Their money supply has dried up, and they are unable to trade used cars with a profit.
I can’t help but wonder whether things like the Patriot Act here in the US, where bankers and brokerages must report all kinds of suspicious activites might have had a hand in some of this. The Patriot Act is more than just something my idiot Senator Russ Feingold opposed because of its ability to listen in on conversations.
Anyway, funny how everything always reverts to a focus on money.
