      People have taken a huge hit on rents and house prices. A new car is a luxury of you already have another in working condition. The dealers are going to find out over the next 5 years that people can't afford their products.

      What's funny as fuck is they are actually destroying themselves as we speak. The people they fucked over with high interest insane car prices; those are the ones they are trying to repo from. Instead of modifying the terms of the loan so the car is actually affordable they are just stealing back cars that turn into clunker pieces of shit. Dealers are actively fucking themselves over by fucking over their clients. A very smart dealer would go back to the manufacturer ask what their profit margin is and work with them to reduce the amount the manufacturer is willing to take. Car makers shouldn't be making cars that cost more than $60,000 unless it goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds and has a top speed of 150 + mph don't sell that shit like it's a super sport, when it's a super piece of crap. Manufacturers fucked over dealerships, dealerships fucked over banks, and the banks rolled all of that fucking over into one stinky pile of crap that they call a consumer loan. It's all a clusterfuck and the only way anything will ever get back on track is if the dealerships help their customers rather than hurt them. The dealerships need to take the hit from the bank and from the manufacturer and fight for their customers, for cheaper rates and an emergency halt on repo's and monthly payments. They need to retroactively offer good deals while they can. They don't need or want the inventory of pissed off customers that are A: going to run from the repo. B: Going to trash the car C: Dealerships are going to have to spend more time energy and money fixing up and re-selling the repo'd cars then it's worth. When it's all said and done they'll find a customer who is going to demand a fair price anyways. They could save a few unecessary steps and just inform the consumer that they are going to get treated right.

    I love your comments at 17:23. I am in California and last year I had an appointment at the DMV to renew my license. There are a lot of weird things that California state employees do while they are supposed to be working. In my case a DMV supervisor walked over to the clerk who was giving me the renewal paperwork had difficulty standing up. She was so drunk that she slipped and another clerk grabbed her so she wouldn't be injured. Why didn't this supervisor reach out to garb something so she could stabilize her fall? Because she had a drink in each hand while talking and walking, pretending to work while drunk. The other clerks seemed unaffected and was able to complete my paperwork. I did see one blind man ( white cane with red tip) trying to guess the correct eye chart letters. This is California where a fast food worker gets paid $20/hour = $41,600/year!
