Raising rates only hurts the borrowers, whichnis most people. What they need to do is stop printing so much money. Likewise a national sales tax or VAT would also affect the people who can afford it the least the most. Even a "millionaire" tax would likely affect the ones of the bottom of that class more and take them down and serve as a barrier to entry for other people rising up the scale.

The car market more closely resembles the Great Depression than anything else. For instance, interest rates surged during the 1930s, reaching a whopping 20 percent in 1932. The Great Depression was marked by massive layoffs, which we are starting to see at all three U.S. automakers right now. Also, the ridiculous prices of vehicles is perhaps the biggest similarity to the Great Depression. During the 1930s, since the average joe couldn't afford even the most basic new car, automakers survived off of their most expensive vehicles.

I really love your channel, you really have a lot of love for cars and the automotive industry, and it shows through. That being said, you're a little more guilty of click bait in your title than usual, and it paints a picture that isn't backed up with facts. This is a very complex topic that cannot just be boiled down to simply saying that "The Fed" crashed the car economy. Firstly, to say that the car economy has crashed is not even close to accurate. Manufacturers (and dealers) spiked car prices during the COVID years at a significantly higher rate than overall inflation. That was partly due to supply issues along with labor issues in getting product manufactured, but it was also plain greed. They were able to charge more because there was no reason not to. People continued to "vote with their wallets" by continuing to purchase cars even with market adjustments into 5 figures in 2020 and 2021. Looking at "days supply" metrics, only some manufacturers are seeing a truly significant slowdown (Stellantis a primary victim), and this is due to over-manufacturing along with lack of adjustment in car prices until relatively recently. Secondly, Interest rates are most definitely up, but the alternative to this - lowering rates and allowing inflation to run rampant again - is absolutely absurd (I personally would prefer not to see my grocery bill double again). Historically, the current Federal Reserve interest rate is lower than what was considered normal and is only "high" when looking through the lens of the interest rate drops following the 2008 housing crash. Inflation needs to stay controlled. Finally, you keep defining what is going on in the automotive industry as a recession throughout this video. A recession is defined as economic decline for more than 2 consecutive quarters. While the automotive segment has declined approximately 1.4% this quarter, it grew by 0.5% the previous quarter, and as recently as Q2 in 2023 it grew by 3.6%. We are simply seeing a market correction right now, no different than any other segment goes through - ups and downs.

I get business side of things probably more than most because I have owned my own business. Dealers will be able to survive on service without a doubt. The vehicles have too much that eventually everyone has to take it to get serviced. As vehicle cost more it gets more reasonable to buy warranty to extend the life and reduce the cost that drives sales down but keeps service up. Sales side both mfg and dealer are to blame. For example putting way more markup on certain types of vehicles is bs. The truck market has funded a lot of others. Dealers are greedy and most only sell on price not actually sell. The mfg has a upper hand cause they can lower production to try to keep up margins and reduce costs. As a result sales will slow.
