Whine-a-thon!

Chevrolet has three times as many car dealers in the U.S. as Toyota, but sells far fewer cars. It would make sense for Chevrolet to close dealerships, right? But the dealership lobby is so strong that it has for years worked to implement laws that stipulate that the car manufacturers pay as much as $500K every time they close a dealership.

And so they're rubbing their hands together, it would seem, hoping for a portion of the bailout. The cynicism and greed is just appalling. Maybe we just deserve what's coming, like Veruca Salt and Augustus Gloop.
