Ford calculated it was cheaper to let people burn alive in the Pinto than to fix the exploding gas tank.
Fix the defect? $137 million.

Aaron Siri brought this up on JRE, pointing to similar cases like Vioxx, where the company knew it was causing heart attacks and strokes but downplayed the risks to protect profits.

Kentucky mother hides a camera in her nonverbal autistic son's hair after suspecting he was being abused at elementary school.
Tiphanee Lee says she suspected something was off when she received complaints about her son's behavior at school.
Lee decided to take matters into her own hands and put a small camera in her son's dreads.
When Lee reviewed the footage, she heard noises while her son's head moved around as a staff member accosted him.
"While this was happening there was adults in the room who did nothing to stop it. This is unacceptable," Tiphanee said.
The incident is reportedly under investigation.
