VW the company that made gobs of money by making cars people wanted, since that’s no longer the case they’ll just make arms.

It goes deeper than that... VW was part of the German Industrial machine that eventually arrested and killed off a significant portion of jewish people during WWII, and they are now building missles to defend(?) Israel, a nation-state that resulted pretty much directly from that other war. I guess the People Car is now Volksrakete instead.

I understand all of that but VW isn’t doing so hot right now.

My comment was a meta comment on the state of VW.
