The decision to recall the trailers would be best for the Company and for society as a whole. When adding the pros and cons of doing nothing about this new found manufacturing flaws in the trailers, the cons out weighs the pros. With out a recall the company will see a 12,000,000-dollar increase in insurance premiums alone, with the loss of business and legal fees the business can potentially go under. The effects on society are even greater. With an estimated risk of 22 deaths that has the potential affected hundreds of people in society.
Distracted driving is the primary cause of collisions, high insurance rates, serious injuries and even deaths while driving. With the invention of driverless vehicles, the world’s roadways will be safer for all. They will lower or even eliminate the need for auto insurance and greatly reduce the need for petroleum based products. Modern technology and humans operating a vehicle are not compatible. Primarily, utilizing a cellular phone while driving has been the root cause of many vehicular injuries and deaths.
America’s primary goal is national security and when thousands of illegal immigrants travel into the U.S. each year, any one of those illegal immigrants could have plans to wreak havoc on this country. Gang members could be affiliated with terrorist groups who have ill-intentions for America, jeopardizing public safety (I’d rather my pink Caddy not have bullet holes in it). Along with the violence, illegal immigrants take jobs away from legal residence (right about here is where I ran out of stuff to say so I B.S.-ed it to make it longer, just bein’ honest). It’s proven that illegal immigrants are more likely to do lower paying jobs that involve more labor than legal Americans, but in the long run those jobs would be filled by previously un-employed citizens. This would strengthen America’s economy in the long run and reduce how much the government pays out to
I think it should not be lowered because there is already enough accident with drinking and driving, let alone being 18 and not making the right decisions. If the legal drinking age was dropped down I think the increase in accident will go up because since your 18 you will think that just because you had a couple of sips its okay to go out and drive. Another reason the legal drinking age shouldnt be lowered is because of peer pressure in our society today. Most of the things teens do that could get them in to serious trouble is because of peer pressure. Peer pressure is the leading cause of most incidents today.
Jim Gilchrist, MBA, CPA, Founder and President of The Minuteman Project, in an Aug. 26, 2005 speech titled “The Crushing Economic Burden of Illegal Immigration” said, “I’ve tried to figure out the costs since I have this tax background. What is the cost to each of us as taxpayers to support 30 million illegal aliens, many of whom are working in the underground economy and not contributing to the tax system? And yet they’re using the system that bona fide taxpayers provide and pay for…” (Gilchrist) United States immigration policy has, with a wink and a nod, encouraged the growth of a low rate sector that is supplied to a large degree by unauthorized workers. Perhaps employers and consumers are benefitting, but as citizens, Americans are abetting the growth of an underprivileged class. Research shows that between 40 and 50 percent of wage loss among low skilled Americans is due to the immigration of low skilled workers.
Non-violent crimes should just be a punishable fine because it saves money for the United States and the federal prisons in the United States. Non-violent crimes in America are rising rapidly and non-violent criminals are being sent to federal prisons or jails for a stupid reason. Like for an example many people are being arrested and sent to prison for selling drugs now how is this a violent crime? Drugs are illegal in America but it’s not really hurting our country right now. The main thing that is hurting our country right now is violence, when you read the news about Chicago they had more murders then the soldiers in Iraq due to gang violence.
If the company continues to loose billions of dollars year after year adjustments need to be made somewhere, so the concentration should be put in the plants that are successful and slow production in the lagging plants or just simply close down. Second I would choose to reduce the SUV and truck lines because of the high gas prices throughout the country simply because the smaller cars would be more gas efficient, more cost efficient, and a lot of money being lost through the lack of being able to sell the expensive SUV’s which also doubles in cost to fill up and drive on a daily basis. Most Americans are buying the smaller cars because of the recession or the public opinion that we are in a recession. Third, would be to go ahead and sell the premium automobile group to somebody that would be able to make use and profit off of the lack of sales year after year. Cars like Jaguar and especially Aston Martins which are one of the most expensive cars in the world, don’t really sell on a large scale in the US except for the wealthy percentage of the population, so selling the premium automobile group should be a good business decision especially since the PAG group doesn’t fit the way Ford intended their business to be operated.
After the takeover, traders believed that the share prices of VW would not hold their current levels and would eventually drop, so they started short selling the stock hoping that they will make profit when prices go down at the time when they buy the shares back at the lower price. Porsche, on the other hand, Porsche bought cash settled options representing 31.5% of the shares outstanding in addition to its 42.6% stake in the company shares (up from 35.14% in September 2008) contributing to the stability of the share price. 2. What did Porsche gain from it? Porsche made a huge financial profit from the increase in the stock price when short sellers had to buy back shares to cover their position.
Gun control does not work for many reasons such as ; it gives criminals more confidence (Smith) , limits the the civilians ability to protect themselves, and in the end is a direct cause of an increase in violent crime. With this being said, gun control is ineffective in England due to a large increase in violent crime since the laws have been implemented. There are many types of guns. They are classified by how they look and operate. There are three main types: handguns, shotguns, and rifles (Agresti).
The ‘war on drugs’ has become a harsh and unnecessary measure that frankly costs American taxpayers far too much money. If the type of imprisonment suffered by nonviolent offenders is now deemed cruel and unusual, does the punishment really fit the crime? This is the question American citizens must ask themselves as they consider how far they must go in order to keep drug use and abuse under control. One of the many effects of the severe penalties for drug use is unjust incarceration. The average citizen may correctly point out that everyone has the right to due process and therefore innocent people are not simply sentenced to prison.
