2·1 year agoThe second article you reference literally says the opposite – that tires emit more particulate matter. Whether one is more toxic I have no idea, and I’m not seeing in the article where that is mentioned.

The point is that the US has gathered enough evidence to get indictments against them. Germany has access to that same evidence and has very similar laws that were violated – but has done basically nothing.
The Board had discussions about how to stonewall California. US prosecutors have filed charges against the CEO but Germany won’t extradite.
They are all guilty as fuck.
Despite what the headline says, no execs went to jail. The two who were punished with jail terms were middle management.
Martin Winterkorn, the CEO, will probably avoid any serious consequences.

Europe@feddit.org•Romania’s contentious ban on a far-right candidateEnglish
7·1 year agoI am not Romanian and so perhaps misinformed. But what I’ve seen online (from Euronews and other outlets) is that the Central Election Committee refused to allow him on the ballot over refusal to sign income declarations and other document irregularities. He then appealed to Constitutional Court, which also wouldn’t put him on the ballot. As I said, pretty much any country would not allow candidate on the ballot if they don’t fill out the proper docs.

Europe@feddit.org•Romania’s contentious ban on a far-right candidateEnglish
111·1 year agoGeorgescu was not allowed to run in the May election because he refused to sign the form regarding his income. And when pressed further, said if he did sign the declaration it would be perjury.
Which isn’t to say he might have been banned regardless…but show me any democratic country that allows candidates to run without filling out the necessary forms. This whole thing is just manufactured outrage.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New AnalysisEnglish
75·2 years agoI believe 4 of the 5 Cybertruck fatalities were from a single crash. While the truck may indeed be dangerous, there is hardly enough data yet to draw conclusions.

NCTD in San Diego recently had a meeting about a proposed H2 railcar project for the Sprinter line. The H2 fuel costs are running 4-16x more expensive relative to what was originally planned. So nice to see scarce public transit dollars funding H2 research 🙄
