Does a CEO falling (with a golden parachute) onto his sword really do anything to clean up the mess?
So VW rigged its software for the benchmark? It’s nice to see they’ve taken a trick out of the computer hardware developer’s playbook.
The article suggests that Merkel’s Germany could be economically ravaged by the fallout of this. If that were to be the case, then I’d have a feeling that many in the EU would be celebrating, Viktor Orban probably chief among them.

I would be unsurprised if the fines were scaled back or even dropped altogether.
I’ve seen articles that point out that the violation is arguably only technical and might not survive a court challenge in the US.
Bottom line, it’s not in the best interest of the USA or EU to have Germany’s economy take a hit right now.

Maybe that might not matter as the PR damage will have been done, similar to DeLorean. IMO Germany having economic uncertainty might be just what the EU needs. From what I hear, her actions are making a growing number of Germans as infuriated as the Americans who just kicked Boehner to the curb are.
I wonder who will take Boehner’s place, both as Speaker and as OH-8’s Representative. Both look to be taken over by someone who will be the same as Boehner politically, which isn’t going to sit well with the folks who gave Boehner the boot.

The PR for this is bad for VW, but it won’t be fatal or at least it shouldn’t be. Nobody’s political class is worth a dime at this point, but that has always been the case hasn’t it?

Which makes sense IMO as there wasn’t much point to replacing John Boehner for political reasons when Kevin McCarthy was the same as Boehner politically (and was more gaffe-prone).
Though when DC does something that seems to make sense, it’s probably cause for concern lol.
