Don't Be Attacked By Criminals Posing As Comcast Techs
Heck, I think I've owned a couple of cars that doubled in value simply by having a full gas tank...
Got A Good 'Drip Pricing' Story? The FTC Wants To Hear From You
All cable operators, cellphone companies, telecommunications services, and all new and used car dealers. That ought to cover it...
Report: Judges Collect More Than $1 Million In Traffic Fines By Calling Them 'Court Costs'
Proving, once again, it's all about revenue collection, not public safety.

Does Your Windshield Installer Actually Know What They're Doing?
Safelite is awful. USAA has tricked me into using them twice; never again. The first time, they just left a note claiming they'd fixed it when in fact no repair was done. I had to call their Safelite's regional office and complain to a surly supervisor to get the work done. The second time, on a different vehicle, they repaired the chip but it continued to crack despite their "industry leading epoxy".
I guess there was a third time, also. We bought a used car from another USAA member who had the windshield replaced by Safelite. The wind noise at 40+mph is almost unbearable.
USAA doesn't seem to do a good job policing some of their "preferred providers" (Enterprise, I'm looking at you, too). YMMV, of course...

Google's Self-Driving Cars Get License To Cruise Nevada's Highways And Byways
Good point. It's the insurance companies, not the technology, who will ultimately decide the fate of "driverless cars" through economic pressures.

What Sian said. Always make the revenue collectors work for it if at all possible...and support the NMA, too:
UPS And UPS Store Awaken Reader's Inner Groomzilla
Your position is perfectly logical...but will fail every time it is used to try to get a car manufacturer to resolve an issue with one of "their" dealers. They will trot out the "independent franchisee, we don't control them" argument every time.
American Airlines Regrets That Whole Lifetime First Class Pass Thing
The continued popularity of "reality" shows would seem to serve as an existence proof for your corollary.

Perhaps "Kelly" is a pseudonym for "S. Larson"...
