> The Living Computer Museum, it turns out, cost millions, over ten million a year I don't get how it could cost 10 million / year

  Real estate, specialized expertise, expensive repairs. It adds up! I also suspect monthly insurance is insane. 10 million is not even a lot - a typical McDonalds can cost over a million dollars a year to operate.

    a typical McD generates a tad more revenue though...

      Which is probably why we have more McDonald’s than computer museums.

    A typical McDonald’s costs over $1M — just in salaries. Here are the 2023 numbers. https://www.franchisechatter.com/2023/09/25/fdd-talk-mcdonalds-franchise-costs-fees-average-revenues-and-or-profits-2023-review/ https://www.franchisechatter.com/2023/09/25/fdd-talk-mcdonal...
