This is the future you all wanted. Without the domestic competition and with suppliers dropping like flies, the foreign car companies will not be able to meet the demand of the new market share meaning prices will skyrocket for cars. Without the UAW around, the foreign car companies will go slash and burn on their own employees salaries and benefits.

Supply Goes Down, Demand Goes Up means car prices sky rocket.


Enjoy

We will be ok eventually, soon we will be able to afford the $8,000 cars coming from China. Wal mart is your new used car salesman.

EDIT: I want to make one thing clear, I hope this is a nominee for the ownage of the year thread with me being the one owned. If that happens, that means things will be ok, but right now, I just don't see it.

EDIT2: Yes, $35K is an exageration, but the fact is that car prices WILL increase if the big 3 die.

That's can be right for temporarily.

Another competitor will come out whenever opportunity arise.. It's always been that way.

The numbers may be slightly exaggerated, but the effect is all but certain.

Because the complexity of starting and establishing a car brand is an overnight job. But you are right, there will be another competitor. We will be driving $8,000 cars we buy from Wal Mart.

Just the ones that allow you to install SETI on your client machines. If I can hold 2 jobs right now you can get one.

All that's certain is that you showed up to a single economics 101 class drunk and stoned and didn't understand a single word.

again, insulting me does no good. Why don't you explain why you think I'm wrong.

Oh sorry, I thought I was dealing with a non-idiot.

I thought about actually responding with a reasonable, rational response, but I see you're just trolling (and attacking people), so you're not likely to understand, let alone accept the myriad of reasons of why you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Don't worry, I'm sure China will be willing to build us war machinery. We just have to make sure not to piss off a country that China likes.

please explain. I only attack the people who attacked me. If you can offer a reasonable explanation why I'm wrong, than please do. I won't attack people who actually think.

You are 100% wrong because this is the wrong forum.

Why? Need my help understanding it yourself? Okay zippy, here's the simple part because this is the only aspect that your tiny little brain *might* be able to grasp if I use small enough words.

There will be NO DEMAND for $35,000 Civics. Automakers unable to meet demand? ROFLMAO!!! You might truly be the dumbest person in the history of the internet.
