Example, what is the number of new cars made every year that go unsold and sit in lots indefinitely. I have seen pictures of acres upon acres of them.

I see this view every day. It is likely a picture of an import or export lot. The cars get sold. Do you really believe manufactures continue to make products no one buys and just piles them up? Especially products that cost tens of thousands of dollars?

More is not always better. Extrapolate that to clothing, dry good, housewares etc...

It really seems you are getting off topic here. Maybe it isn't what you want, but reality is jobs change and people need to advance with it. If I tried to do my job, the way it was done when I first started, I would be unemployed. I would fall way behind and be fired. Automation has given me the ability to do the work of what 10 or so would do back then.

And the end result? We do more. Now the calculations and design I produce take in to account much more data and information and is produced in less time. My firm can do more work, our clients can afford to hire us for more work. Their production grows at a faster rate as well. The produce more at lower prices. Their buyers can produce products at lower prices, consumers get access to more products at lower prices, or more features.

I just don't understand people that expects technology to stop and never grow.

We are called dinosaurs or in my case old time cowboy born 100 years too late. You want to hear funny, software engineer for over 25 years, go figure.

And to point I do believe we make more than we sell that is why a new Tahoe costs $60K instead on $30K. They have taken the defense contractor process of overcharging to the private sector.
