Diesel pollution is deadly. And it seems that more people at a higher level are complicit in this scandal than in the GM one.

Besides which, what does it matter how bad GM was? This scandal stands on its own.

Yeah that is kinda my point. I am upset that GM wasn't held to this standard of accountability or any other car company for that matter. I agree with you that this one is as bad or worse.
