I'm A Bigot. Are You?

 

Yes, I am a bigot

Currently going through the hassle of fighting unauthorized charges to my credit cards from places where I’ve cancelled my account. Some have been going on for two years. All have one thing in common; the speakers have Indian, like Southeast Asia, accents. Going forward, I will no longer do business with Indians. They join Iranian car dealers and Russian mechanics on my list.

 Does that mean I’m a bigot? Do I care if I am? No more dealing with people with the ethics of a starving piranha

 Hissy Fit

What do the moves by the Trump Administration to restore some common sense to the EPA mean to staff? Short term, these holier than thou environment warriors will need to find real jobs. Good luck!

Emperor Polis has no clothes

President Donald Trump posted on Wednesday that two Democratic governors will not be invited to a bipartisan meeting and dinner next week. Gov. Jared Polis is one of them.

 

“The invitations were sent to ALL Governors, other than two, who I feel are not worthy of being there,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referring to Polis and Governor Wes Moore of Maryland.

 The Blueprint, Econazi Versions

In 2011 Emperor Polis and three other wealthy individuals developed “the blueprint”, a strategy to turn Colorado politics blue. They were successful and continue to further entrench their fellow travelers in the state’s apparatus.

 This same strategy is being used, with modifications, by the radical “environmentalists”.

Having fun

The way sales are negotiated piss off many people. Oh, well.

You get an offer on paper from your manager, the infamous 4 square(Look up in YouTube), and present it to the buyer.

I worked in a store where the desk man’s office was on the 2^nd floor. I was working a deal just under his office and he could hear everything being said.

My customer and her “second baseman” were twenty something Vietnamese. Our initial offer was met with, “You price is too high”.

 Show my shocked face! “No, that is a very fair price. We know we can’t make a lot of money from you Vietnamese”.  Giggles commence.

Now comes the drop. You scratch out the price and write in a slight lower price. Each one that is rejected leads to another lower price. Then I started adding and made the price higher.

“No, no, you go wrong way!”

Do it two more times. Suddenly, she grabs the pen and writes down a figure. Now comes the three step.

“You want to buy this car for that price?”, said in incredulous tone.

Giggles

“When I bring this offer to my boss he will probably fire me”

Giggles

“Okay, I will take him the offer but his office is right up there. Stay alert; he may throw me over the railing”.

More giggles

At the desk Dan is laughing. Two visiting wholesalers there are also laughing. He then chews me out loud enough for the customer to hear down below.

 Going back down, I have an offer with a “courtesy bump”, probably some uneven number like $4162.76, and make the deal.

 So everybody is laughing but me because I’m terribly worried about getting fired and must stay in character.

 Rudy Russo was my idol.

About car sales. I was usually tops in monthly sales. That wasn’t my goal. My goal was to be tops in gross profit. People would ask me my “secret”.  “No, if I tell you it won’t be a secret”. What made me successful were two things.

1.    Attitude. People come to a car lot to buy a car. Let them!

2.    I can make almost anyone like me for 45 minutes.

As always, YMMV
