Reply #11: The used car dealerships here have very few cars on their lots,

[Pathwalker]

because no one is selling the ones they have. And the new car dealerships have no used ones for sale - period. Lots of new ones, though, but no one's interested. My husband's store is talking executives in 3 piece suits through changing their own oil - they're not allowed to do that for the customer. They can change batteries and windshield wipers, but nothing else. Many, many stores are closing their doors here in Michigan - but we've been ahead of the curve for awhile. I expect other states will soon look more like Michigan in the months ahead.

I did realize I was making your point - so many on DU think things are just fine.
