A flat tire is not a crisis


Posted: Apr 23, 2013

It's 100 bucks to get a tire put on.  This is not a crisis.  Although it feels like it, when you're dealing with someone who wants to repair a tire, well we'll use this old one, etc.  No, just let's get a frickin' new tire and be done with it.

I have to go to work and come home, with NO flat tire GUARANTEED. I checked the pressure in the "replacement" "spare" (translation: old screwed up tire), and it was 20 PSI, when it should be at least 32-35. How do I know if I drive it to work, it won't be 10 PSI, or go flat, and then I wreck the rim, or get into an accident, or???????

I just read two seconds ago online, about a tire flying off a pickup truck and killing a woman, it struck her van.

I went and got a tire put on today - a BRAND NEW tire - not used, or repaired, but BRAND NEW. So it has two new tires on it, and then I will get two more BRAND NEW tires.

Today in traffic, I just felt overwhelmed - I have a big old boat of a car - can I replace it? I have to replace it. I think I should just move to a place with good public transportation, and be done with this car thing. My grandmother took the buses all over Detroit and walked, even when she was elderly.

Yes, I vent more about the tires. Cars are a nightmare, they just are.
If car is that big, why not move into it? A true mobile home. - (Leave the guy behind.) nm

I've Been Reading Up On The Flat TaxApr 14, 2011
Flat tax won't work. If they would institute a flat tax, they would close loopholes we all take at tax time. This is why Malcolm Forbes running for President was all for the flat tax. " Following the 1986 tax reform, the average income tax paid by somebody in the $50,000-$75,000 bracket indeed went down, and I mean way down--$1,100. The total tax take for that bracket went up $7.6 billion because there were many more taxpayers in that range in 1987. Fact is, taxes for virtually all tax bra ...

The League of Conservation Voters is targeting five House Republicans who question or deny human links to climate change with a $1.5 million ad campaign, The Washington Post reported Monday. Dubbing the GOP legislators the "Flat Earth Five," the environmental group is looking to see whether it can help knock its targets out of their respective races. It will attempt to do that by amplifying those lawmakers' global-warming views and connections to the fossil-fuel industry. So far, the grou ...

Our Stupid Self-inflicted CrisisJul 25, 2011
New York (CNN) -- Let me get this straight. The people who have been preaching the most about the dangers of American decline are right now helping to hasten American decline. Because if America defaults on its debt, not only will we find ourselves in a far deeper fiscal hole, but the full faith and credit of the United States will be compromised. In our globalized era, that means America will be considered an unpredictable partner and a second-class power. Worst of all, this will be a s ...

Mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could need nearly $100 billion in bailout money in the event of a new economic crisis, according to stress test results released Monday by their regulator. The companies would need to draw between $34.8 billion and $99.6 billion in U.S. Treasury aid under a “severely adverse” scenario, depending on how they treated assets used to offset taxes, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said in its report. The losses would leave $158.4 billion to ...

Ontario - New figures released by the federal government show that illegal border crossings into Canada continue to rise, with 877 people picked up in March by the RCMP, an increase over the 658 people picked up in February and the 315 in January.
