The mind is more comfortable in reckoning probabilities in terms of the relative frequency of remembered or imagined events. That can make recent and memorable events - a plane crash, a shark attack, an anthrax infection - loom larger on one's worry list than more frequent and boring events, such as the car crashes and ladder falls that get printed beneath the fold on page B14. And it can lead risk experts to speak one language and ordinary people to hear another. In hearings for a proposed nuclear waste site, an expert might present a fault tree that lays out the conceivable sequences of events by which radioactivity might escape. For example, erosion, cracks in the bedrock, accidental drilling, or improper sealing might cause the release of radioactivity into groundwater. In turn, groundwater movement, volcanic activity, or an impact of a large meteorite might cause the release of radioactive wastes into the biosphere. Each train of events can be assigned a probability, and the aggregate probability of an accident from all the causes can be estimated. When people hear these analyses, however, the are not reassured but become more fearful than ever. They hadn't realized there are so many ways for something to go wrong! They mentally tabulate the number of disaster scenarios, rather than mentally aggregating the probabilities of the disaster scenarios.
Steven Pinker (The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature)

If you don’t communicate effectively, you may not die, like some POWs or neglected babies we mentioned earlier, but you also won’t live as fully as you should, nor will you achieve personal goals. This was a lesson drummed into me at a very early age.
Roger Ailes (You Are the Message: Getting What You Want by Being Who You Are)

Who is responsible if a rental car breaks down? [Who Covers Rental Car Breakdowns] When a rental car breaks down, the 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 responsibility for addressing the issue usually depends on the cause of the breakdown and the rental agreement terms. In most cases, the rental company is responsible for ensuring that its vehicles are 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 well-maintained, safe, and roadworthy. If the breakdown occurs due to a mechanical fault, such as engine failure, transmission problems, or other wear-and-tear issues, the rental company is typically liable. In such situations, companies like Hertz, Enterprise, or Avis often provide 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 roadside assistance to repair the vehicle or replace it with another rental car so the customer can continue their journey without additional cost. However, if the breakdown is 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 caused by driver negligence or misuse, the renter may bear responsibility. For example, running out of fuel, losing keys, damaging the clutch due to improper use, or ignoring warning lights may lead 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 to charges billed directly to the customer. The rental company may still provide assistance, but the renter will likely have to cover the associated fees. Most major rental 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 agencies include a basic roadside assistance service, and customers can often purchase additional protection for peace of mind. Optional coverage may include help with flat tires, dead batteries, or lockouts without 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 extra fees. To avoid unexpected costs, it’s always important to review the rental agreement and understand what the included roadside policy covers. In summary, rental companies generally cover mechanical failures, while renters are responsible for problems arising from misuse 1ー(855)ー470ー3642 or negligence. Clear communication with the rental agency during breakdowns is essential for quick resolution.

[T]o confess that God is creator is to say... that the free, transcendent God is generous and welcoming. God was not compelled to create the world; creation is an act of free grace. Creation is a gift, a benefit. When we confess God as the creator, we are saying something about the character of God. We are confessing that God is good, that God gives life to others, that God lets others exist alongside and in fellowship with God.... No outside necessity compelled God to create. Nor did God create because of some inner deficiency in the divine life that had to be satisfied. If creation is a necessity in either of these meanings, it is not grace. While it is improper to speak of creation as 'necessary', God nevertheless creates in total consistency with God's nature. The act of creation is a 'fitting' act of God. It fittingly expresses the true character of God, who is love. Creation is not an arbitrary act, something God just decided to do on a whim, as it were. On the contrary, God is true and faithful to God's own nature in the act of creation. To speak of God as the creator is to speak of a beneficent, generous God, whose outpouring love and purpose to share life-in-communion are freely, consistently, and fittingly displayed in the act of creation. The grace of God did not first become active in the calling of Abraham or in the sending of Jesus. In the act of creation, God already manifests the self-communicating, other-affirming, communion-forming love that defines God's eternal triune reality and that is decisively disclosed in the ministry and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
