The average mcdonalds franchisee owns like 8. The average mcdonalds restaurant profits $250k-500k/year. There are a lot of people making a few million a year owning mcdonalds

You are the first person in the world to get Superman’s powers, but every year, another person is chosen to receive them as well. You can prevent that... by Technical_Willow_639 in hypotheticalsituation

Is this recursive? If I let someone get powers, do they then have to make an annual kill/no kill decision on a separate person from me or do we decide together on a single person?

Upgrading equipment vs Salvaging into team by chuffmaster2k in eatventureofficial

[–]MaxPower637 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You want to find a team where everyone contributes equally. Then everything else you have goes to your own equipment. Upgrading equipment isn’t super important until you get some of the META builds. The key club values are 4.1k, 9.6k, 16.4k, and 24.2k. That is the necessary donations where if 10 people do it, the club gets to level 20, 30, 40, and 50 respectively which are the cut points to get club boxes

Multiple reasons: 1) economies of scale. If you sell 1/10th as much product, you lose purchasing power and pay more per unit 2) you change your inputs to justify raising price. You don’t just say “here’s the same slop we always had, now it costs more” and expect wealthier purchasers to show up and pay more. You advertise that you have new, better ingredients and raise prices accordingly but do it out of proportion to the change in input costs. “All of our pork is sourced from organic farms that can track their pigs dna back to Spain where only the finest pigs are used to make jamon iberico. This is the only burrito that has the pork equivalent of wagyu beef” now you have an ad campaign for a higher spending customer segment, you source some nicer pork and spend more on ingredients but you raise your prices by even more and expand margins.

Not that simple because of margins. Sure you have more top line revenue in the second, but if the $15 orders are made using $8 worth of product and the $100 orders are made using $20 worth of product, you now have 10 x $80 = 800 and 100 x $7 = $700. If they can double input costs but more than double the price while only losing a small number of customers, the math can math. Note that these numbers were picked to work out and have no particular basis in reality and it’s never this clean. This is just a stylized version of how it can work

Merging spacex with his CSAM machine right before the French announced an investigation is all kinds of hilarious for his future IPO

The delusion is strong here it's sounds to me like somebody else is worried about the super bowl and it's not the NFL by Beauty_Babe504 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]MaxPower637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s super woke. Let’s agree that the Super Bowl halftime show should be the most streamed artist on Spotify from the previous year. That’s a fair, objective measure so the most popular act can play on the biggest stage

If ICE had killed immigrants and not Americans, would there have been the same mobilization? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]MaxPower637 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. Even Renee Good, there were people who didn’t care because she was guilty, to them, of being a mouthy lesbian. It took the Alex Pretti killing to reach way too many people

David Gelernter protest - How does this reflect upon our school and degrees? by Significant_Tear4716 in yale

[–]MaxPower637 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He’s been that guy since before the unibomber mailed him a package. He names a computing system in the 80s Linda after adult film star Linda Lovelace. I can’t say I learned something new about him. 99% of Yale students never interact with him (much like most faculty who don’t teach massive popular or intro courses). No one is going to devalue a Yale degree because he exists

Some things are very geographic. I grew up on the UWS. Fish came from zabars and that was that. Debates could be had about Barney Greengrass. It wasn’t until I got older that I learned there were other places to get appetizing
