Briansd1. We can agree to disagree. Manufacturers would still be under competitive pressure from other Manufacturers. What you would essentially do is eliminate this BS notion of MSRP and then discount. Better supply chain would allow manufacturers to produce in real time. It would take gyrations out of the production cycle and create lower pricing form the get go.
Dealers all pay the same price for cars anyway. What I am suggesting is offer a dealer direct price to the consumer.
By the way your analogy of Drugs from the standpoint of Drugs working under and insurance system and life and death decisions can’t be accounted for in an economic model.
