idk exactly but from what i have seen it’s mostly dependent on when the building was constructed. so even in a crap city you might still be getting fiber to the home if you live in a newer apartment building. older apartments will mostly be adsl or sometimes weird things like where they snake and ethernet cable in through a window and who knows how that’s connected there’s a lot of new construction in china though so probably a lot of urban residents have p deece connections, and lte coverage is pretty good even in 3rd tier cities

lol at the dog being the one that isnt eternally eager to please its master. As if cats give a single gently caress about number. that take is bad and wrong. Dogs are cute but would gladly send you back into the salt mines if it meant they got one (1) pat on the head

Dogs are cute but would gladly send you back into the salt mines if it meant they got one (1) pat on the head that's not the joke being made. dogs have been happy as hell because their owners are home all the time. meanwhile lots of cat owners have been talking about how pissed their cats are now that the humans are always around

I heard someone on bbc maybe or somewhere else crooning on how this is a great example of liberal economics and The Markets because you see now the Price Signal is indicating value in taking away the oil and etc etc ~beautiful illustrations of my ghoul engine of which I ignore all Real consequences~

i keep hearing that all the restaurants are going to go under without more government support, even the nice ones, because they run on such thin margins that any significant period of not operating at 100% is a death sentence. i don't understand why this is the case though. like, the primary expenses of running a restaurant are rent, food costs, and labor costs, right? if you are not open then only rent is left, and the landlord will have a hard time finding another restaurant tenant right now, so they should be willing to work with you. so why are they getting hit so hard? do restaurants categorically just not keep cash in the bank? are they so levered up with debt that any disturbance brings the whole house of cards tumbling down? or could it be that restaurant owners, like all small business owners, are complaining to try to get a bailout because they are Pieces Of poo poo and i shouldn't listen to anything they say?

DELETE CASCADE posted:if you are not open then only rent is left, and the landlord will have a hard time finding another restaurant tenant right now, so they should be willing to work with you. lol. lmbo. rofl!! look at this clown who believes in rational actors!!!  some landlords, yes, sure. there's already plenty of evidence that residential landlords are being massive pricks, so i have little doubt that there are plenty of commercial landlords doing the same. especially when at least some restaurants are doing pretty alright on takeout/delivery business (i know a local chinese place that's regularly quoting people 30-45+ minute wait times in the evenings) so i'm sure there's plenty of landlords saying "just offer takeout! what's so hard about this??" quote:so why are they getting hit so hard? do restaurants categorically just not keep cash in the bank? are they so levered up with debt that any disturbance brings the whole house of cards tumbling down? i could be talking out my rear end here but it's probably a good idea to assume the average american business is levered the gently caress up quote:or could it be that restaurant owners, like all small business owners, are complaining to try to get a bailout because they are Pieces Of poo poo and i shouldn't listen to anything they say? and yes, i'm sure there are restaurants who are in fact Doing Okay (comparatively) and are still lying about their state of affairs so as to try to score some cash

I thinks it’s a super high sensitivity to demand, pretty fixed and unrecoverable costs, and just because of the failure rate lots of them are new and levered to hell to get going Plus I’m sure owners suck money out as hard as they can because poo poo could go to hell any day

yeah that's basically what "thin margins" means. income only just barely exceeds expenses so there's no room left to build up cash reserves or quickly pay down debt franchises with corporate backing should be fine so at least there's that to look forward to
