2 Rude Questions

[Willem Blees]

2 rude?answers?

Insurance is in case of an accident, not in case they screw up. If the post office looses a package, they are responsible. But if the package gets stolen, or the truck carrying the package gets in an accident, then they are not responsible.?

As far as the gold is concerned, it's called supply and demand. The people who have the gold need income. The people buying the gold have the money to buy it. If you didn't need the money, you won't need to sell it, and the people who are buying it wouldn't be offering to buy it from you.?

Subject: 2 Rude Questions



The first rude question is related to our business, or any business actually: Today I mailed out some of the tools I recently sold on the list. The postal clerk wanted to know if I want to buy insurance. Question: Since I am paying them to safely convey said packages, why the heck should?I have to pay more in case THEY lose them or break them??Maybe we should start charging our customers?an extra amount to cover any possible callbacks we get because we left a mute in the action, or forgot to replace a pedal rod, or something, hm? A little screw-up insurance for OUR trade.

?

Second impertinent question: I keep hearing ads from companies companies?selling gold ... you know, "Now is the time to buy", "Gold is a great investment", etc. My question is, if gold is such a great thing to buy and hold, why are these people so anxious to sell it?? Seems like a fair question, to me.
