This not the same situation. The owner of both the new and old local dealerships are probably local businessmen, just like the owner of the local cable company. Thus the majority of profits from those businesses will stay in the local economy. The owner of Charter is a large corporation. So any profit the company makes from the local economy will immediately leave the local economy and instead go to Charter shareholders throughout the country. While this may not effect a large amount of jobs, it definitely effect the quality of life.
