Tokyo banned diesel motors in the late 90s. As far as I know that didn’t kill Toyota.

At the same time European car makers started to lobby for particle filters that were supposed to solve everything. The politics who where naive enough to believe them do share responsibility, but not as much as the european auto industry that created this whole situation.

Also, you implies that laws are made by politicians without any intervention of the industries whatsoever. I think you know that it is not how it works.

You should really read the article.

It agrees with you in general (and so do I), but the concrete advices are a bit more appropriate for when, inevitably, the kids disobey.

I know you were exaggerating, but humiliating them or resorting to denunciation might just hurt them in the long run.

People win elections all the time. People celebrate elections all the time. The last time somebody taking power did a gesture that looked like this was probably in Germany, 1933. This is no coincidence.
