    A meme is only as good as what goes into it. And yes, I’ll defend the facts over a silly meme that bends them to make it work.

    Did I go overboard for just a meme, yeah, probably. I stand by what I said though, from a point of view of reality.

      The fact is that cars should have gotten safer but not all have and you’re here trying to say on some technicality that it’s ok. But you don’t even have facts to back that up

        I never said anything like that, but if that’s your perception of it, then so be it.

        If you want a commonality of the two situations separated by 50 years, both car companies in their own ways have tried to rationalize the problems to downplay them, because in all that time it’s still cheaper to pay settlements and fines than to fix the core problems. That is true beyond the car industry.
