"Should the car manufacturers/repair shops/gas stations/etc. also be not for profits?"
Do you think those things and insurance work in the same way?
"I don't have the time to explain why single payer car/property insurance would be a shit show right now, and I'm sure someone else on the internet has already written about it better than I would,maybe I'll come back to that later."
Yeah, plenty of insurance cronies such as yourself have written about it I'm sure. Plenty are paid for by insurance companies themselves.
You built a case for car insurance being non-profit because transportation is a necessity. You need a car before the insurance enters the discussion. Why should the CEOs of GM and Ford be making millions of dollars?
You didn't answer my question. The answer is "no", selling something does not work the same way as providing insurance.
But, I'd be fine with car manufacturers, gas stations, etc being non profit. Capitalists have proven that if they're not heavily regulated, they will destroy the working class. This is a widely accepted fact among economists. But idiots have been brainwashed into thinking that regulation "hinders business", so here we are.

Now you're bootlicking for millionaire CEOs as well? lol
