   That’s part of a derregulated market. Stuff people don’t want or need don’t sell. Companies that makes stuff that doesn’t sell goes out of business.

   Logic, pure common sense. It’s capitalism. Except this time, America (and the west in general, where the very idea of capitalism was born) is on the loosing side.

   Either:

   a) There is a demand for car sales in the US in which case auto dealerships will survive,

   or

   b) There is little demand for car sales in the US in which case it’s the consumers ‘fault’ and not the Big 3.

   After many $Billions it comes to this?
   Q. Which idiots couldn’t see this coming?
   A. Idiot Congress.

   Something I don’t understand, how does an independent dealer/franchisee cost the car company money other than some minor administrative costs? Can franchise contracts be renegotiated?
