DaimlerChrysler, Wake Up and Smell the Carbon

Another reason why I can't stand rich people. They could give a shit. The next time you see one of them driving a Benz, throw something at them. I hear baloney slices leave ill stains on the paint job. From CNN Money:

DaimlerChrysler, which split into two companies last year when its Chrysler division was purchased by a private equity firm, has been hit with the largest fine ever assessed against any company for violating fuel economy standards set by the Federal Government.

The fine of $30,257,920 was assessed for 2006 model year imported passenger cars. That means the fine was assessed almost entirely against the company's Mercedes-Benz luxury cars.

We're knee-deep in global warming's ass-whipping and the Benz dealers don't care, because they rake in enough cash to pay $30 million a year to ignore common sense and the common good. Forget the baloney slices; try the tire iron.
