Interesting factoids
Here are some useful facts:
- Chances are no matter how much you pay for your nonprescription sunglasses there’s no guarantee the lenses will adequately protect your eyes.
- If you lease a car and know that you’ll go over the annual millage limits, negotiate the price per mile early on rather than when returning the car.
- Make sure your new car has the right tires from day one – rain tires if you live in a rainy place or performance (Z-rated) for a fast car. Many times the manufacturer will put the cheapest tire which passes the requirements. You may be able to be able to trade in the tires when new or negotiate with the dealer up front. This should be very easy in today’s economic conditions.
- Many special interest groups and think tanks have very misleading names which are designed to fool you into thinking they are neutral and bias free. For example most people know that Project for the New American Century is the extreme right wing neoconservative think tank that got us into Iraq, but they may not know that the good sounding Foundation for Defense of Democracies is another neocon antidemocratic agitprop organization.
- Most municipalities use traffic tickets to try to balance their budget. So the actual ticket cost is way higher than the nominal costs. For example in California the cost of first offense in driving with a cell phone in hand is $15 but the actual cost after the "costs and penalties" is $172 in Orange county.
