So you cut and pasted an old FDR quote taken out of context, a man who you probably despise, and you think that’s a good argument?

You’ve got enough of a barrage of the expected anti-union replies so I’ll chime in to support you’re message. It’s funny that many of the same folks who deplore any form of gun control because “the 2nd Amendment allows citizens to keep government in check” against some real or imagine erosion of our rights does not…

I see you got all the ‘but this is America’ responses already like without any pressure, companies don’t/wouldn’t walk back as much as they could. Just because there are safety regulations in no way guarantees them in perpetuity. Businesses and the right have been chipping at the edges of what we have accomplished in…

I’d rather see them be employed in a safe working environment. Rather, I’d like to see them not being exploited. This blatant disregard for safety is the shit that leads to Bangladesh factory collapse that killed hundreds of people a few years back.

And yet VW has got away with ignoring the EPA for about a decade now, and was only caught by a university. Yeah, the EPA is real powerful.

For gods sake, if you’re going to talk about history please include a date! Its kinda important. Also thank you for including it.

The whole system they use is flawed. When both “my iPhone takes a couple minutes to connect via bluetooth” and “the torque converter became a bingo roller” are equally weighted as a reliability defect, I lose faith in the accuracy of their report.

Science is NEVER settled, and the debate of science is NEVER over.

Oh look..the people who actually produced that graph shit on the Forbes article..

Your referring to the Koch paid fool, James Taylor. His latest rubish on this topic has been once again, rebutted here:

Exactly, usually zero percent is accompanied by lower cash-back incentives, so you are paying ‘interest’ in the form of a higher purchase price.

Tesla still isn’t profitable. It’s easy to build an uncompromised vehicle when you have no compromises to make to hit a target that will actually support a business model. Tesla had a loss of $338 million over last six months, and their losses have been steadily increasing.

Most people accelerate way too fast.

The circumstances were largely not what people think they were. The “Pinto memo” was actually a reference to NHTSA specification, not an internal Ford c/b analysis. Scroll down to the heading “Schwarz paper”.

They were encouraged to do so by the NTHSA, which at the time deferred to the automakers on production costs and let them make that choice. Not that it isn’t a shitty way to approach production cost calculations, but Ford were not entirely to blame for this attitude.

Except they later proved that the gas tank in the Pinto was no more or less unsafe than anything else built at that time.

The turbo engines are just fine, you just need to look at your driving style. 1/4 throttle in an old V6 may be 70 lb-ft where as 1/4 throttle in a DI turbo I4 may be 120+ lb-ft. You don’t realize how much faster you’re accelerating because you’re driving the same way in a new quiet car.

I have a Fiesta 1 liter. If I…

Fool, if only he have had Neil deGrasse Peele talk to the EPA everything would have been fine.

so, here’s a brilliant idea, DON’T WALK NEAR CENTRAL PARK OR MSG? It’s not like there aren’t thousands of other streets that could be used besides the 84 blocks the city is shutting down.

This just looks ridiculous.
