Not really germane to anything. If billionaires are involved, it surpasses the norm.

On topic: one would think that people are prone to hang on to older cars and fix them instead of buying new when the economy is sour. As Angela says, not so. They put off repairs unless the car just stops running.

The economy affects just about everything across the board.
However, a well run business will always out perform a poorly run one.
