A lot of people hammering me for having a PhD in economics and knowing nothing about how the economy works: I plead guilty. I got a PhD in economics largely because I loved Freakonomics & wanted to study the data of sports & random things about people.— Seth Stephens-Davidowitz (@SethS_D) May 15, 2022
Thinking about how shocked people are that I didn't know about auto dealerships & beverage distribution as paths to get rich. Proves value of data.

I'll cop to the fact that I didn't know people who owned car dealerships made so much more money than doctors or lawyers, I thought those were all the same general type of rich people

“rich ppl i notice/know about” vs “irl rich ppl” are two different things & the ppl on the first ie your own may not even be ~on~ the second irl list idk its just that arrogance of thinking that what you personally know is the sum of knowledge

I remember realizing this when Kid Rock was at the peak of pretending he was some kind of Detroit-era white-trash-made-good hero and it came out that his father owned a string of car dealerships all over Michigan and he grew up in a house the size of your average art museum.

I wouldn't think 'car dealers' in general but the size of businesses - if you're employing hundreds of people in any context, I would assume you're pulling in a lot of income.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Monday, 16 May 2022 19:04 (one year ago) link
car dealerships are an enormous racket, and the dealers are rich and powerful enough in local and state politics to keep it that way
― mookieproof, Monday, 16 May 2022 19:31 (one year ago) link
A "new car dealership" is at a completely different level than owning a "used car lot". The dealership is a big business backed by a global multi-national business, while the latter might be scaled down to about the equivalent of owning a junk antique shop.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Monday, 16 May 2022 19:31 (one year ago) link
The economics of new car dealerships are bizarre and opaque - almost no profit on actually selling a car (despite the risk tied to having a $50k fragile piece of machinery sitting on an open lot), all tied into whatever side deals they can wrangle on financing kickbacks and extended warranties and $500 bumper film and shit.
