surplus abandoned car graveyards

I know i typically dont blog about cars, partly for the fact that i firstly cant drive and secondly i never really understood cars but this just astounds me, by the time i have finished writing this and post it over 39 thousand cars will have been produced in this year alone, and it continues to rise every second .but where do they all go? what if nobody buys them?

well this is what happens

 Kent,UK

thousands of cars abandoned forevernever to be used and this isnt the only place with these mass graves of cars

USA

another place that falls victim this is just one of the many car graveyards in the usa

as the usa contains 4.9% of the total world production of cars

St Petersburg,Russia

Imported European cars fail to sell and wind up left to rust in an airport.




When supply exceeds demand, you're left with a surplus. Post-recession, families aren't running out and purchasing a new car each year. so Why should we produce so much and leave the remnants of which filling up abandoned lots around the world.

this leads to the question of why? why aren't these cars given to people in need, sold for parts etc. in 2011 59,929,016 cars were produced in the world in comparison to 39,759,847 in 1999, i believe this issue needs to be resolved as the places in these images are just a small selection of the bigger problem places like these exist all over the world, and for what? to be left for waste?
