      Nah, there’ll be like a junior VP or department head paid to take the fall, and the people that actually signed off will wipe their hands and feign ignorance.

    Welp better stop eating beans and farting for the rest of my life to help do my part and recoup the damages. All this world destroying pollution is my fault as a consumer, not the producers.

            Because they know that if they lie to you and market the right way they can fool you into buying it. Just look at cigarettes.

            Or better yet look at plastic. We need to stop producing plastic. As a consumer unless I literally grow my own food I don’t have any choice but to buy plastic. Literally everything is sold and packaged in plastic. The producers took the system hostage and I don’t have much of a choice as a consumer other then die.

    “Well this is highly surprising!”, said exactly nobody.

    Honestly this should have been expected. It’s baffling that self-reported numbers are taken at face value

      Hahaha, you’re so funny. The emission scandal was about NOx, that’s mostly air pollution and it wasn’t just VW, it was basically any car manufacturer that sold cars with diesel engines.
