Good afternoon, kids! The word of the day is `Caveat emptor`:
- “Another way to say, “let the buyer beware.”“
- “In other words, consumers need to know their rights and be vigilant in avoiding scams.“
- “–noun: let the buyer beware: the principle that the seller of a product cannot be held responsible for its quality unless it is guaranteed in a warranty.“
- “n. The axiom or principle in commerce that the buyer alone is responsible for assessing the quality of a purchase before buying.“

Now, kids: When people get burned by a bad deal, can that person get the money back?
- For example, a gifted Native sold `zapping products` to clean the blood. Several people reported burns by that contraption. The seller tells the purchasers: `Go to hell! It’s your fault.`
- In another example, a fat blob from overseas took money that hasn’t been repaid. Several people (from Hawaii, Kentucky, etc.) posted their reports online, which can be Googled. The borrower(s) tell(s) the suckers: `Go to hell! It’s your loss.`
Children: Tell me. Who is at fault here – the fool or the fooled? Who will go to hell – the arrogant or meek?
The bigger question is: Will the government and authorities care to help? The answer is in the negative!
