That's the way my friend. For me, i get to share my EPA story in such a way that gets people motivated. When we were shutting down, I took every opportunity to convince others that if you want people like us in business, and it's too late to save us, but you have to talk to people. Get them to understand what's happening to the industry.

"If there is one thing I can leave you with, it's too late to save us, but it's not too late to tell your friends and family, government isn't going to save us". Most of my demographic agreed with the last part XD

Agreed and that's essentially my focus. People should be educated enough to resist where they can. That's all we can do at this point.

In think there is more we can do, but it's going to take a whole hell of a lot of resources. That's the white pill part. I think someone with enough money and power to care, could make some changes happen, especially in the aftermarket, and there are engineers out there still, even newer ones, that actually want to participate so long as they can work a steady 9/5 and be protected from the government. But someone has to take on that risk to make it happen. Most lawyers don't want to touch it though. We were told, we has a supreme court case if we wanted to peruse it, but the likelyhood of them finding a reason to kick your doors in skyrockets. And even if you did win, he said, "ive been in this a long time, you will always need me or someone else on your payroll, it will never end" Even millionaires like Kory Willis didn't have the connections required to keep him out, despite moving his businesses across multiple countries. I don't agree with his stance, but given enough people to care could get there.

I think the hard part is the brainwashing of the public. Kory was a diesel tuner, made most of his money from deleting exhaust/emissions equipment on diesel pickups. Getting the public to back that guy... yeah. He should have the right to sell parts to people to install, but I also don't agree with deliberately making emissions worse "because you can". There are ways to make power without excessive negative emissions. Tough spot to be in. The general public would clutch their pearls in 2025.

But I also don't agree with the government regulating the American dream of "because I can" either.
