Epic Economist, "America's Auto Industry Is Falling Apart - Here Is Why"

"America's Auto Industry Is Falling Apart - Here Is Why"

"The American auto industry has quietly reached a breaking point - and almost nobody is talking about what's actually happening at every level of it. From dealership service bays sitting empty by the thousands to federal mandates that will turn every new car into a surveillance device, from ethanol fuel destroying older engines to parts for basic models simply disappearing - the industry that built this country is coming apart from every direction at once.

 In this video, you'll hear from ten people across America describing what their work and their cars actually look like in 2026. A twenty-year master technician walking off the dealership floor for good. A young mechanic explaining the thirty-thousand-dollar tool investment a starter is expected to bring on day one. A cybersecurity expert walking through Section 24220 of the Infrastructure Act, which mandates AI cameras, eye tracking, and driver monitoring in every new car. A driver pointing out that the 15% ethanol federal fuel mandate is corroding fuel lines and gaskets in every pre-2010 vehicle on the road. A shop owner explaining why he can't find parts for a 1980s Chevrolet anymore. This isn't one problem. This is the entire industry collapsing in slow motion - workers walking out, new cars getting locked down, old cars getting killed off, the supply chain falling apart, and almost no national press coverage of any of it.

If you've got a mechanic or a car owner in your life - send them this video. Drop your story in the comments. The shop. The tools. The car you can't get parts for. Let people see they are not alone."
