  • A huge number of people are unaware that headlights must be aimed. Some are not adjusted by the manufacturer or dealer before sale (Tesla, Toyota). Sometimes a large enough pothole or going over a speed bump too fast will knock alignment off.

    Couple this with American police driving primarily SUV’s (higher up, less bothered) and no longer issuing “fix-it” tickets unless using headlights as an excuse to pull over minorities, and we wind up with tons of issues. Feed the prison system- Don’t waste time making the roads safer!

    Lawmakers are increasingly separated from those they are elected or appointed to represent by heightened economic status, and are not affected by issues that plague everyday citizens. No longer are they accountable to their constituents- Money drives their political aims.

    As a frequent night driver, I often see people late at night using only the decorative running lights (because they don’t understand the light controls?) or with one or both headlights aimed at the ground just a few feet ahead of their car from hitting a bump or a minor accident. Sometimes one or both headlights will be pointed too high. Other times, drivers have their brights on purposefully because their low beams are burned out, or perhaps for their own benefit.

    It is a complex issue that I can see only getting worse in the future. Social consciousness needs to become a thing in America.












  • In the US, if a package is correctly addressed to you but you did not order it (unsolicited merchandise), you may legally keep it as a promotional gift. If a package is addressed to another person and simply misdelivered, you’re ethically and legally obligated to make an attempt to return it.

    The rule allowing recipients to keep unsolicited merchandise in the United States was created to combat deceptive marketing practices. In the mid-20th century, some companies began sending unordered goods—such as books, jewelry, or household items—to consumers and then demanding payment, often implying that failure to return the items constituted acceptance of a purchase. This tactic exploited people who might feel obligated to pay or were unaware that they could refuse the merchandise.

    As for the CSR having difficulty understanding your situation, most low level reps are given little training with a list of common problems and remedies. If your problem isn’t listed, they’re not equipped to respond.
