An alleged scientist should know better than to equate correlation with causation. Especially when the other side of their mouth is saying "We don't know the cause."

Perhaps people with poor health are more prone to eating UPFs, either from some craving caused by their poor health, or because their poor health leaves them having to buy the cheapest food possible (which will be UPFs).

Did they make any attempt to distinguish between correlation and causation? Or even acknowledge that they aren't the same thing?

Their mantra is "GIVE US MONEY OR YOU'LL DIE!!! AND SOMEONE WILL MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN AND KILL YOUR DOG!!1"

Doesn't much matter what the subject is, it's a dire threat to human civilization and the only possible way to survive is to give the hysterical pearl clutchers all your money.

Sweden (and most of Europe) has more trust in their own government than those of us in the US. And certainly more trust in their own government than in any other government. And quite possibly more trust in a rabid dog playing fetch with a hand grenade with the pin pulled than in the Chinese government.

But this isn't about the fire department, or the bus company, doing so. It's about the manufacturer - literally halfway around the world - doing so with zero information about the crash.

(And the fire department has their own way of cutting out the batter, that involves bolt cutters and clearly marked access points on the outside of the vehicle.)

So you don't care if the next car has the same flaw, and catches fire in your garage and burns down your house in the process? Even though that flaw could have been - possibly quite easily - identified and fixed if those logs had been available?

Or that the same thing might happen to your neighbor, whose burning house might also burn yours down? While you're in it?

Or that your insurance company might double or triple your rates because your car is designed to be unsafe? If they're cover it at all?

Or that the guy who just rear ended you (and his car caught fire) might be uninsured for those reasons?

I'll bet you run with scissors, too.

Obviously, he's a tout.

unless you've been in a coma for the last 50 years? I mean, seriously, their entire economy has been a house of cards for at least that long.

I rather suspect that it means "valid under the WIPO" treaty.

To be fair, there are lots of negatives about the Chinese approach. And we're so used to the negatives of the US approach that we almost don't see them...but other people do.

As "dominant world power"s go, the US has been quite lenient. This is known as damning with faint praise. OTOH, China shows every sign of being going to be worse...but probably not worse than Britain was.

When something goes wrong your mind always jumps to hackers, but most of the time its your own fault.

Her wife was giving him the cold shoulder.

They don't know that the ultimate secret password is 0451. Nobody will ever guess that.

The "Crash Axe" switch, turns off the obnoxious copilots :D

Cars can run for 20+ years with maintenance ... buy a 2015 car without any konneketed krap and take good care of it.

Anonymous Cowards, always stupiding up the comments.

We KNOW from survey data that people with trucks in North America rarely or never use the truck bed, and 70% never tow anything with it.

If that's true, they're not buying a truck because it's good at truck stuff, they're buying it for reasons that are superficial, because a truck is worse at literally everything to do with driving on roads than cars UNLESS they're towing or hauling something.

You can look it up yourself.
