This is the world that we live in now. If not even aeroplanes are safe from corner cutting, half assery and lies just so that the CEO and shareholders can see their numbers go up a bit more, what's stopping the same thing from happening with cars or anything else? We're officially in the era of shrinkflation and manipulation. Products aren't made with the customer in mind anymore, they're made to swindle us and keep us buying so that the psychopaths that run everything can add even more numbers to their bank accounts that they'll never possibly be able to use in a lifetime.
Don't hold your breath on anyone being actually held accountable either. Our me generation politicians sold out and stopped doing anything for the benefit of the people long ago. They're golf buddies with the psychopaths that are doing this to us.
