When they tried to skirt emissions standards, I decided never to buy another VW.
Whether they rolled out EVs or not, these fucks tried to break the law to destroy the planet. They can get fucked.
This is exactly how I feel about VW. Clearly an unscrupulous company that will lie to anyone to make an extra buck. If they were willing to deceive powerful regulatory bodies in a vast conspiracy with the side effect of fucking over the already fucked environment, what hope does the lowly consumer have to trust such an organization. Fuck 'em, they can go out of business for all I care.
Not disagreeing, but you are describing almost every company or corporation above a certain size
Also not disagreeing, but don't give the ones who are proven to be scum a pass because of the assumption the others are also scum. Make them at least work to hide their shit and maybe every now and then they'll decide that something is too risky and make a good choice because they know that even if the law gives them an easy out, they could be dead to a lot of people.
Oh yes, that's definitely how I also feel about them
