Its rated as this great program, helps dealerships, who contribute a lot of money locally,via advertising and supporting little league teams and all that.
but, that $4500 you get? That's your money. Its coming out of your taxes. Its like taking $4500 off your credit card, and giving it to the dealer.
no other industry get this...and it sure didn't come about when dealers were going under. Only after the number of dealers were culled, so they can't compete with the other dealer down the road.
who's real benefit is this program for?
Back in the VCR days, I realized, if there was a TV program I liked, I could, you know, actually tape it if it was running live while there was some event going on outside at that exact same time I wanted to go catch. Then I could go to that event (a concert, movie at the college, whatever), come home, and watch that taped TV show whenever there was a time when nothing good was on TV.
Apparently, I was the only one to figure this out. Now entire TV seasons are on DVD, so you can watch a series you've heard good reviews on, all at once, rather than wait for a marathon run some weekend when the weather is nice.
So, anyone else figured out how to keep life simple thru simple planning?
That's great...until the adult or person of authority fails to act nice. Then what does the child do? At what age does the child learn how, as an adult, to decide when to act nice, and when to stand up to abuse?
When is a child taught how to be nice, rather than to just act nice? If you know how to be nice, then you can recognize the same in other people. Ypu don't need to see a badge or a collar or someone's age, to know they are treating you nicely. You just compare your actions to their's, and if you act nice and they act nice...then you know for sure, they are nice. You don't need to go ask friends or strangers on the Internet, is behavior X respectful?
By age 18, life is truly made easier if you have figured yourself out. Learned your weaknesses, so you can avoid their temptation. Learned your strengths, by being tested rather than letting Daddy's credit card bail you out. Discovered how much willpower you really have to do the work necessary to fulfill your wants--and learn what is really a "want", and what is actually a "need".
The more you truly know about yourself, the smaller the void is in your life. You know what that void is--its the black hole players try to fill up with multiple conquests. Its the black hole materials try to fill up with their buying sprees, fueled by the boredom with the last new thing they bought to feel better.
Its that black space that makes us afraid to love because we don't know what it is we have to give--or if we have the strength to give it away. Of course in reality, we never give it away--we only share it. So we can never lose what we share. We can just find someone better to share it with.
Learn what it is you have to give. You may not like everything you see in yourself, but you'll know what you don't need more of from other people. That'll help you in your decisions about your social and romantic life.
Learn what you can handle, and you'll know what decisions to make about your economic life. Move to that better job? Take a risk? Now you'll know what you can afford to lose, what you can rebuild or replace.
