I used to drive a VW TDI in the early 2000s. Do they still make the diesel model in the US?

They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!"

Nope because of Dieselgate (somehow VW got the car to fudge emission numbers). Had an 03 VW Golf TDI and now use my daughters 2011 Audi A3 TDI as a commuter car. I love the motor, peppy and great gas mileage. Unfortunately, there are very few mechanics that are knowledgeable re: the engine.
VW engineers knew that the simulated on-road portion of the emissions test was always the same. They programmed the engine microcontroller to recognize that situation and then to eliminate any peppy accelerations and other emissions-rich responses. The actual cars driven by American and European owners still had that detection algorithm included, but if it didn't look like an emissions test was being conducted, the engine responded with full power (and full emissions).
You won't find that kind of info on meme websites, Mother Jones, Slate, Salon etc. That's probably why you missed it.

"Most states ended fiscal 2023 with a budget surplus as tax collections once again came in above projections."
What Did States Do With Their Budget Surpluses?
State revenue collections are returning to earth after several years of high budget surpluses. In many cases, they used the unexpected funds for one-time investments and to shore up reserve funds.

"most states reported a fourth straight year of budget surpluses at the end of fiscal year 2024"
I guess a $45 billion dollar deficit is just child's play, $68 billion predicted for 2025.

I recall being in a proposal-planning meeting when an executive of our company stated that we could bid low to win the contract and then raise the price later. I was not in a position to fire him, and I was surprised that the person who was did not.
