It's another scam to raise the cost of cars - prolly to somewhere like
$100,000. Americans will be told it's all about saving lives but that
can be accomplished by lowering speed limits and throwing bad drivers
in prison. Everything in america is a lie, a scam, or a conspiracy.

I love self-correcting mechanisms. Like the one where 40,000+ inept
drivers remove themselves from the road on a yearly basis. Darwin was
a freakin' optimist.
