Volkswagen’s timing is perfect. Just as the world’s wealthiest, most powerful corporations are asking the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress to change the law and protect them from what they’re calling “no injury” class actions, VW creates the perfect “no injury” class action and exposes the truth: These companies are seeking immunity for breaking the law, violating people’s rights, lying, cheating and causing very real injuries. They just don’t want to pay for what they’ve done.
The business community’s reaction to VW’s conduct, moreover, underscores the real problem here: a corporate mentality focused solely on maximizing profits. Not right and wrong. Not what the law requires. Not health and safety. Not even life or death. Just what will make the most money.
