What a shock…yahoos cause problems…again…who knew?

Interesting how NHTSA finding that 27 deaths btwn 1970-1977 in rear-impact crashes for Ford Pintos that then burst into flames moved the needle then, but 3,000 today is not enough.

One may reasonably conclude that small penis size is the underlying cause.

Good article, but it's annoying how it's written as if the NYT discovered this problem.

I have thought about this for decades now. I drive a Prius and used to have a Leaf, so I’ve seen the grill of a thousand large vehicles from the drivers seat, and it’s scary to imagine them just plowing into my car.

At least the danger is finally being recognised.🙄

blame the people buying them, they’re paying money knowing they’re increasing their chance of killing people

Because those deaths aren’t real to them but their paychecks and the numbers on spreadsheets are. Pretty easy to focus on the upsides for You when the downsides are abstract hypotheticals you never need to confront or think about. That’s why the consequences imposed need to be direct and severe.

This alternative curriculum has way, way more money behind it than any public school or even federal grants for higher education

Old enough to remember when the Ford Pinto design was a scandal and an indictment of the business ethics of American corporate culture. Altogether the fuel tank design was responsible for 27 deaths.
