I understand and I don't care. Your personal interests as a diesel truck driver don't override others' interests in health and clean air

Refusing to understand something and are making an uninformed decision as a result isn't a great thing to brag about.

The fact is, emissions regulations in many ways have nothing to do with health or clean air. I don't drive a diesel truck myself so its not like I'm trying to defend my own behavior or anything. I'm a former automotive engineer who is unfortunately very familiar with the regulations and how nonsensical they are.

So you’re trying to tell me that NOx and diesel particulates are not harmful to human health?
