Why do our car manufacturers here even remotely think this is okay?
Because it's legal for them to kill us but illegal for us to kill them back.
Simple: it's profitable. Which means it's not only okay, it's mandatory!
They don't concern themselves with whats okay, just with what's legal, and even then, not always. They do concern themselves with what's profitable, all the time. Quite frankly, I don't know why we allow that, except we lost control of the government to money because we don't actually participate in our own governance.
They don't think it's okay, but neither do they care. They want money even if it means killing kids.
