After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

  Some native Americans were heavily into gambling. The article I read that this sometimes lead overoptimistic ones to bet all their clothes in the dead of winter

  By contrast, the Incas support your argument in that their empire was a largely successful Communist nation for hundreds of years

  They gambled before they had contact with white men, or after they culture was poisoned by ours?
