After some thought, I've decided that we should refer to this apparent lapse by journalists as "Oceangate-gate-gate"
After decades of journalists attaching the suffix "gate" to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as "Oceangate-gate"
We should mandate that all large trucks, including pickups, have hoods like these. Such hoods would save lives, and requiring them on large vehicles would undoubtedly lead to newer, smaller sized pickup designs that wouldn't be required to use them. Win-win
If we could just work out how to efficiently mill waste plastic into 15 μm or so sizes, we'd then be able to mix the plastics directly into our wheat flours and whey protein powders. Why try to beat plastic when we could just become plastic?
