Oh dang, that is far.

Courts haven’t tested it yet, but yeah in Philly (for example) cashless is banned.

Ah, I never watched it, but thanks for the context!

Similar to laundromats, which also used to be great for money laundering enterprises, many of them are converting over to card/electronic payment only. While it increases costs (which they can pass onto the customers directly) it dramatically decreases risk by not needing to be vaults of cash and coins (if we are…

I swear this has precedence already since emissions defeat device places have been busted before, plus VW’s whole thing where 11M vehicles were impacted.

They also, at least on some types of washes, are able to filter and recirculate some of the water. Others seem to use less water in the cleaning stage, opting for foams and such. 

The only problem, early adopters usually are the only ones who really bank on the passive income of that type. Once things get too saturated, that’s when they will start singing the praises of whatever system it is, then try to offload theirs onto someone else as a favor. 

How far away is the airport/do you have a lot of flights?

Are you/the washes by any chance right off a major transit corridor? The car wash volume hasn’t changed much in decades in my part of SoCal but things are already supersaturated.

Yes, but is it still effective when people are paying with cards?

And children, but now they have e-bikes so I guess that is better?

They weren’t expecting it to take off as much as it did, but also recognized it may have been pure luck when you look at how RDR online fell off. 

If I recall, they do if it’s most anything that is going to touch you or go inside you. But it’s not FDA/USDA employees at every step, so they would test batches (this is where lot numbers are critical) of ingredients coming in, products ready to go out, and log it all.

I always question, how relevant is depreciation to the average consumer? If I am buying cars as real investments (another often misused word) or I am someone who buys a car every few years then sells/trades in to lower the cost of the new car, then it would be something to be cognizant of.

Depending on how much and what you cook, you could even potentially ditch most of your daily tasks. (Factoring in what the other things are and where you live). Since services were able to get a solid foothold this time round, you can have it all delivered. 

Wouldn’t a factor in all of this also be that young people continued to turn 16 and while the rates of them getting licenses has fallen over the decades, they will continue to add into the pool of people who may purchase cars. Likewise people who are entering the workforce will need cars. Many people did transition to…

Not everyone is moving that fast, dooring happens to people doing leisurely paces too. A big part of the problem is when that door opens last second, you’re on a busy road and have nowhere to move to in order to avoid the door. 

The Dutch reach also works in just making sure no cars are coming too. It is amusing that other countries have/had the same problem and the solution was to focus on the source of the problem changing their behavior while proposing such things here often have vocal opposition. 

I mean, since it’s a public company (well part of one) he literally could have just said “SP DLC isn’t worth the cost” and probably not dance around it.

Who leaves a bar parked next to the road? They were just asking for trouble.
