re: Car Dealerships are Scum (Edited with Dealership)

It wouldn't be so bad if these useless pawns weren't foisted upon us: in state after state across this union, time and time again, the dealership lobby successfully defeats any attempt to enact direct-to-consumer sales.

Hey, if a dealership wants to hire salesmen in the traditional sense, and the market says, "hey I need that service," then so be it - that's a good thing.

But the market, circa 2024, doesn't want that. These individuals' entire industry is propped up by politicians who are paid with taxpayers dollars, to frick the taxpayers, all because Polly the Politician gets his political war chest lined. And what's bad is the remarkable number of state politicians who are directly involved with the car dealership industry. That ought to tell you all you need to know of the caliber of people we are dealing with. The reply from the guy above ought to tell you all you need to know of the caliber of people we are dealing with at car middlemanships. Across the board, a middleman is almost always a scourge to positive progress.

The guy I replied to is a proud car salesman manager. He's trash, his job title is trash, and he's a state-enabled consumer predator. Anyone participating in that occupation should be publicly castigated across the airwaves every morning at exactly 7:30 am during morning commute like they castigate the idea of a free and open market.
