I’m glad they explained why RAM has become soldered to the board recently. It’s easy to be cynical and assume they were doing it for profit motive purposes (which might be a nice side effect), but it’s good to know that there’s also a techn

And I can guarantee most people ignore them. Any time you book anything on travel, hotel, or airlines you get a daily stream of useless “prepare for your trip”, “we’re so happy to have you”, “there’s still time to upgrade to first class”, e

Operating the restaurant at the current size might not provide enough revenue to pay for the expansion costs (more rent, renovation of the space, etc.).

If that’s an option, yes. But for many it isn’t. The building isn’t owned by them. Or there’s no available space next door to expand into. Or the capital cost of remodeling that new section is too high. Or the profit margins are so small th
