  • I do security as a volunteer for a children’s organization on the weekends. There absolutely are kids that need to be taken away from their parents and evaluated by a medical professional. Currently we have a kid that is 4 years old that is worse than any adult I have ever encountered. Violent, abusive, foul mouthed, and just disgusting. I have met both parents and all of his siblings and I never would have guessed that this kid would be the outcome of that family. It’s hard to know what goes on behind closed doors but sometimes intervention is needed even if it is at an ER. Without a doubt, their entire family would benefit from this kids removal from that family.














  • I have worked with buyers at Best Buy that negotiate these “deals”. The manufacturers will create a near identical version of a higher quality product, but the model number will be a sub-model (like -a). When uninformed consumers are bargain shopping for a deal they will see that the “same” model is more expensive elsewhere and think they are getting a deal. This sub-model product will have cheaper components and fewer features and a higher product margin.

    Some of these products would have very high failure rates but the companies still keep doing this because it helps to push their extended warranties. Then people buy them even when they buy higher quality products because they remember the failure on the other one.

    Long story short, don’t shop on Black Friday for deals in electronics.
