No, that's the greedy part.

The Pinto wasn't any more or less safe than any other small car of its era, statistically. That memo looked really bad for the company when it came out, but the car itself was not unusually dangerous for the time.

Wasnt that RJ Reynolds? At one time, Camel was the no. 1 doctor recommended cigarette.

They do seem like they were more professional back then.

Are they also going to resuscitate their ‘80s-style freshly prepared/not frozen dough?

Oh, sure, GM gets to plead their case on this one, but tell people that you only served them non-diseased meat from diseased animals and everyone start lawyering up.

New GM has been picking up Old GM ways for some time now.

Give it time, station wagons from the ‘50s and ‘60s have really jumped in value, partly because so few family cars survive.

Its a lot smaller than the Challenger.

Probably, people are only going to keep getting more and more nostalgic for the cars that were around when they were kids.

Given the history of the site, yeah, at least some if it probably did.

The color of the ruins, mainly. Thats what I'll go by.

Well, I'll be going past it twice tomorrow, will have to look and see how far the wasteland of ash and twisted metal extends now.

Well, none of the current infrastructure is, but there has been some form of oil refining going on at that location for 150 years.

You have to pay for the next delivery off of what you make from selling what you have now. If the next shipment is going to cost more, you have to raise prices in advance to cover it.

I suppose you can always uncap a few dormant shale wells or pressure the Saudis to pump more, but if there’s not enough refining capacity, all the extra crude in the world is useless.

6/21/19

Well, the supply just got restricted, and I don't believe demand has changed.

6/21/19

Historical/cultural reasons, probably. The local government doesnt want them removed.

Im familiar with the size of the complex, but looking at the video, it's amazing that it's still operating, even at a reduced level. The damage has to be massive.

Basically, you'd be flushing 1/4 million down the drain. Maybe it might make sense for some educational/charitable organization to do it purely to guarantee further preservation or something.
