We covered the case in business ethics, so I don't feel the need to review your info, but thanks for providing it.

What's interesting is that all of the people who made those decisions at Ford are long since gone. 1970? That was 50 years ago.

None of those people are still there.

Now GM and their ignition switches?

That was less than 10 years ago that people were making those decisions, and it was many more vehicles.

On February 6, 2014, General Motors (GM) recalled about 800,000 of its small cars due to faulty ignition switches, which could shut off the engine while the vehicle was in motion and thereby prevent the airbags from inflating. The company continued to recall more of its cars over the next several months, resulting in nearly 30 million cars recalled worldwide and paid compensation for 124 deaths.

Please show me how concerned you are for the sanctity of life, being how recent this is and the scope is so much larger.
