I’d like for the record to show I’m no longer an insurance agent and have started a new career as a priest.

I don't know if it's that people just can't handle anymore stress(especially financially) or if people are just no longer mentally equipped enough for stress. Or if it's just a combination of the two. I feel like most days I'm better than good, and then some days I'm seriously a bad day away from going into a deep depression.

There was a time I’d recommend you keep fighting the good fight, one day at a time, but I like to think I’ve gained a little wisdom over the years.

You probably need to talk to someone. Life throws us all curveballs, and that one bad day could be a really bad day beyond what you could have ever expected or anticipated.

We think we have a good grasp on things, and we can handle the bad days. Then….. one of those bad days is a giant challenge. That’s when things can spin out of control if we’re just hanging on.

There’s too many good days left for us all. Don’t let a bad day ruin those good ones.

I think it’s a huge combination of things. Everything from a loss of God as the center of our lives to dyes and colorings in our foods destroying our mental state to constant 24/7 state propaganda causing as much chaos and division as possible.

But most importantly IMO is the invention of the smart phone and smart TV destroyed our ability to simply sit quietly for a few minutes and process. Every second you are awake is filled the max with stimulus until you crash into sleep. Our brains have become like max stretched rubber that is never given a chance to relax and reset.

Our entire society seems to be perched on the edge of a knife for the last 20 years. There’s no middle anymore. Everyone swings from massive highs to lows like a bipolar schizophrenic.

I think the next decade is going to be wild as we enter the a full generation and majority of society who from childhood never knew peace of mind, never knew a healthy diet, demand immediate satisfaction in all things, constantly compare themselves and judge their happiness based on a social media facade, and have the attention span of a goldfish.

They’re lucky he didn’t get out and start shooting the people who sold him the car.

People have gotten tired of being screwed over. I think people understand risk, but they also understand good business practices and the whole believing in the good of others stuff - when that is shattered and they become cynical, things get sporty.

We are going to see a return to smaller, more personal business with good customer service, IMO.

Sandy, Utah—A man tried returning a faulty car to the dealership, but they refused since it was sold “as is.”


Thus the way used, out of warranty, vehicles are sold. You sign to the fact that you are purchasing without a warranty. Nothing keeps you from looking it over and getting a mechanics opinion on it.. but a dealer doesn’t hide that it is sold “as is”. Hell… he was probably offered a third party warranty but he refused.

If most men actually had a clue now how the combustion engine works in these days, you could find problems and walk away from them. Do the fluids look and smell normal.. proper level.. sounds… smells… do the shifts feel right.. timing chain noise… any leaking fluids on the underside… oil spots on the rear bumper showing oil leaking underneath and blowing on the back of the vehicle… do the panels align properly all over the car… different shades of paint when looked at in the sun..etc etc etc…

Don’t blame a stupid purchase on the dealership.. blame your own ignorance.
