It’s actually his wife who built and runs it. I live close by and have been to a few of their fundraisers and events. It’s almost certainly a tax haven, but they actually do good work for human rights keeping slave labor out of construction projects. During Covid, they were the first team to acquire and distribute free PPE to the area. So yeah, it’s a somewhat odd institution, but I’d wager it’s no sketchier than your average church.

Seriously? Maybe that's true for WRX drivers, but I feel like the stereotypical Subaru driver is a grandparent with base-model Forester driving 5 miles below the speed limit.

We probably subsidize the payroll of many of the rich "benefactors." We subsidize Wal-Mart's payroll already with food stamp assistance and more, the blood sacrifices which are not optional sacrifices have been moved to far away countries after unions caused to much trouble for the owners wallets. Unfortunately for the rich greed knows no bounds and the middle class they created to protect themselves from the guillotine of the exploited poor is shrinking because, as greed knows no bounds, they began consuming that which there ancestors created as protection. They believe their own propaganda.

I find that they generally tend to tailgate so close that I can no longer see the headlights of their car and sometimes the driver even disappears from view. I always drive the speed limit or 5 to 10 mph faster, but it's like they're playing a game and actually seeing how close they can get to my vehicle.

It's never not a Subaru doing this.
