It sells cheap stuff that puts people outta work, that prevents other stores from competing with it on an equal footing, what I'm saying is that it has gotten to a size where it can't fail.

What about the people have to get the necessary materials for the car? Do they enjoy their work?
And what about the people who have transport the materials to the factory, and the people who have sell the cars to the people, do they enjoy their work?
And what about the people who have suffer the pollution and waste created by cars?
And what about the people who have to solve those problems? Do they enjoy solving those problems?

I have no real issues with cars. I have issues with the effects they have on our civilization. People say that they make our lives easier. That's true, but only for the people who use those cars.
