Evil butcher Lee Iococca dead

Lee Iococca has died at age 94. He was the monster who knowingly decided to produce the Ford Pinto with a defect which resulted in people burning to death in their cars because it would save a few dollars per car, who is on tape telling Richard Nixon that, sure, seat belts save lives, but they're a waste of money. He convinced Nixon to kill regulations requiring airbags. He was a prominent opponent of the Clean Air Act.

Later, Iococca was in charge of Chrysler. Put out the ghastly K Car. It was promoted as showing that Chrysler was back after years of shoddy product. But within just a few years, the K-cars had all disappeared from the roads. They were terrible and they all fell apart. The K Car would make a pretty good movie gag---you could show a guy in 1981 proudly showing his neighbors his horrible new K Car. But they can't do it because none exist.

Iococca's masterpiece.

But dying peacefully in old age is the best you can hope for, death-wise. There's nothing to be terribly sad about when someone you like dies this way, and there's nothing to be happy about when it happens to a terrible, terrible person. No one was celebrating Mengele's death.
