Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The company can only get away with this sort of thing if there isn't adequate oversight. The root cause is political. If that indeed had anything to do with it, which is speculation at this point.
And they wonder why we’re so fucking jaded 😂😂 but for real. Justice doesn’t exist anymore.
Fairly certain that it never has.
While this is probably what will happen because Texas, there was a really horrible limousine crash in New York and it basically destroyed the stretch limo industry
I'm guessing the people involved in the limo crash that changed things where not poor normal people.
Yeah, and it shocked a lot of the rich folks to learn they'd die horribly if they were in an accident so they took action
I thought it was all the gaudy shit they started putting into the back of stretch Hummers. It's a plastic facsimile of being rich.
I think the 1990s, 2000s, and beyond killed the stretch limo industry. I don't think anyone finds them that cool anymore and they're a pain in the ass to own and operate I'm assuming.
Man I hope not. The owner or the truck or trucking company, or whoever was paid to transport the load, should be held liable. They paid the driver, subcontracted to an independent contractor and are therefore responsible for the performance. They could sue the driver/sub if they felt they misperformed by insurance should eat that trucking company alive for this.
Depending on how the contracts are written, the transport company may now be extremely fucked too.
This always happens. Skimp on safety to save pennies, then lose millions in equipment in a disaster. The person buying this equipment is going to demand a new one for free, and the supplier is going to point at the transporter.
Justly so. Let them lose everything for trying to cut corners and killing people as a result.
