Selective memory: he remembers what he wants to.
The guy has and is making a big stink in the media/newswires though they
are the smaller automaker player. I have had to wade through pages and
pages of newswires of his regularly repeated complaining that he does
not like CARB telling him what he has to do to sell ice in California.
Like an addict being required to get clean when they do not want to.
Like a person required to now eat healthy or die and they do not want
to. Like having to drive on newly painted highway lanes that are
tighter, closer together and complaining about it. (+more) ...
Every time he complains, he presents bad PR for his company. The public
will look at the bigger automaker players in comparison who have and are
at least making an effort to comply.
