Random tangent, expecting a downvites. But In 5-10 years you're going to start seeing the effects. If not sooner

Kevin O'Leary today said ny/nj/Cali are not investible now - "why would we put money into high cost, corrupt areas when we can have talent pools happily working elsewhere and remotely. Big companies have been running heir back offices from cheaper states for decades, now every company can do it . Why would we keep going where doing businesses is more expensive for no reason.

We don't need centralized tech, law, engineering talent anymore either - why would I put money in NY where taxes and business costs are exorbitant and AOC is chasing away anyone who wants to bring jobs.. remember the Amazon deal? ........"

I'll add on to that - Amazon got proposed tax breaks for hitting job targets - 25k high paying direct jobs + all the support jobs in Amazon and externally to support a bise ss of that size and it's employees. .... 100 million year - there are multiple industries who gets bigger tax breaks than that every year and the are INCREAsING them this year. Where is AOC ont hose tax breaks ?.

Not to mention the 2 new schools, the 2 new job out reach training centers, green space, 2 improved subways

Glad we "got the 3 billion dollars back to spend on other things " (that money doesn't exist, because the revenue never occured that would have been given credit for .... )

Yes yes ny always survived etc - you HAD to be in NY to do business before , it's not the case anymore . Not to the same degree....

Florida finance scene going nuts.

Yes there is? Waymo.has cars in geofrnced areas giving autonomous rides ..

Train tracks like.ne corridore and keystone lin can't handle much more freight ....m

In ALL of those congestion zones, you get a variance if you live in the zone or immediately adjacent to it

But nywrs are too fucking selfish...hey to go where I pay to live and pay taxes I gotta pay a fee. Lol

and where do you think those highly paid engineers are going? prob to a tech hub since pitt seems to be unable to materialize itself as a viable spot despit ehaving many of the advantages that RDU, nashville, texas have outside of tax incentives.

but tesla says they have had full self driving autopilot for years! the stock price says its true /s

Locamation tech was to have driverless follow trucks, not fully autonomous trucks

Man that's insane I was flying for worn Sept oct 22, was 45 bucks each way to midtown

Dynamic pricing has ruined everything

There should be a law that if you raise the price due to short term demand spike you can't lower it . So you have some consequence of playing the game

When I watch airfares, they'll go up 2-3x for a few days to a week.. then drop back down to baseline. It's a scam to just try to catch a few higher payers etc

There's no back check to stop them from trying higher prices for everything then slashing it

It's every mayors corruption .

Bdb funneld over a billion to hos wife's passion project that yielded no real results. Administrators out earned treatment providers by 2x. Corruption

Getting anything done in NYC requires bribes and corruption

So all of the other kids should suffer?

are you serious right now?

burgh, sixburgh, pitt, iron city, city of bridges, the 412, city of champions, steel city, footbal city with a drinking problem, blitzburgh....

youre a true jagoff for making that comment, oh no, i used shorthand while typing on a phone

I said why. I happen to be sitting here and it was just utterly surprising. I've never seen anywhere else like it.

And no, Pitt urban centr, as I said in the beginning, is not a chain based place.

If you want to see one, go to Delco

Gone before this headline published

I was talking about your 2000 timeline

TV's have vastly improved since then

Higher barriers to entry mean less cuts parity. How many companies make TV's now

Have cars gotten cheaper in that time?

Haha pass savings on to consumer ?

I'm blaming all of them, but the comment I replied to implied the union contracts had no effect on the costs .

They've gone way to far with things , when they were redoing the intersection at 29th /9th Ave there was minimum 4 slow/stop people at all times during active construction.. I used to live close by so I saw it regularly. Sometimes there was 6. Sure it's a semi odd intersection bit it was insane.

And, that isn't a little ridiculous?

There was zero other equipment or trucks at the site. Literally nothing

Mentions overstaffed mtiple times. Last week I went by a site where they had one minicat w a jackhammer thing in it. One guy operating it and 8 other guys standing around

What rhe heck are all the fees now? faee, state fee, congestion, Imp surcharge 1; Extras 2.50

What are imp and extra?

What would the deal be w Wegmans ? Why would Wegmans oblige ?

I didn't know this was a thing, never been to one

A girl came to one of our offices today and gave us peanuts and discount cards to welcome us to the area , one person kept raving about the bread

So? Getgo is focused on a smaller area or used to be.

Sheetz has a metric shit ton of locations and they are battling w Wawa on it's eastern front. And royal whatever when you go towards maryland

Why move into crammed areas that don't fit their giant gas tankers when you can go over to York pa, build a new giant denovo location in cheap land in the next up and coming exurb. Giant eagle is also a brand in Pittsburgh, and has synergies w getgo

Where I grew up my favorite sheetz shut down. 2 years later they opened up a huge one a few miles down the road right next to another gas station ... Somehow I think that other gas station got more busy

Also rutters on the secondary main truck routes

That site is not appropriate for a drive through, like 4 cars wating and your into baum (moved 10+ years go so could be remembering wrong)
