  • I’ve had a number of people in my life fall for scams. Its all about people exploiting trust. Victims trusted that what they were saying was true, they didn’t question what was happening enough, and their tactics are designed to stress you out so that you don’t question when they offer you a quick solution.

    I believe that everyone needs to be exposed to this betrayal in some way to learn to recognize it. The mechanic that charges you too much for a repair, the person in a game that scams you out of items, the phishing email that needs you to buy gift cards.

    Talk about scams with others, learn from the stories you hear, and be skeptical when someone presents both the problem and solution.



  • I’m unsure about the safety, but I have replaced several when they failed and I had a terrible sinking feeling. The kits come with a pair of collars that clamp onto the shaft and allow for the seat to be separated from the cylinder. From there, you can flip the wheels upside down and tap the cylinder with a hammer right in the middle of the wheels to remove it.

    Or, and hear me out in this one, if the average is not sustainable they would need to raise the average or lower costs until a balance was reached. By forcing them to play by the very rules that are writing, there is an incentive to make them fair.

    While this may not be there exact way too achieve that, the goal is still a good one to work towards.
