A couple-pound plastic widget is not going to bring down an airliner after a collision, unless it's exceedingly (un)lucky. Large planes can take impact from much bigger objects and keep flying.
... or maybe they have a sense that taxes are a necessary evil. One might feel schadenfreude at the violators due to the former... but also sympathy due to the latter.
"screw the government out of taxable income/revenue"... after all, tax income/"revenue" naturally belongs to governments. They're gracious they don't take it all.
"Fisker was "saddled" with over half a billion in loan guarantees "
"saddled" is an interesting choice of words for another reason: it's as if though getting those loan guarantees were a bad thing for Fisker. It would be more accurate to say that taxpayers were saddled with it.
Let's grant that "thereby", as ludicrous as it is. But "bent" does not mean "break" - which would mean these naughty law-benders were law-abiding. And yet their owners? employees? are supposed to be executed, according to your sense of morality.
Would that not have some scary implications for your own situation?

"It's simply not considered a crime ..."
The drivers may simply not have been at fault in the incidents you are aware of.
OK, that'd be different; still not an automatic "bring down" though.

Luckily not "many" - many enough to be referred to as a voting block in the grandparent. Surely less than 47%.
If many voters need politicians' help to satisfy their "needs to eat", something is very wrong.
Good point ... were it not that the law itself can be illogical / capricious.

The nice thing is that no one has to waste their time trying to convince little you about anything. Your opinions don't matter.
"I'll happily put this on my own guns after the police have used it for five years on theirs," ... or all persons protecting the good congressman.
"They also asked the 1,200 of the scientists involved in the research to self-evaluate their own studies, with nearly identical results."
This must be some kind of joke (or a poor summary). "self-evaluate own studies .. identical results" is an in-effect tautology.
Maybe it's cheaper to remake than to rerun?
Come on, that ways likes heretical thinking about the wisdom of affirmative action of any kind.

Not all research is worthwhile. When you're going bankrupt, the threshold / burden of proof ought to be pretty darned high to ensconce new spending.
ok then.
That article you linked to says apprx. nothing about the "remotely equally bad" topic.
"What I see happening time and again ..."
How many of these situations have you actually seen - first hand - say to the extent of getting to know the engineers and those "toxic" MBAs?
Or are you just regurgitating stuff you've read?

And they laugh when some of us want to starve the beast.
