A dealership (or that’s how it works here) is obligated to sell x amount of cars (usually same brand or at least same group). They will just be sent the cars whether they sell them or not. So in a worst case scenario the franchise ends up with shitty cars no one wants and has to dump them on the market for shit prices.

The result is often that cost of maintaining a vehicle at a dealership is through the roof because they don’t have a healthy margin on new cars (or even lose money on them).

They also have very idiotic requirements at times to even become a dealer. Although supposedly they have loosened requirements and rules since no one wanted to be a dealership anymore here.

Yeah, even here in Europe most places that sell cars gave up their dealerships.

It’s a shitty business model that makes no sense for the owner.

Yeah stop giving fucking morons like this attention.

That’s the main problem in the world right now. Smart and genuine people are completely ignored and loud morons get all the attention.

“Hmmm what should we make an article about today? This scientist that found a cure to a rare disease, this philanthropist that saved thousands?” “Nah let’s write an article about this batshit insane moron that keeps screaming bigoted and racist things”

Making people angry = views/clicks Making people happy = no one cares

How stupid are these people? Why does anyone think Trump is good for business?

You sure about that? We were (EU) still doing business with Russia like a couple of years ago when it was clear they were corrupt and evil since forever.

Most politicians here have no spine and will gladly bend over as soon as they have the chance.

Yeah I agree. There has to be a bigger plan than this. In 40 years our children will see documentaties about the republicans pulling the biggest power grab ever and using idiots like Trump to actieve it. It’s not Trump playing chess here, he’s just a pawn. There are people behind the scènes pulling the strings.

If what currently is happening is really just throwing tantrums without having a plan then I feel sorry for how dumb most of america had become.

Man I wish my online friends were that easy to switch.

As soon as I mention Lemmy “what’s wrong with reddit”. As soon as I mention element “but everyone uses whatsapp/discord”.

It suck that 90% of the people are stuck in their old ways and refuse to try anything new.

Hell I almost got banned for even mentioning lemmy once.
