The corporations werent so much to blame as the lack of consumer accountability in the market hadnt quite been established in a way to prevent those types of sales. A similar reason as to why sinkholes have been a problem in Florida for decades, because consumers dont always make sure a third party has tested the ground correctly. Once the accountability started more, reputable companies have had to change their practices to compete in the marketplace. However, due to corporatist legislation, there can be a serious lack of competition, which leads to problems like the Flint, Michigan water issue, since water companies are monopolized by the states, same thing with bridges and roads that fail due to construction companies winning local bids often being monopolies due to nepotism and other forms of government corruption.

Well first things first: I am sorry what happened in Up State New York. As any story there are 3 sides. If you do the research you will find out that Hooker Chemical was straight away up with everything they did. The truth yes Hooker made cement canals of chemicals under the ground that were 14 feet from the surface. The local town got the land free knowing not to dig or disturb the cement canals. To make a park. Now if a politician sells the land to a housing developer who then does exactly what Hooker said not to do then the wrong people payed full price. Looking back Hooker should have never given away the land and made it a park. Some men did have integrity and some knowing hurt people.

Scotty, I live in Buffalo and about two years ago I got off at the wrong exit for the Robert Moses and ended up on some of the old Love Canal streets. Believe it or not there are actually still a few hold outs who still live there. Only about two or three but the houses are still there and there were people there. They deemed some of the areas safe and build a new residents section called Black Creek. There was word last year the clay cap they installed in the 70s is becoming breeched. The entire county of Niagara and especially the city of Niagara Falls is an abomination. Absolute shame.

Ive been saving to get to the 2000-2500 mark to get a reliable car and I really miss my Crown Vic. Ive been set on getting a Corolla but dont feel safe in those. Camrys at that price point are all the earlier years of 02-09 and those 2. 4L blow head gaskets. My nephew said hed just give me the Crown Vic back when he gets a new car but hes run it hot (aka gonna blow a head gasket no thanks) and other Crown Vics are either overpriced or ragged out. Lincolns are too expensive. So that leaves the Grand Marquis. Im really torn on what to choose.

Scotty on that Aveo since they are not made to do 80 mph and he would be in the throttle pretty hard to maintain that speed could it not also possibly be control arm bushings? I only ask because every front wheel drive car Ive ever had I was a barbarian to the control arm bushings and I would have wobbling issues on the highway if I was on the throttle hard or even lightly to maintain speed. You know better than I do thats why Im here I was just asking. Thanks for your time thanks for your videos much appreciated

Hey Scotty, could you do a video of your top five SUVs/AWD vehicles for those of us who legitimately need these things? I dont really want a pickup truck but I need to be able to haul things that can be kinda dirty sometimes, drive in the snow and still carry passengers comfortably. I currently have a Honda CR-V and love the vehicle but its starting to get quite a few miles on it and needs some suspension work that I dont much want to put into it.

Scotty, I have 2 questions: Why ALL the car manufacturers do not provide a sound or the light alarm for high water temperature? They give a little analog pointer and thats it. If you have a radiator water leak and you miss that tiny indicator, your engine is burned or the head gasket is broken. Why dont they provide temperature alarm in addition to the temperature indicator? 2- Can I purchase a high temperature alarm from somewhere? Thanks

Scotty, now you talking a BS. Audi TT mk1 1996-2006 does not have a automatic transmission as you mean it on mickey land. It have a 5, 6 speed manual and 6 speed tiptronic aka. manumatic. Tiptonic is not the mickey mouse regular drive automatic. Yes mickey mouse have a big ears but between these ears are almost nothing. The same love as you Scotty sharing, I share back. Stop hating European cars

just the tip? band
did you fix the audio in your intro? the clipping is gone? always bothered me and wanted as an AV nerd and amature recording engineer to help you fix that. did you re-record it? usually digital clipping cant be fixed if its in the recording level and not post gain. and before people judge my channel we have no computer recordings up yet. just live cell phone videos from a cheap cell phone
