It's an BAN on BLACK GUNS...... er..... "Assault" GUNS...... er....... 1500 GUNS that LOOK BAD....... almost all of which were owned without a single problem by anyone for DECADES..... all b/c some CRAZED LUNATIC dressed up as a RCMP Officer (Cop) and went around & shot 13 people with hand guns while burning another 9 in their homes. It's for your PROTECTION........ there is also the STRONG Possibility the guy was either an Undercover RCMP Officer or a Undercover Informant.......... The JOKE er......

YET the GUN MAN as with 99.9% of GUN CRIME in Canada used a HANDGUN (one of the Hand Guns was taken from a RCMP Officer that he shot & killed btw). This is the same MORE ON that said "Forgive me if I don't think about Monetary Policy" No REALLY as he more than DOUBLED the NATIONAL DEBT in less than 18 months with close to SFA to show for it. I should also mention that this INCOMPETENT BUFFOON also said "The Budget will Balance itself....." a few years ago as well as "There is something I admire about China and their Dictatorship......." He then won an election with just 32% of the Vote & claims a MAJORITY of CANADIANs have given him a "Mandate" forgetting that the other 68% VOTED AGAINST HIM In short........

Talk about misuse of the term gaslighting! Do you even have a clue what it means? Still true about only taking a couple weeks to flatten the curve, except in America at least, people are dead set against taking any concerted action to do so and will actively work to do just the opposite. Just look at the 2020 holiday season and the predictable spike in deaths following. US hit 3400 daily deaths. After the holidays, by simply being stupid instead of insanely stupid that rate has fallen to 700 per day. That number could easily plummet if American made the choice to lower it.

Over 3,000,000 people die each year in the US, and is steadily rising each year as the population ages... It has also been stated that roughly 10% of covid cases and deaths in the US were not covid at all, and were classified as covid to get the extra funding that was attached to it... Also when 80% of covid deaths have at least 2 comorbidities, that should be your clue that it's not as bad... If I'm in a hospital with diabetes, and lung cancer but then get covid and die, was it really covid that killed me?

From the book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" rule #4 "consistency” - once people make a choice or take a stand, they encounter personal and interpersonal pressures to behave consistently with that commitment.

My father was a salesman, and when you grow up around someone who specializes in sales, you become immune to their little tricks. :P

[@tiffanysketches]

Ha! I wish! My dad would add ketchup to spaghetti sauce and then try to convince us it was good. Or try to convince my mom she wanted a cheap knock off product instead of the real thing to save money. Also, he gave us the run down when we were little and had to do those school fundraisers. :P Give him credit though, I've always done incredibly well in job interviews and never had a hard time up selling when I needed to.

[@tiffanysketches]

***** Most sales are commissioned based. Meaning you get paid better if you make a sale, or incentive based if you sell over a certain amount. It's standard business model, which is why you should never fully trust a salesman. At the same time, it's really rare for a salesman to sell you a lemon, so if you like a product, just enjoy it. The most common sales tactic is just up selling a little and you see that all the time: "Hey, you're getting this, would you like this accessory to go with it?". You can't just successfully sell a product by placing it on a shelf and not telling anyone about it, so salesmen and marketers are vital to any company. Just see the game for what it is. It's not inherently bad.

Indeed, start with a small pinch in order to prepare them to accept a big pinch. Oh, and never forget that a "sweetener" line and a "this is a gift" line can go a long way too. In this example; "Hope you liked the drive carefully sign the roading people gave you to use. How would you like a slightly larger one that also matches the color of your house and brings color to the neighborhood?" I've spent time in Taumarunui, New Zealand for a while now, and the folk there are really catching on.
