The Dieselgate bit is what's really annoying me to no end. On one hand, I respect that Germany can't very well kill off their own car industry out of obligation, but when the car makers are raking in mad dough while lying through their teeth and getting busted left and right in the most obvious manner, it's incredibly insulting to try to sit this one out.
Well, at least Germany is now THIS close to getting sued by EU for failing to protect its citizens from particles and noxious emissions from cars.
Along with pretty much all the other bigger EU countries.
Getting a weird sense of satisfaction from us maybe possibly some day getting our shit pushed back in for always safeguarding our car industry and the precious Diesels as if they were the most fragile thing on Earth. While sleeping on electric / selfdriving cars and renewables and that internet thing and pretty much everything else not invented a century ago.
Still, what a grand look. "
You fuckers failed in the most basic way to protect the normal citizenry from painfully and slowly choking on noxious fumes, and you'll now have to hand over an arm and a leg after multiple very public warnings from a normally toothless tiger you yourself created."
Amazing.
Also goes great hand-in-hand with the way we Germans appear to already have used up our CO2 budget for the year around the next few days or so, if you want to believe some leftie treehugger types, or sometime later in the next few months according to our own gubbermint. Who cares either way, we're gonna bust that sucker big time. AGAIN.
MUST PROTECT OLD AND CRUSTY INDUSTRY
BURN MORE CLEAN COALZ, ATMOSPHER IS HUEG
GUZZLE MORE GAS FROM RUSSIA FUK YEA BEST BUDDIES
WHO CARES THAT OUR SOLAR INDUSTRY IS ONCE AGAIN DED
SELL THEM TO THE CHINESE, NOBODY WANTS OR NEEDS CLEAN ENERGY
DURRRRR
It's tragic, in an entirely avoidable, hilarious way.
Also, I still cackle like a madman that we managed to get stuck with the Puigdemont hot potato like complete and utter buffooons.
I swear, our entire country has decided to compete with the Britons and their Mad Cow Disease fueled romp towards self-harm, only without giving it a fancy name.
