In short USURY.

 

It is not until you comprehend the evil trick that USURY is, that you will see who benefits by all you have listed.

 

CUI BONO? Follow the Money if you can.

A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots

 

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If you have to get your parents permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If, in the nations largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is cute, but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If the governments plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldnt be found you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more safe according to the government you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

 

What a country!

------------------------------------

X

Sorry to see you have such a low opinion of the very government that makes your business possible. Sorry too to see that you are nearly as clueless as you claim the government to be. You are wrong on so many fronts but your bigotry and "independent streak" prevents you from seeing how many of the points you complain about came about due to abuses foisted upon innocent, independent and honest citizens. But just for a few,

 

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

You have to get caught before you can be arrested or ticketed for hunting or fishing without a license. If you are here illegally and get caught you likely will get tossed from this country. The common thread between the two? You have to get caught. And I know in your blind hatred of that "uppity black man in the WHITE House" you won't acknowledge this, but two facts come to mind on the illegal immigration issue: 1)this administration has deported more illegal immigrants in its first 4 years than baby bush did in 8. 2) If the "nasty, oppressive" government cracked down on employers hiring illegal immigrants then there would be little demand and the supply would dry up. But that would require intrusive burdensome regulations and cost businesses more money (in higher wages for documented workers).

 

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

I don't have to fly on an airplane. I don't have to show my driver license to cash a check, I simply have to supply my account number. But a bank account is also not absolutely nevcessary. By my age I don't ever have to show my ID. If I have to present it, they always scan it anyway, and on top of that, it is not my civic duty to drink beer. My library uses my driver license as my library card, but my 11 year old son has a library card and can check out a book anytime he wants. Do you think he has an ID or a driver licence? My video store asks for my phone number and my password, no license, no ID. If you were honest you would admit that the only reason why the voter ID laws are being pushed is for voter suppression. Pennsylvani admitted there was no reason for them to be pushing their ID law, they admitted there was not problem the law was intending to fix. The Republican Lawyer's Association did a study of voter fraud cases and found 400 nationwide over a 10 year period. That is less than one per year per state. And that was the republicans' own organization that could not find evidence to support the party's whims and whines. "But a fraudulent vote dilutes the legitimate votes" they say while ignoring the very fact that the voter suppression dilutes the legitimate vote far more. Thousands upon thousands being denied the right to vote because they don't have the necessary paperwork, and no a state issued driver license is not always accepted as proper ID in order to stop less than one fraudulent vote per year per state. Shameful, just shameful.

 

Yep, if the republicans get control of the country again you will be right, it will be run by idiots. Dishonest, crooked, self-interested idiots. And like HarrytheCarGeek wrote, "Follow the Money if you can." Both parties are guilty. Both parties are beholden to the big donors. And the republican (IN)Justices on the Supreme Circus guaranteed us a contiuance of that by granting corporations and wealthy citizens (and non-citizens too thought 501 ©(4) anonymous groups) more equal speech. Sadly that level of speech isn't "free" so not everyone has the same abilty to speak. Both parties pander to their donors, and don't think those "anonymous' donors" are really anonymous to the candidates) it's just one throws a bone to The People once in awhile. The other bones The People every chance it gets in favor of the rich and powerful, of which I would suppose you are not. One of the 1% perhaps, but I don't imagine you are part of the the party privileged. And I think you have been around too long to be one of their pay-per-trolls.

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      In this episode of "The Weekly Blitz," Coach Chris Cotton delves into enhancing customer experience in the auto repair industry. He underscores that many customers have never encountered exceptional service, presenting a unique opportunity for shops to stand out. Chris shares practical tips for creating memorable interactions, emphasizing communication, trust, and personal connections. He advises making every touchpoint memorable, under-promising and over-delivering, and building trust through transparency.


      Chris begins by discussing the importance of first impressions. He suggests that the initial phone call or visit to the shop sets the tone for the entire customer experience. He recommends training staff to greet customers warmly, listen attentively to their concerns, and provide clear, concise information about the services offered. By doing so, shops can immediately establish a positive rapport with their clients.


      Next, Chris highlights the significance of ongoing communication. He advises shop owners to keep customers informed throughout the repair process, providing updates on the status of their vehicle and any unexpected issues that arise. This proactive approach not only keeps customers in the loop but also demonstrates the shop's commitment to transparency and honesty.


      Chris also emphasizes the power of personal connections. He encourages shop owners to take the time to get to know their customers, remembering their names, preferences, and previous interactions. This personalized approach can make customers feel valued and appreciated, fostering loyalty and repeat business.


      In addition to these interpersonal strategies, Chris discusses the importance of creating a comfortable and welcoming shop environment. He suggests investing in a clean, well-organized waiting area with amenities such as Wi-Fi, refreshments, and reading materials. A pleasant atmosphere can make the wait time more enjoyable and leave a lasting positive impression.


      Sponsored by Shop Marketing Pros, the episode highlights the importance of marketing in attracting and retaining customers. Chris advises shop owners to leverage digital marketing tools, such as social media and email campaigns, to showcase their exceptional service and engage with their audience. He also recommends soliciting and showcasing customer reviews and testimonials to build credibility and trust.


      The episode concludes with Chris encouraging shop owners to transform their services into unforgettable experiences. He reminds them that in an industry where exceptional service is rare, going above and beyond can set their shop apart from the competition. By focusing on communication, trust, personal connections, and a welcoming environment, auto repair shops can create loyal customers who return time and time again.
