Paradoxish posted:I'm pretty confident that remote work has an outsized impact on things like restaurants or bars, especially in big downtown cores. The restaurant and bar landscape was way overbuilt anyway it also turns out that building your post-industrial economy on people shoveling 5000 calories into their faces three days a week has some real bad effects on society as a whole

McDonald's is still kind of affordable compared to other fast food, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're seeing legitimate sales growth.

Remember in the 2010s when McDonald's was in a full on panic because people were willing to pay $10 for a decent lunch at Chipotle instead of $7 for their poo poo.

euphronius posted:yeah don’t they want to originate the loan at the dealership so they can get fees when they sell the loan If a dealership gets a loan for you from a bank, the bank gives the dealership a rate. The dealership then can add on to that rate their “fee”, anywhere from .25% to 4% or more. That is usually where you hear people getting hit with horrible rates on car loans. The bank gives the dealership a pretty terrible rate to begin with, then the dealership adds the max adder possible to max out the interest rate. I don’t think these usually apply to the captive finance when financing directly through the manufacturer. But maybe. This video talks about it a little bit better. The third question that starts at 5:50 specifically gives a high level view of dealership loans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHkySbOUgnI

There was one McDonald's left downtown here and it was the only place near the transit hubs where people who didn't have a lot of money could get something to eat and get some refuge from the cold for twenty or thirty minutes. So of course the brewpub and reddit crowd shrieked about "crime" around that McDonald's until it closed. Now there's nowhere for the unhoused or working poor to get a coffee for $1 downtown. good stuff

It's funny because rightfully nobody likes the UK, even people stuck living here. I was going to add a "but" then realised I couldn't find one, it's totally self-inflicted. Sure, we were declining anyway but the rate is far swifter than the rest of Europe. And it's not just Brexit, though that is the headline, we've voted for neoliberalism for the past 44 years. No wonder the country is hosed, once you sell off the nationalised industries & let the newly privatised water companies pump poo poo into rivers & seas rather than invest in infrastructure because where's the stockholder perks in that there's gently caress all else to do but cut taxes & wonder why the Laffer Curve isn't coming true. We only lasted as long as we did because they found oil in the North Sea in '69-'71 & Thatcher used that to fund her taxcuts while the Norwegian used theirs for a sovereign wealth fund, the 4th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. $1.3 trillion for a country of 5.5 million. Going to go back in history & build the time machine from Red Alert and use it to travel to Grantham in 1950something and shake young Thatcher's hand, erasing her from history like Einstein did with Hitler.

So figure out _olt for the next vehicle and win a prize. But it’s probably so they can sell more Hummers and electric Silverados. I bet the Bolt production stops just as the Silverado production gets up to full speed.

If people figured out that dealerships were parasitic middlemen, they might have to find other places to leach off of. This isn’t to say the manufacturers are paragons of virtue either. Lots of scamming and leaching all the way down. Father Wendigo posted:The Chevy Jolt A pair of jorts.

also Im curious what counts as "downtown" for NYC since if it's just like. Times square that is purely an accounting of tourism and the infrastructure required for it (retail & entertainment centers in a certain radius + transportation labor). NYC is fuggin yooge there's easily a dozen areas across the various boroughs which would be "the downtown" that have different economic ecosystems. MTA ridership is a better metric and it is depressed bigly. It's great I love always getting a seat these days outside of very specific lines at very specific times
