Reply to "How can this happen in America?"

The reality of it is there is no Chrysler. They are done. Have been for months just no one wanted to admit defeat. Sucks for sure but that is the candid truth. What did this guy think was going to happen to all his inventory? Did he think that once they got bought, IF they got bought, Chrysler is going to continue to make Vipers, Nitro's,and PT Cruisers?? No manufacturing establishment who buys Chrysler is going to leave it intact. That's bad business. It failed, why would you keep it whole? If the formula fails you change the formula. Common sense and happens every day. Bitter pill but you have to swallow.

But this is one side of the story and some of what he says does not make sense. Sounds like hype. He never states exactly what he bought. The land, the buildings, the rights to sell Chrysler products? What? If he bought the land and buildings then Chrysler has no rights to take those and he ought to be outraged. But that is unlikely. For all we know Chrysler owns everything and he just bought the rights to sell the name and product. I don't think this story is the whole truth. Franchises can be "purchased" many ways-it all depends on how the contracts are written. Seems to me if Chrysler is taking it away-they own it. Otherwise why isn't this guy lawyering up?? What does he think a letter is going to do? This smacks of BS to me.

Also he states Chrysler is going to give it to someone else. So those 50 employees and 70 local business people won't be out of work-who is going to work the new dealership?-just him and his family will be out. Again that sucks and I feel for him but I would like to know the whole truth first before I pass judgement on either side.
