For example, in just one of the reports (60th day), you may see $2.8 million from Honda, $4.1 million from Ford, and $5.1 million from GM.
You could also see who received the money. Or at least, I saw it in the reports in the past. The reports all seems to say "unitemized" now... PR companies sure are adept at distancing their names from negative sentiment, aren't they?
- webdoodle 3y agoIt's pretty disappointing to see these companies paying to suppress our right to repair our own stuff. Thank you for showing me where NOT to spend my money in the future.
- JoyfulTurkey 3y agoIn this filing I see: GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Chrysler, Kia, Hyundai, Subaru, Volkswagen, Mazda USA, BMW, Jaguar, Volvo, Tesla, Mitsubishi, Daimler Mercedes-Benz USA Pretty much all of the big names. Not sure what auto manufacturer you could buy a car from in the future.

- webdoodle 3y agoAt this point I guess I buy old cars, to avoid giving the enemy money, and to avoid the spyware and other invasive technologies they are building into new vehicles.
- JohnFen 3y agoI find all new cars to be unacceptable anyway. I'm sticking to old ones.
- notjulianjaynes 3y agoI'm seeing a list of payments by clicking the data tab and then choosing expenditures from the drop down box. Or did you mean something else? Appears a Buying Time LLC was paid several million. Mildly interesting, but not nessecarily damning is that boston.com (OP article) is listed as having been paid $90,000 to run advertisements.
