    Yes, it was the workers who assembled the trucks who decided to defeat the anti pollution devices.

    "GM CEO arrested for child molestation."

    Denny: "Damn union!"

    The union owns 18% (at least) of GM. I don't think anyone else owns as much. They hired the board that hired the CEO.

    The workers built those vehicles, unless you want to claim (wouldn't surprise me) that the CEO went down to the assembly line when the workers weren't there and installed these "defeat devices."

    Yep, people here buy German cars all the time. Luckily you were smart and bought a Toyota. If you ever had to work on them you'd stop the sale of them immediately if you became President.

    I'd bomb the factories here for spite.

    When I used to get VW replacement parts made in Germany they were at least decent. Now their bumpers fall apart by handling them. You have to be really careful with them.

    Yeah, they didn't really install anything shady so that isn't fair. The diesel VWs were pretty awesome. Fast and powerful and good mileage. Haven't kept up with the recalls but I suspect they neuter them pretty bad.

    I wonder why Germans don't buy and import more chevy cavaliers? Must be some sort of conspiracy.
