Editorial on California Automobile Repair Act burdens repair shops
The piece argues the repair act requiring written estimates creates unnecessary delays for customers and shops. It suggests limiting the rule to repairs above a set amount, such as 75 or 100 dollars, and says only the legislature should implement such a change. Until then owners should expect delays or request estimates to avoid surprise charges.

It muses that this capitalist decadence could be copied, but notes no Soviet political campaigns exist to amplify the issue. It oddballs the vegetarian candidate line.
