Why in America Common Sense Isn't So Common: Simple Fixes for America's Absurdities examines many everyday issues Americans face. The book covers several topics:
Criminal Justice
The book explores plea deals, government indictments, non-violent offenders, and long sentences. It critiques the system where accused individuals can't speak freely in their defense while accusers can. It questions public announcements of indictments and plea deals, advocating for restorative justice, fair trials, and reduced prosecutorial bias. The book examines prison culture, over-criminalization, mandatory minimum sentences, decriminalizing poverty, and prioritizing victims' perspectives over the government's.
Punitive Finance
The book questions the federal government's role in student loans. It explores how easy student loans drive up university fees and why college tuition isn't tied to graduates' median salaries. The book highlights excessive costs of car towing, hospital parking, and ambulance bills, calling for medical debt exclusion from collection and credit reporting.
Taxes
The book questions whether eliminating the 501(c)(3) loophole would solve many of the world's problems by ending dark money. It also questions why sales tax is levied on used products.
Election
The book critiques illogical district maps. It explores whether it's truly difficult to obtain ID cards. It discusses non-citizens' influence on redistricting and the impact of out-of-state donations on elections.
Affordable Life
The discussion on affordable living highlights high costs of city transportation, banking fees, housing policies, and childcare. It advocates for free city transportation, reducing banking fees, promoting healthy eating through SNAP benefits, and tying home prices to wage growth rates. It supports free childcare, prioritizing families with kids and expecting mothers in parking, transforming schools into one-stop places for parents and children, and allowing parents to choose their kids' schools. It questions high security deposits and healthcare costs.
Immigration
Immigration policies are scrutinized, with suggestions for easing visa processes and addressing fraud. The book questions birthright citizenship, the relevance of H1B visas in remote work, and argues for making non-immigrant visas easier to obtain. It also compares fraud in marriage-based versus employment-based petitions.
Daily Nonsense
Daily nuisances, such as traffic management and customer service, are explored. The book questions why lanes are closed for minor accidents, the complexity of furniture assembly, and climate change advocates who don't clean streets.
Excessive Regulations
The book questions excessive regulations on small businesses, the need for many licenses, and the annual franchise tax, arguing for reducing regulatory burdens to promote entrepreneurship and economic growth.
Social Issues
Finally, the book addresses affirmative action, reparations, flag burning, and government money printing. It questions if affirmative action benefits its intended groups, explores the feasibility of one-time reparations, discusses flag burning acceptability, and critiques unlimited money printing.
Why in America Common Sense Isn't So Common challenges readers to rethink current systems and consider practical, effective reforms. The analysis and recommendations make a compelling case for common-sense solutions to America's absurdities, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in creating a more just society.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
