When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...

ReplyDeleteI don't know that I would deem this something worthy of jail time. It's a case of false advertising and polluting, which I don't think have ever been offenses that demanded someone go to prison, be it by a company or an individual. Paying for damages, however, most certainly. I would also agree with taking some sort of measure to ensure that the punishment goes to those at the top who made the decision. I just don't think that measure requires jail time in this instance.
ReplyDeleteBrad D This is fraud, plain and simple. VW lied to its customers in order to sell them cars it knew were substandard and specifically engineered products to circumvent regulatory monitoring. And, by doing so, it created emissions that lead to and exacerbate potentially serious, if not fatal, health problems. If that doesn't warrant jail time for whomever approved the program, I don't know what would (short of outright murder).
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle you said it! It's fraud, and I am 99% certain it's mail and wire fraud to boot. Lock 'em up and award triple damages!
ReplyDeleteFor certain, this coming fine against the company will break records. I've already said that I think all owners should have the option of free repair or full refund of MSRP due to the blatant deception. If you want to keep the car because you like it, great! If you feel ripped off that you didn't get what you paid for, refund time!
ReplyDeleteVery good
