2. We have met the stupid and they are us. Can't entirely blame the auto industry.
Yes, we are the ones who wanted the big cars and trucks so Detroit just obliged. That's what businesses do--provide customers with the desired goods and services. We called the tune and Detroit played it and now they are suffering the consequences of having given us what we wanted. Now that gas is relatively cheap now, people can enjoy driving their gas-guzzlers again. It's just that Detroit is unable to sell many new gas guzzlers anymore.
