Government dictating that citizens MUST give money to a private company who then gives money to the politicians who make that mandate is wildly immoral. Insurance should be a government program.

Leaded gas still isn't banned. Small airplanes still use it, and homes around airfields (including mine, which my family lived in before the airfield) are contaminated with lead. My daughter failed her 12 month lead test because of it despite us excluding her from outdoor activities in our neighborhood.

I'm not sure how we got on the topic, but it came up in a drunken conversation with a friend. I'm fully converted to a sit down wiper now.

They were both trash vehicles that had no place on the street. They were a danger to their own drivers as well as everyone else unfortunate enough to share the road with them. They had among the worst stopping distance and acceleration in memory. The H1 did 0-60. Eventually. It was something like 20 seconds as I recall. And it took nearly a football field to stop from that speed.

Which countries are you talking about? Pretty much every country with a notable economy has gold reserves of some size.
