...Auto mechanics? better be under warrantee that will be honored, rare to get through car repair without giving an arm, if your a woman a leg too. Can't count the stories of women being fleeced by unscrupulous mechanics.
Contractors? Easy example on my street, Malissa, after being robbed 3 times, and having to chase the guys down the driveway with a machette, she/w my artistic help, sold her shack for 200k and move to a newer house closer to the water.
Now the lady who buys it hires a contractor. He burns her for 100k, sad. She finds another, he burns her for 100k, hmm she's got one now and no matter what he does that house ain't gonna be worth no 400k+...
I completely and whole heartedly disagree with your comments about builders and auto mechanics. But not to be flip, you get what you give. And I am bettign there is more to your neighbors story than the cliff notes presented.
I feel you are promoting prejudice just as much as someone like Dog Chapman. Only your coverage is punaweb not TV and youtube.
I have had people who don't shop at Walmart and only buy organic products with little packaging rip me off way worse this past month than any builder or auto mechanic. So does that make me dislike all manic organics
? Not at all. There are a few bad apples in every bunch. And lots of good organic apples with lots of aloha.
