The GM problems were in design, which is different. But it doesn't make much difference to the families of the dead people. People are rightly furious at GM and swearing to never buy their cars again.
American and European cars' build quality has gone up hugely in the past 20 years due to automation. Humans are barely involved in chassis assembly or any welding anymore. I have to imagine that these Chinese cars will involve a lot more human labor and will resemble American cars from the 80s.
if they can't get it, then the next thing this congressman should bring up is "why the heck are we funding the NSA if they don't actually seem to do anything?"
The NSA is not tasked with backing up everyone's email. Why would they be expected to do that?
That doesn't make any sense. Why would Europeans even think about going to American schools if the ones in their "civilized countries" are so much better?
The rate of US car fatalities has plummeted 75% over the past 45 years, largely due to government mandates and the NHTSA. The hundreds of thousands of people who are alive today because of those actions probably don't consider it "nonsense".
Various oil companies have used varying degrees of 'private contractors' to intimidate, harass, murder, and otherwise mistreat the locals if they got in the way of exploration
Blaming the evil Democrats makes a nice scapegoat. The data says otherwise. But when have Republicans ever cared about data?
"While Republican primary turnout spiked by 28 percent over 2012, according to the State Board of Elections, Cantor received nearly 8,500 fewer votes this year than he did in the 2012 Republican primary, a drop that was larger than Brat's 7,200-vote margin of victory. Regardless of how many Democrats turned out to oppose Cantor, he still would have prevailed had he maintained the same level of support as in his 2012 landslide.
If Democrats showed up in large numbers to vote against Cantor, turnout should have spiked highest from 2012 in Democratic-leaning areas, with Cantor seeing an especially large drop-off in support. In fact, turnout rose slightly more in counties that voted more heavily for Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election."
No. Actually incompetence and corporate greed have been pretty constant for a few hundred years.
Maybe they seem new to you because you just started paying attention. Some of us actually read our History textbooks when they covered Standard Oil and the Dutch East India Company.

The way that you assemble those parts can be very import for safety and reliability.

He's saying that you can't get into an in-car-map-aid related accident if your car does not have in-car-map-aids.
Yeah. But what does that have to do with any of the previous posts?
That doesn't make any sense. Why would Europeans even think about going to American schools if the ones in their "civilized countries" are so much better?
I could see it being fun for kids in a neighborhood, but I have trouble taking it seriously otherwise.
True. But I'll bet those kids could find a much more fun way to spend $850.
Was that supposed to make sense? Because it did not.
Then why are American schools full of Europeans?
It's weird how Libertarians never cite any data to support their statements.

I've been driving a Leaf for a year and it's the best car I've ever owned. It's very "usable" right now.
No. That's a pretty famous story. Is the show good?
You can't copy someone else's exact implementation and sell it as your own. You can reverse engineer.
If it wasn't for legal reverse engineering, most of us would be sitting in front of $2000 IBM PCs.
Why would hedge fund managers collude? The whole point is to get in front of everyone else.
Said no one ever.

Citation on the murder part?
The establishment favorites had won almost every primary before this one.
Baby Boomers are retiring and their parents are often living into their 90s. Of course labor participation is falling.

It’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
If this doesn't work out, I can't see HP staying in business as an independent company.
The British East India Company had a standing army of 280,000 men.
Please cite examples of a big company murdering people with impunity in the last 20 years.
I'm amazed that a head-mounted video camera has been banned from a venue that previously had a ban on video cameras. Same story with casinos.
How many CEOs today have a standing army that report directly to them, which can murder people with impunity?
Because that used to be a thing.
