Capitalism isn't efficient! It's creates whole industries that have no other purpose but to lech off the system. Land lords, insurance, none rehabilitation based justice system, private/charter schools, car dealerships, military industrial complex, etc.
Car dealerships is a weird one in that list. That’s like saying one should go to cuisinart to buy a toaster rather than Walmart. They’re a car retailer…
Uhhhh the car buying process is so different than any other industry that comparing it to buying a toaster is disingenuous. What if I told you, "you're not allowed to buy this toaster from Cuisinart directly." Not only that but you must go to a store with a mark up to buy the toaster. Would you feel the same?
That’s fair. They act like a cartel in practice, not just a retailer.
