Here we have documented cases of human life being lost, but since there is no extra hidden needs to be pursued, the business is conducted as usual.
Exactly.
What VW did wasn't right, but at the same time the government is being hypocritical. They want to be strict on VW for cheating the system, yet I see tons of diesel trucks with illegal "offroad" tunes driving around on the street and nothing is enforced. One diesel truck with an offroad tune probably puts out more emissions than 1000 TDIs. Heck, I followed a school bus today that had a thick cloud of blue smoke coming out of it the whole time, and it pretty much engulfed the two cars directly behind it.
