Q&A: Could the Mn I-35W bridge collapse occur due to added stress by 4 lanes being used to take on 8 lanes traffic
Question by felixnovak80: Could the Mn I-35W bridge collapse occur due to added stress by 4 lanes being used to take on 8 lanes traffic
At the time of the Mn I-35W bridge collapse, 4 lanes of the 8 lanes were under repair and closed off to traffic. This imposed a stress factor increased by diverting all bridge traffic formally using 8 lanes to 4 lanes.

Consumer Bill of Rights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Before the mid-twentieth century, consumers were without rights with regard to their interaction with products and commercial producers. Consumers had little ground on which to defend themselves against faulty or defective products, or against misleading or deceptive advertising methods.
By the 1950’s, a movement called consumerism began to gather a following, pushing for increased rights and legal protection against malicious business practices. By the end of the decade, legal product liability had been established in which an aggrieved party need only prove injury by use of a product, rather than bearing the burden of proof of corporate negligence.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy presented a speech to the United States Congress in which he extolled four basic consumer rights, later called The Consumer Bill of Rights.

[edit] The Four Basic Rights
While later expanded, the original six basic beliefs of consumer protection are the most widely recognized.
[edit] The Right to Be Safe
The assertion of this right is aimed at the defense of consumers against injuries caused by products other than automobile vehicles, and implies that products should cause no harm to their users if such use is executed as prescribed. Established in 1972 by the US federal government, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has jurisdiction over thousands of commercial products, and powers that allow it to establish performance standards, require product testing and warning labels, demand immediate notification of defective products, and, when necessary, to force product recall.
[edit] The Right to Choose Freely
The right to free choice among product offerings states that consumers should have a variety of options provided by different companies from which to choose. The federal government has taken many steps to ensure the availability of a healthy environment open to competition through legislation including limits on concept ownership through Patent Law, prevention of monopolistic business practices through Anti-Trust Legislation, and the outlaw of price cutting and gouging.
[edit] The Right to Be Heard
This right asserts the ability of consumers to voice complaints and concerns about a product in order to have the issue handled efficiently and responsively. While no federal agency is tasked with the specific duty of providing a forum for this interaction between consumer and producer, certain outlets exist to aid consumers if difficulty occurs in communication with an aggrieving party. State and federal Attorney Generals are equipped to aid their constituents in dealing with parties who have provided a product or service in a manner unsatisfactory to the consumer in violation of an applicable law. Also, the Better Business Bureau is a national non-governmental organization whose sole agenda is to provide political lobbies and action on behalf of aggrieved consumers.
[edit] The Right to Be Informed
This right states that businesses should always provide consumers with enough appropriate information to make intelligent and informed product choices. Product information provided by a business should always be complete and truthful. Aiming to achieve protection against misleading information in the areas of financing, advertising, labeling, and packaging, the right to be informed is protected by several pieces of legislation passed between 1960 and 1980.
[edit] The Right to Education
To have access to programs and information that help consumers make better marketplace decisions.
[edit] The Right to Service
To convenience, to be treated with courtesy and respect, to responsiveness to needs and problems and to refuse any services offered.
[edit] Advertising
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (1975) requires that a producer provide a warranty stating the standards of performance that the product will be held responsible to meet, and allows that warranty to be either stated explicitly or implied. With respect to advertising standards and consumer interaction with commercial producers, over forty US states have enacted “cooling-off” legislation that permits consumers to change their minds about the purchase of a product when dealing directly with a salesperson.
[edit] Financing
Before the passage of legislation providing protection against such injustices, the actual costs associated with loans were often hidden and near impossible for the avera

Concerning the Chinese products recall, could this be a plot to destroy the minds of children with lead?
Question by sbg0803: Concerning the Chinese products recall, could this be a plot to destroy the minds of children with lead?
The majority of these toy products are aimed toward infants to 3rd grade. Lead is a dangerous substance in cognitive development. Most young children have many of these toys and are therefore exposed. We all know that many of these toys wind up in their mouths.
It would be so easy to quietly slip any dangerous substance into these products and claim innocence when caught.
This could have possibly destroyed many children’s lives. This generation of children should grow up and become leaders. If their minds are not functioning to full capacity, how will they make good decisions?
Just a thought.

Answer by Uncle Wil
The Chinese Government and their industrial base has VERY LITTLE, to no quality control, do not know, nor care about any health concerns !!!!! ( I speak with some first hand knowledge, read my profile).
The fact that there are so many Chinese products, entering the USA, with out the usual health safety regards, is thanks to Wm. J. Clinton, and his trip to China, while he was President !!!!!!
Now that the import issue has set a precedent for establishing a “standard”, the only way I see for the stoppage of this activity, is for ALL AMERICANS TO REFUSE TO BUY CHINESE PRODUCTS !!!!!!
IF the American RETAILERS HAVE THE CHEAP Chinese PRODUCT/S ON THE SHELVES, FOR AN EXTENDED TIME, THE RETAILERS WILL CEASE TO ORDER, AND STOCK, THEIR PRODUCT/S !!!
Will the American buyer stop buying this, NO, NOT UNTIL THE MESSAGES HIT HOME i.e. THEIR OWN FAMILIES !!!!!!

Yes. If you know the exact design, take it to a good tattoo place and ask them to do it. They may tweak it a bit so that it will look good when it’s actually on you.

If the picture is copyrighted you should not. If the photo center is following the rules it will not sell you a print of a copyrighted picture without a copyright release form signed by the “author and originator” (photographer) of the picture. If you are unsure it is copyrighted, you should try to find out. Even for personal use, it us illegal to copy someones work w/o permission
