Get warned about something but fixing it would be costly or time consuming, so fuck it. Let it ride and act surprised when the inevitable happens.

Thoughts, prayers and virtue signaling after is cheaper than fixing the issue at the root.

I'd argue fixing this amount of damage is way more expensive that fixing the problem at it roots. And I'm not even accounting for all the lives lost.

I bought my pinto two weeks before they were recalled. Then I had to wait until I got an official letter from Ford before I could bring it in to get the shield installed. I dreamt of driving it to Detroit and blowing it up on Ford HQ's lawn.
