It has stopped criminal prosecutions of people who install “defeat devices,” which make diesel trucks faster and more efficient but also dirtier.

By “dirtier” they mean the exhaust kills people.

    This shit is dumb as fuck, but it ain’t worth losing your sleep over or blowing political capital. It’s just going to piss off more morons while making a near trivial effect on your environment.

    I know they are jackasses but you are not helping by relentlessly following this.
