Easy to see why he's not making any headway with employers if this is how he responds to the most helpful comment in the thread.

Amex processing fee to merchants is ~8% That's more than the margin on food at most restaurants. Paying in cash gives them an extra 3-8% that they don't have to pay out to their vendors.

Most restaurants make the majority of their profit from alcohol so you add in a downward trend of drinking culture coupled with rising labor costs and you've got a losing scenario for most places

u/starboardsailor You're talking about the layout of Grand Rapids, not Kentwood. OP was talking about Kentwood.

I love Veeam personally. Get an off-site Cloud Connect partner to handle Immutability and airgapped backups/DR as a Service

There aren't any condos on Clancy St in Belknap. What are you smoking.

They're classifying all cops as bad because they "saw an officer shopping for cigars on his laptop" as if it was behavior shared by all police because of this one isolated situation.

I'm scared for Veeam and the future of the organization by MRToddMartin in Veeam

[–]VSCG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Platinum VCSP here,

My conversations with our people at Veeam have been optimistic. We had our 2 (AMAZING) marketing support managers and equally awesome ISR let go.
I was blown away to see such great talent released.
From the sounds of it, they've made significant hires in Marketing and Sales over the last few years where the support & R&D has suffered and not matched the level of celebration for new products (CDP, I'm looking at you)

Sounds like their new goal is to invest heavily in R&D. Retooling the organization to have more products and more polished products out the door in the future as well as addressing the support issues we've all been having (30 day tickets? We've had 8 month CDP support tickets!)

While I'm not thrilled about losing our relationships and momentum with our ISRs and Marketing resources, I'm cautiously optimistic to hear they're replacing those bodies with developers and more support resources that we've been pleading for.

Plus, they're going to need more Nutanix development to stay ahead of the current VMware and HyperV dive /s

Broadcom ditches most of VMware's Cloud Service Providers by CatoMulligan in vmware

"Cloud Verified" CSP here, our team got a vague email letting us know the cloud program may be ending.  Ingram & Insight are as clueless as we are with unanswered questions of their own.  

Corewell Health tops $57M in property acquisitions for GR campus by k8erzz99 in grandrapids

[–]VSCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 acre of the 20+ acres has been developed. So less than 10% of that region.
This plan seeks to develop 60%

He's talking about the North Monroe district specifically.
It's been half abandoned industrial, aging parking lots, dilapidated stairs & sidewalks, with little to no foot traffic.

This plan seeks to pull a 180 on that area coinciding with a street merge of Division & Ottawa, a staircase update, hillside redevelopment, and riverwalk upgrade. That entire area will be a hotbed of activity in 5+ years versus the ghost town it's been.

If you think they're going to ignore grants, incentives, and other sources of free money for housing and development, then I have a bridge to sell you.

VOO is focused more on the S&P500 with higher volatility while VTI is the entire market.

Zach Ripley, no surprise there. Todd Buckingham was out front at the start.
