Exactly right
They are destroying the engines by removing the oil and running a substance through the engine and running it until it is destroyed.
They are crushing the rest of the car.
Yup, it’s a plan to force people into not driving cars (unless you are rich.)
It’s all about control
This program is about as green the sky.
Reminds me somewhat of Stalin. I wonder if they will do farm tractors next.
I think they're running sodium silicate in it. Grinds up the bearings and burns up the engine. It's a shame. I suppose there's still a lot of good parts in the engine, and it could possibly be rebuilt with new bearings, rings and other moving parts. Fuel injectors, manifolds, and lots of components are still valuable.
So wasteful to trash something of use to others who need parts for old cars. Perhaps that's the motive; the government wants to take cars away from the masses and get them into public transit.
