VW and BMW show strong car sales in Germany, China and the U.S. for the first quarter of 2012, offsetting weaker sales in the rest of Europe.

The car market in the U.S. follows the shrinking car market in Japan and Germany.

01/08/2008

The car markets in the largest industrialized countries Japan, Germany, and now the USA are shrinking.The car markets in Japan and Germany reached their highest sales numbers earlier than the USA and now are in steady decline. Is the US going to see a similar decline. With fewer jobs there will be less immigration into the US, and population numbers may stabilize. And people are likely to hold onto old cars longer in this economy, to save the money on car purchases for other essential needs like tution for kids, food, housing and so on. This is likely in the years ahead as unemployment exceeds 10% and stays high.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
