Are you wondering why it's impossible to find cheap used cars anymore?

I've seen many discussions on this. It's not cash for clunkers which happened a decade ago to 1970s vehicles. As much as I hate Obama he is not to blame.

I have seen firsthand on what happened to my boomer parents. A car that would have ended up at a 'pick 'n' pull' style junkyard and recycled into the local community is now packed up in a shipping container and moved overseas through various car offer apps. My own parents talking to 3 people with thick Indian/Arabic accents trying to low-ball their car.

Even when you trade in a car at a dealership it doesn't hit the lot. It goes to a car auction site, gets bought by a foreign buyer, and gets shipped to Mexico or Africa.

We need to talk about this. You can't find a nice beater car for $500-$1000 bucks because they're literally syphoned from the country.
