It was supposed to be an Econ paper but I got carried away...
Have a read!
Ill specify the prompt was extremely loose and we chose it. It is specifically not a research paper and the elements of economy that are required in the paper are almost none. This was basically a ‘fun’ paper.
Feel free to comment on page
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Is this for a college econ class? It just seems like a scathing editorial...

I like that you pointed out diesel as a whole and not just VW diesel engines as a big what next.
Prominent question for me is what happens to VW? They’re going to get hit across the board and not just TDIs. While I never was a fan of VW, the sheer volume of their vehicles will have a massive impact on the new and used markets as buyers shift brands and trade in.

I’ll be blunt: This isn’t a macroeconomics paper.

Yeah I am fully aware of that, at the moment I do not care too much about the subject matter or the general economics standpoint of the paper. Teachers prompt was “this is not a research paper”

Sometimes if you write about something you’re passionate about, the professor will appreciate that.

Well, as a college professor who teaches macroeconomics, I’ll have to agree with my colleague. Also, no reference citations and not in APA format.
On the plus side, it’s not badly written.

I appreciate your input, the prompt was simply write something with a vaguely economic tone. It is really just to get us on the track of writing for this class, I need to work on actually writing about the statistics and the analytical aspect of the economy.

Interesting approach. Sources would be nice. The red lines mean something and if I were your teacher I’d have trouble reading it because of the glaring mistakes. Just honest feedback, not intended harshly.

Hey, I won’t offer comments on the appropriateness or relevance of the subject matter because other people have already done so. What I will say is that I went through and copy edited your paper for you, making some corrections (including corrections of corrections... sigh), and offering a couple of suggestions. My edits are purely about the technical aspects of your paper, not the content of it. I edit other people’s writing for a living. You’ll find my edits as “Xyl0 !”
Good luck!

Oh, also... I highlighted every instance of a ‘to-be’ verb I saw in your paper. To-be verbs are the weakest verbs in the English language and will weaken your writing overall. See if you can replace at least half of them with other verbs. That may take restructuring your sentences.
