    Hardly an accurate observation. As an ex-GMer, its been well known for decades that the dealer base needed to be cut. Old dealerships were left in forgotten urban areas and failed to move to new, vigorous markets die out. An import dealership will sell 100 cars per outlet compared to a domestic that will only sell 45 to 50 cars a month. They are not profitable, either for the dealer or the franchise holder. The cutbacks are on the losers that are behind the times, taking resources and financing from new markets that are profitable to all and to a growing market for a car maker. The stupidity of Soviet central planning hardly applies here. The decisions to cut were make long ago, and the makers are seizing the moment. About time too. No one will miss the old dealers, wait and see.

    Sure he wasn’t working for the U.S. government saying who could NOT grow wheat? Or maybe he just determined how much to pay them for NOT growing wheat?
