"The credit bubble had a similar effect on used cars. Zero financing deals turned heads away from used cars and toward new ones. Used car prices fell—and so did this component of the CPI. Together the two items alone—housing and used cars—were responsible for a 1.7 percent drop in core CPI between November 2001 and December 2003. While everyone knows it has become much more expensive to make ends meet, these distortions keep the official CPI low and the gross domestic product (GDP) figures high. (Nominal output is reduced by the official CPI number to give the real GDP figure." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"You can buy used cars at Merrill's Garage; books at the Corner Bookstore; and Iowa Amish baskets and jams at the Screen Door General Store. The celebrated quilters Marianne Fons and Liz Porter run a quilting supply store at 54 Court Avenue, on the south side of Winterset's historic town square. Marianne and Liz host "America's #1 quilting show" Fons & Porters Love of Quilting on public television.

"David continued, "The decision to speak out is just the latest unconventional move for Rost, who has worked as a fashion model, earned a medical degree, written books on surgery and used cars, started a medical advertising agency and, after a successful run at drug maker Wyeth, got demoted for exposing what he contended in a lawsuit was a tax fraud."

Everything I have succeeded in doing in the past sounded nuts." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"What if we used cars, tools, appliances, and workspaces the way we use Laundromats, libraries, gyms, and taxis? What if, in short, PSS can staggeringly improve our quality of life? Design researchers Ezio Man-zini and Francois Jegou have spent years researching a growing number of small, bottom-up community solutions for sharing tools, mobility, community spaces, and knowledge. They put forward the hopeful observation that these kinds of systems are emerging organically within communities, and they encourage designers to shepherd them forward, improving their visibility and effectiveness." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Caveat emptor may be an appropriate slogan for selling used cars or life insurance, but it is not a worthy dictum for health care. In the final analysis, it is not a patient's responsibility to protect himself against the medical profession, it is the profession's responsibility to protect the patient. Doctors have a responsibility to help patients understand their recommendations." - Jerome P. Kassirer, On the Take: How Medicine's Complicity with Big Business Can Endanger Your Health (Get the book.)
