From this: Engine producer Cummins should pay the second largest environmental penalty in United States historical past: a whopping $1.6 billion to settle claims that it outfitted a whole bunch of 1000’s of vehicles with software program to defeat air pollution controls.
Plug-In America co-founder Paul Scott writes: Jennifer Rumsey is the CEO of Cummins. She’s been a excessive degree member of administration for over a decade and was intimately concerned on this scheme to defraud California regulators and presumedly these in different states. Whereas I admire that her firm has been fined $1.6 billion, it’s also a incontrovertible fact that the results of her crime contain extra human deaths from the added diesel air pollution. Appears she ought to spend time in jail for that.
As I famous repeatedly in the course of the (extraordinarily related) VW emissions scandal, company malfeasance, whereas it isn’t model new, continues to escalate as time passes.
After I was working as a enterprise marketing consultant a couple of a long time in the past, principally to the Fortune 100 tech firms, no-one would have dreamed suggesting a conspiracy to defraud authorities regulators, cheat clients, and endanger the well being of everybody on Earth. If somebody had really carried out so, he would have been fired instantly and escorted off the premises by safety.
Instances have modified, to place it kindly.
