BMW already caps their cars at 250/155 and have been doing that forever.

That sucks though when you are on one of those empty highways near the Polish border.

This system is pretty advanced linked to gps so you will still be able tp go 180-200 where its allowed on the autobahn

I havent driven faster then 160-170 in my car though.

BisMarckie · « **Reply #680 on:** March 28, 2019, 06:39:58 AM »

The conversation rate in my head was way off, I thought 112 mph were like 240km/h and I didn't see that as a big deal.

But a hard cap at 180kmh ifrom Volvo is just ridiculous. Good luck selling their premium cars with that.

German carmakers will fight this tooth and nail before such a thing becomes mandatory.

My hybrid cant go faster then 180

Volvo will sell bucketloads of cars cause volvo buyers don't care about speed.

German carmakers are shit man, after dieselgate I don't know if Id ever buy one.

Fugazi was effectively a startup from which valuable lessons in governance, business and sustainability might be inferred about the way an O’Rourke administration will approach the American economy.

Fugazi capitalism would be inclusive, consumer-friendly and ethical. It would favor the interests of small businesses over corporations. It would reject cronyism. As O’Rourke described MacKaye, he “really did represent this super-ethical way, not just of being in a band, or running a label, or putting on shows, but of just living.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2019/04/01/sources-martin-shkreli-thrown-in-solitary-confinement-after-claims-he-ran-company-from-prison/

Quote

Earlier this month, the much-maligned pharmaceutical businessman and uber troll Martin Shkreli was put in solitary confinement at Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, Forbes has been told by two sources with knowledge of the situation. That came after the Wall Street Journal described how he was using a contraband phone to run his pharma business from behind bars.

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) wouldn’t confirm that Shkreli had been placed in solitary confinement, saying it would not release information about “an individual inmate's conditions of confinement.” But it confirmed that the issues raised in the Journal article were “under investigation.”

“When there are allegations of misconduct, they are thoroughly investigated, and appropriate action is taken if allegations are sustained,” a spokesperson for the BOP added. Shkreli’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, declined to comment on his client’s status.

One source close to Shkreli’s legal team said the fraudster was in the special housing unit (SHU) a week and a half after the article was published on March 7, but the source had not received an update on his status. But according to Justin Liverman, a fellow inmate and ex-member of notorious hacker crew Crackas With Attitude, Shkreli was indeed put in solitary and was still there as of Sunday. “Martin is in the SHU,” Liverman told Forbes.

According to the Journal, Shkreli was operating his business, Phoenixus AG, via a cellphone. The company appears to be a reincarnation of Turing Pharmaceuticals AG, which jacked up the prices of rare drugs to the fury of patients, doctors and insurers. In one of the worst examples, Turing increased the cost of a pill for patients with HIV/AIDS from $13.50 to $750. Shkreli plans to continue in the pharma game and even sees Phoenixus becoming a multibillion-dollar enterprise with him as inmate-in-charge. Earlier this year he even fired the firm's interim CEO over the phone, though he let him stay on the board, according to Journal sources. This all came in Shkreli’s first year in Fort Dix; he was sentenced to seven years for committing securities fraud and securities fraud conspiracy.

so now a dude can't work a job just because he's in prison?
