1- Japan is such a strange backward country...
Quote:
A Japanese court has extended for another 10 days the detention of ousted Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who faces more charges of financial misdeeds.
Can you imagine locking this man up like a commoner instead of giving him a billion dollar golden parachute. How barbaric.

2- Fortunately for the 1/3rd...
Quote:
A government-appointed monitor reported that some 16.7 million defective Takata airbag inflators have not yet been replaced, around one-third of the recalled units.
At least that 1/3rd is not endangered by an exploding package of talcum powder which might give them Ovarian cancer.

3- Recall shmeecall...
Quote:
Ford is recalling nearly 900,000 F-series pickups from the 2015 through 2019 model years to correct a defect in the engine block heater that could result in a fire.
A fire? Well duh, doesn't that heat the engine? Buncha whining maggots.

4- Big tax write off for VW...
Quote:
Volkswagen’s cleanup efforts from the diesel emissions cheating scandal will cost the automaker around $6.25 billion in 2018 and another $2 million in 2019.
Taxpayers come out on the short end again, I see unfilled potholes.
