The new $1.4 million crash test dummy – named Thor (Test Human Occupant Restraint) – will join the existing family of five safety mannequins of various sizes, who have been used in thousands of simulated crashes in Australia over the past three decades.

Credit Suisse Maintained Nazi-Linked Accounts into 21st Century, Subpoenaed Records Show
Bank limited scope of internal investigation and terminated Independent Ombudsperson, leaving blind spots in forensic search for Nazi-linked records
WASHINGTON — Multiple reports shine a new light on Credit Suisse’s historical servicing of Nazi clients and Nazi-linked accounts, which in some cases continued until as recently as 2020. The reports, released by the Senate Budget Committee on Holocaust Remembrance Day, detail a multi-year internal investigation by a forensic research firm retained by Credit Suisse and initially overseen by an Independent Ombudsperson who was inexplicably terminated by the bank during the course of the review. While the resulting reports are incomplete and were hampered by scoping restrictions, they nonetheless reveal nearly 100 previously undisclosed Nazi-linked accounts and related information, and they raise new questions about the bank’s potential support for Nazis fleeing justice following World War II via so-called “Ratlines.”
The reports were provided to the Budget Committee pursuant to a subpoena and a subsequent bipartisan investigation by Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.). The Committee has jurisdiction over the federal budget, including budget requests related to the State Department’s Office of the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues. Because of the Committee’s investigation, the reports are now public and Credit Suisse has pledged to continue its own investigation into remaining unanswered questions.
“When it comes to investigating Nazi matters, righteous justice demands that we must leave no stone unturned. Credit Suisse has thus far failed to meet that standard.

It has/has not got anything to do with gender inequality. Many smaller cars do not have height adjustable seat belts. Very often if a woman is involved in a crash, the seatbelt doesn't sit across her shoulder and much closer to her neck thus not anchoring a female, or a shorter man, in the seat properly.
She's correct to say they should use female/shorter test dummies too.
However, the answer is simpler, just fit height adjustable seat belts in all cars.

The House Judiciary Committee Thursday night released a shocking letter addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealing that the basis upon which the claim that stories concerning Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" were "Russian disinformation" were prompted by the Biden campaign and Blinken himself.
The false claim that the laptop was "Russian disinformation" was repeated ad nauseam by Biden allies, like Jen Psaki who became the first press secretary under the Biden administration. The claim was based on a letter signed by 50 former members of the intelligence community, and that letter was organized by former CIA director Mike Morell, who did so at the prompting of the Biden administration.

Or, according to these wack jobs, you can just put lipstick and a wig on the male test dummies. Because you know, trans women are women.
But I think an opportunity was missed yesterday. When she said we need women test dummies..right then and there she should have been asked.."what differentiates a man from a woman?"..."how would we define a woman test dummy?", "How do we know that test dummies are currently men?" She really left herself vulnerable there too bad nobody seized the opportunity to call out the idiocy.
But I digress
