Majority of inflation is largely greedflation, i.e. corporate profit driven not in anyway compensational towards wage costs. Hell even the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics agrees.

I expect so, but most corporations aren't going to roll back and make less money than they do now. I read that the UAW workers want to make $100,000 a year after 4 years on the job. I don't see how that can make vehicles any more affordable.

Corporations will do whatever they need to maximize profit.

If people had higher standards, businesses would have to meet those standards in order to stay in business.

I don’t see how that can make vehicles any more affordable.

That's because you're not paying attention to the people who are making too much profit. They're having a fat payday because vehicles are expensive and employees are paid peanuts. There's plenty of room for vehicles to go down in price and employees to get paid more if the people making profit made less profit.

Keep in mind, they will still be making more money than you can ever hope to achieve.

Imagine thinking the automotive industry actively looks for areas to cut the fat and somehow simultaneously you manage to completely ignore the fact dealerships still exist

What are you talking about?

Try to avoid playing leap-frog with yourself and just say your stance in a direct manner.

Starting off with 'imagine' just tells me you're smug, but not correct.
