>Every day in the United States, a large number of cars are being produced. Most of these cars never get sold to customers because people just can’t afford them. The car manufacturing industry can’t stop producing new automobiles because they would have to close their factories and lay off thousands of their workers.

That is an obvious lie. It is obviously more expensive to produce and scrap a car than to not produce one at all. What you do if demand is low is you produce less. It is economically more viable to pay workers for standing around than to pay them to build and scrap a car. So the excuse about jobs is another lie.

>Want to see for yourself? Do a quick search on Google Maps of Baltimore, Maryland, looking south of Broening Hwy in Dundalk, there you will see a massive expanse of space where many unsold cars are currently parked.

Which is evidence of what exactly? That cars exist that aren't sold? Surely that is no surprise.
