IIRC Pushback against "Unsafe at any speed" was the literal origin of the conservative think tank as a political movement. I think Behind the Bastards did an episode on it or maybe Stuff you missed in history class?

It was always Ralph Nader's fault.

(To the down voter: Ralph Nader fought to bring regulations for mandatory seat belts, among other life saving consumer safety issues he had a hand in. Man's a hero. Also, this is a joke. Ffs)

Which part's a joke? I can't tell which of you think you're being funny.

Seat belts> Ralph Nader, ah fuckit, you're boring and humorless.
