    Not a single head of any of the car makers who participated in the rigging of diesel car emissions testing went to jail.

    Diesel car emssions are thought to kill around 10000 people per year in Europe (not all of which the excess emissions resulting from the rigging, but part of it).

    Not even human lives are more important than the wishes of the car lobby for european politicians.

        The really shocking bit, however, is how our supposed representatives will help them out.

    To be fair, stuff like the GDPR is probably not in the lobby’s best interests, so they do bring good regulation too

        I think ruining things is just their whole identity, but tbh, of all the things they’ve ruined, triple brackets is pretty low on the list.

        RIP to all your apparent Internet communications that people have taken as weirdly out of place anti-semitism though
