[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Character</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by futuremodal</i> <br /><br />Question for the so-called yet undocumented attorney: <br /> <br />When one plans to build a hotel, does he/she build for the expected average occupancy? Or does he/she build for the maximum occupancy? <br /> <br />Hint: The question is rhetorical to all but those in the rail industry. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />If you build everything for the maximum possible occupancy you'll go bankrupt every time. To say nothing of the fact that you'll never get the chance as your banks or other financial sources won't let you build something HUGE without justification. Why are business plans required, do you imagine, oops, forgot, you don't have an imagination. Obviously you've never actually had to run a business, a nice addition to your vacuous lack of credentials. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />So all those hotels and motels are going bankrupt every time? Those resturants that build seating capacity for the Easter Sunday crowd have all gone bankrupt? All those movie theatres built for the next big blockbuster movie have all gone bankrupt? <br /> <br />You build for the max, not the mean. Maybe if the railroads had adopted that maxim along with the rest of the business world, they wouldn't be lobbying the government for financial aid to rebuild their lost capacity from a few decades ago. <br /> <br />BTW, all the credentials in the world mean nothing without a legal name to go with 'em.[;)]
