Hopefully not. However the argument of controlling compliance to emission and safety regulations may be tempting to lawmakers. Nothing is ever certain with those kinds of dealings.

Yeah, aside from the fact that it will cripple thousands of businesses across the country.
If fast food workers can somehow organize to protest their wage (and give me a burger when I ordered a chicken sandwich) just imagine what kind of resistance companies like Weistec, AMS, UGR, etc could organize.

Off topic -- but every time I write something long for the forums I also open up a word doc and copy paste into it before I post for reasons exactly like this.

This did affect thousands of workers and the workers in the business that supported that industry.
While I work in a energy sector that benefits from the closing of coal burning generation it kills me to see our government put the screws a industry in the name of 'clean air compliance' while countries like China and India don't give a rat's a$$ about it while increasing their emissions.

LOL, when were you in China the last time? Did you see the sun and wind powered street lights in Shanghai? Read the environmental legislation applicable to any new factory opening?
China has many difficult decisions to make on old, historic, formerly state owned businesses ( which feed many of its citizens still), but in many ways they have moved way beyond the US already in terms of how strategically they manage environmental aspects. Their acute issues of air pollution help their resolve no doubt, but do not assume we are clean and they are dirty. That is naive.
Sorry, not really a W204 topic. Btw, could someone answer my post on differential oil cooling? :-)
