Businesses in a free market environment face the consequences of their mistakes. Government however does not. Which is why of course people and corporations seek government to protect them from their own mistakes.

The point is that your managers are not able to manage as they say they are. Each intervention then requires further intervention. Either they are incompetent or their goals are something other than what is advertised. That something else could be as little as a jobs program for themselves or something greater.

For…

Democracies work on a tyranny of majority principle but that makes them little different than other tyrannies. But this isn’t even that. This is management of society by bureaucratic expert.

“You forgot the part where decisions were at least partly built on intentionally falsified data from nearly every diesel vehicle manufacturer.”

The encouragement happened long before current standards were implemented. Fuel economy, fuel taxes, registration taxes, etc and so on.

Please show me where government asked the manufacturers instead of told them? What ‘clean’ are you talking about? NOx? Soot? what?

So government first creates a taxation and regulation scheme that encourages diesel powered vehicles then after they become numerous in order to deal with the drawbacks of diesel vehicles government bans them. Makes perfect sense. For morons or those who were looking to increase government power all along.

It’s as if people don’t understand how big government systems work. Of course insiders and those with influence escape taxation and receive taxation. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Now nobody is going to tell you that, but that’s how it’s designed, just look at the money flows for every government program and see…

That’s how it should work, returning the same bill. I haven’t seen a vending machine of any sort where ‘refund’ gave someone anything but what they put in. That’s the real flaw. Although buying a $5 car wash with the pull out $20 would net $15 per cycle so there’s that too.

1986 model year was the first year. Most ‘86 models regardless of what they are or who made them have some sort of grafted on CHMSL. Integration into the designs started immediately there after.

That’s fascinating. Usually the argument is that if there isn’t a strong interventionist government groups Boko Haram would rule over us all.

Then those groups would be the governments and start inventions to protect their interests....

Because the US federal government being the world’s police department has worked out so very well.

It’s simple. Private automobile ownership and usage will be heavily taxed and regulatory costs added until most people cannot afford it. If people persist there will be outright bans in the areas people want to go. Bans which will of course allow for certain corporate players to have exemptions.

that’s pretty much my response as well. Find something. A cone. sweep gravel into the hole. Something.

The evidence speaks for itself as you go from thread to thread replying to me in the same manner.

Ideologue? The projection in you is strong. You’re the one throwing insults because someone doesn’t believe the way you do. You’re the one who keeps doing that thread after thread to who knows how many people. You want me to believe your fairy tales. Sorry, the data indicates otherwise.

Clean? If robot cars are ever forced upon the public or even offered for sale to the public they aren’t even going to be maintained. There will be crashes of sorts nobody but a few people who know better can even think of. That and a lot of stranded people when their robot automobile refuses to do anything and unlike…

Automakers often allocate their ‘special’ cars intentionally to allow dealers to mark them up. They are considered ‘rewards’ for sales volume.

I get the feeling that Nissan Motors angered Uzi into a hardline ‘I won’t sell’ position. The way this has always seemed is that if Nissan wanted the domain they should have made a good faith cash offer from the get go. But they wouldn’t make an offer. They just wanted to get it for approximately nothing. So they sued…

Nissan’s employees messed up right from the get go. They wanted Uzi to put the first number on the table to get it for a lower price.
