Fiorina's not stupid. What she lacks is the business acumen to detect that she's being snookered. It's the flaw that allows Democrats to fool Republicans into bad deals, and Iranians to fool Obama into a disastrous treaty. It's an unacceptable attribute for a CEO or a U.S. president.
There is existing tech that allows light to affect a photosensitive layer on a copper clad board. Do that, wash off the unexposed areas, then submerge the board in chemical etchant. Wait, rinse, dry, and you have a single layer PCB.
Emissions tests vary by state. In Connecticut, cars are actually put on a dynamometer and run at specified speeds and load levels. How the hell did VW cars pass the Ct. test?
First, if you wish to be understood, stop referring to Volkswagen as plural.
Second, Volkswagen is not its corporate officers and administrators. If they have behaved criminally, they might be jailed. Volkswagen cannot be jailed.
Third, if some Volkswagen people are jailed, they can't be simultaneously operating the company. They are no longer part of Volkswagen. If you clarify the portions of your post that conflate Volkswagen with its personnel, your suggestions lose even the appearance of making sense.
The people buying the high polluting VW vehicles were not specifically harmed. If there was any harm, it occurred to the general air-breathing populace. The best way to pay people for that harm is to lower general taxes by the money that VW is fined, any other mechanism would have administration costs on the order of $500 million.
If VW is heavily fined, the stock price will fall, which is a punishment to the stockholders. Any direct legal prosecution of the stockholders would be enormously expensive and in violation of the concept of limited liability that corporations are mean to provide. Changing the latter is post facto, a violation of law much more egregious and damaging than piddling concerns like diesel emissions.
Do you really think Germany is going to let the US jail the wealthy German citizens who run VW, or the relatively well off German engineers and programmers who designed this system? If the US pushes too hard, VW can just say "Screw you, we're not making any more vehicles for the US market."
The escape velocity of Phobos is 11.4 m/s. The escape velocity of Mars is 5027 m/s. That makes a hell of a lot of difference for a round trip or a rescue mission.
Except for explicit teaching of critical thinking and logical fallacies, nothing teaches critical thinking as well as programming. Because even the tiniest errors quickly produce compile errors, crashes, or bad results, a student can quickly learn to be more careful
Contrast that with history which is memorization, English where the most stylish BS wins, and math where you don't know you've made a mistake until the graded homework is returned.

Your hatred blinds you to practical reality. Dying from stomach cancer can take a long time. Think of the damage they could do while still alive!
To call a man decent because he admits that he wants to steal everything you own, is missing the point.

He'd be correct. He explosively vaporized a small amount of copper where the conductors touched.
Except in Bill Clinton's administration, when the income tax was increased on income already earned.
Revenue is not profit.
Apparently, the performance and economy would have been inferior. More expensive, less economical, slower. Poor sales seems a likely result.

Is VW actually advertising that the cars meet EPA standards?

Potting soil and seed starting soil contain fillers like vermiculite to keep the mix light and airy. Polystyrene foam would be a perfect additive.

If research leads to an engineering solution and an understood technology, then it ceases to fall under even the sloppiest definition of "miracle".
You are proposing anarchy. Any small group of troublemakers could cripple even essential functions.
Do you not understand the word "separate"? When minerals are exracted, they're separate from the asteroid.
Compare current US corruption increases and imperial Rome.
Conditions change, people become wiser. Are there any treaties 2000 years old that are still enforced? 1000?
