Won’t someone think of the children?

“ Washington — Volkswagen’s pollution-control chicanery has not just been victimless tinkering, killing between five and 20 people in the United States annually in recent years, according to an Associated Press statistical and computer analysis.

The software that the company admitted using to get around government emissions limits allowed VWs to spew enough pollution to cause somewhere between 16 and 94 deaths over seven years, with the annual count increasing more recently as more of the diesels were on the road. The total cost has been well over $100 million.

That’s just in the United States. It’s likely far deadlier and costlier in Europe, where more VW diesels were sold, engineers said. Scientists and experts said the death toll in Europe could be as high as hundreds each year, though they caution that it is hard to take American health and air quality computer models and translate them to a more densely populated Europe.”

I wonder how many people Taco Bell has killed.

... this is stupid. I think VW did something wrong, however using this method to blame them for deaths is idiotic. Why not charge every automobile company with causing death, then? Pretty much all vehicles make pollutants in one form or another.

I have been driving a Golf TDI for the past few months and I am not dead. Oh wait that’s because the software is programmed not to gas people of the chosen race.

There was a Gawker article about it the other day.

Sorry for any typos, still rolling my eyes

About multiple people dying from VW’s pollutants? I must have missed that.
