If the food and service is good what incentive is there to write a review at all? It's additional work and time for nothing. I never write positive reviews for that reason. For negative reviews it's completely opposite. So complet

The interest portion is never destroyed though. If you loan 50k you might pay back 60k and only 50k is destroyed. Another wrong assumption is that loan gets paid back. Unpaid loans and interest are not accounted for and create a need for ev
