Do you suppose that they intend to make cars so expensive that people will be back to places like Holland or China where most people move about by bicycle?

I dunno. The other day I read an article in the lamo santa cruz newspaper which said that big business will be moving into pot growing soon. So this caught my eye.

I think they're missing an opportunity by not putting blue fenders on it, tho

In America? Never! They will just keep raising wages so everyone will
be able to own a car.

Henry Ford, of course went the other road. He built cars cheap enough
that almost anyone could afford one, but that is old economics. You
know, save your money, invest wisely, don't buy things that you can't
afford.... (old fashioned stupidity!)
