- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoTo give my opinion: The Dieselgate scandal shows that Volkswagen (and other implicated companies) are not well run. You could make the argument that this kind of cheating is a form of optimising for profit and therefor doing it well is "well run". But I find that argument sociopathic and short-term. And it opens the can of worms of the broader context of the industry: Are you doing something, well or not, that you shouldn't be doing at all (in this case, producing engines that turn fossil fuels into pollution) But, make your own mind up.
