My recurring costs are a little over $1k monthly, it took about $4k in start up funds, and last couple days I've grossed about $1k daily. Will provide evidence to anyone willing to wager $100 on it.

I'm drunk and willing to bet on myself. Id bet my practice grosses north of $350k in 2019. Who wants the under. GET REKT
I assume the 40% of their receivables you will be keeping covers all of their office "expenses," including full secretarial/billing support?

If so, then it seems like a pretty fair deal.

Anyone know why LetsGamboool is banned btw?
He had a little nutty and went too far trying to make a point.

Chez slapped him with a temp-ban for no reason, then lied about it, and then LG got mad and left a bad 2p2 book review on Amazon.

Like I said...

Except for the bits that trolly is making up.

I appreciate he has a sad on about LG but that's no excuse for making stuff up and accusing me of an assist in LGs ban.
08-18-2018 , 10:46 AM
Just STFU chez. No one wants to hear your retconning.
08-18-2018 , 10:49 AM
LGs ban is quite a significant event. The record shouldn't be distorted whether you like it or not.
08-18-2018 , 10:51 AM
I mean re-reading that bet thread just shows you off to a T. One would assume someone who came over from SM****ingP would have some basic logic skills, could follow the thread of a discussion from A to B to C, but there you are mysteriously ****ing up the thread ignoring the obvious fact that LG made a **** ton of money, had offered Wil numerous outs, and wasn't angle shooting at all and supporting Wil's multiple angle shoots. Solidifying your position as one of 2+2's worst posters who subtracts from the forum with every post you make.
08-18-2018 , 10:56 AM
yea really, shut the **** up chez you are dishonest and horrible

The logic is all fine. The positions are fine.

I have never ignored the fact that LG offered Will lots of ways out. I don't share your view on Will and have pointed out that he did pay up with absolutely no problems. You can;'t stand the fact we disagree a bit about Will but the key evidence is that he did pay up as soon as I declared LG the winner.

None of which is anything to do with LG getting himself banned from 2+2. That was entirely down to LG.
08-18-2018 , 11:09 AM
ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS, *if you dont count the fact that they had to temp-ban him because he was being so obnoxious and stubborn trying to angleshoot a win in the most ridiculous way

**** you chez

I mean, this is such an obvious lie it’s hilarious. Who are you even fooling here, chez? We all just got done re-reading the prop bet thread!

I see the Chez Slaw ate a temp-ban.

LOL
08-18-2018 , 12:34 PM
If chez was temp'd for his posts here, that's ridiculous

If he was temp'd as some kind of meta-commentary on his LG temp-ban, then... I'll allow it :P

The combination of highway traffic and slow public transit have enormous implications for another major problem in the US, housing: people have to either live close to their jobs in economic hubs, spiking demand and creating insane situations like the SF Bay Area, or suffer through hours-long commutes each way.

So, I'll give Elon credit for this: he's working on this problem. Maybe the idea with Dodger Stadium is to provide a working example to the public, that thousands of people use every day, that this sort of thing is viable and we need to do more of it. Maybe this is the sort of project that's necessary to prove these things before cities will take a chance on larger projects, or maybe revenue from something smaller like this is needed to fund larger projects. Look at Uber, which is an amazing system for siphoning money from venture capitalists to average joe drivers (they're still losing a billion per quarter) - it would never have existed if they didn't first get a bunch of people to sign up for their order-a-black-car-on-demand service for rich shmucks.
Not sure why you think I would want to dunk on this take??

I think all of Musk's weird tunnel shenanigans are interesting, but it's hard to see how they can actually work. For example, the Dodger Stadium thing has an upside ridership case of 250k people per year, which means their revenue at $1/ride is $250k a year, which is the topline revenue for a week at a Subway restaurant, not a year for a real subway line. The optimistic explanation is that this is basically a case of building a prototype and trying to use it to drum up favorable publicity/learn about real-world operations. It's not really an example of what a real-world system can be like.
