If you own Boeing stocks in 6 months you'll be held legally responsible for every single air crash.

Wait till you realize Boeing doesn't care about safety, the only thing they care about is the next share holding meeting.
Everyone is bailing as soon as they can.
Does this mean
General Motors announced today that it is now selling this data directly to insurers. After all why should LexisNexis and Verisk get a cut?
For a truck that is spectacular gas mileage. The manual transmission helps, but the big difference is that it just isn't that big. Our current regulations make small trucks like the S10 infeasible. That's the sort of unintended consequence that is likely to make this 30 year-old vehicle even more desirable in the future.
And before you mock his gas mileage remember that he has been getting that gas mileage since 1995 when 23 MPG was even more amazing. That vehicle cost around $10k new, is far less expensive to insure than basically anything else. While the S10 is small, it is still a pickup truck. If you take the time to compare his driving costs over the last 25 years compared to yours you will probably be far less inclined to mock his decision. Especially when you consider the fact that his vehicle doesn't phone his insurance company every time he brakes aggressively.
I drive an old 1996 Honda Civic for similar reasons. It gets better gas mileage (and seats more people, at least in a pinch), but it isn't as generally useful as an S10. I'm jealous.
What I want is a new Toyota Hilux. It is like the S10 in many ways (in that both are small pickups). Unfortunately, Toyota can't sell them in the U.S. due to the unintended consequences of some of our stupid EPA regulations. Instead we are stuck with bigger trucks because apparently those vehicles get loopholes.
There are countless problems with this study. How about: People who are asked to self-report what they eat to strangers might be more likely to lie about what they eat to seem more healthy. In which case, any correlation with outcomes is meaningless.
I get your point (and agree with it), but that doesn't mean we need to latch on to every idea that comes down the pipe.
A week can't go by without all the science news sites announcing that someone has figured out that we have everything all wrong.
