Even six flags is investing in solar. It's pretty much the cheapest energy you can generate for certain long term buyers. It will be interesting to see what batteries get installed in some projects.
Nope not asking businesses big and small to prepare for this. The big businesses should have not bought back stock and we should only have needed to bail out the small ones. The small businesses I acknowledge are largely screwed by the system. You should be protesting the with people that...
The reality is the virus causes exponential disruption. The reality is that a lot of businesses did not save up enough cash to exist while experiencing that disruption. It being not as bad as we thought means that we "overreacted" enough to keep the spread down which is a good thing.
Universal should be in one of the easiest positions to postpone their next park and allocate cash to invest in current parks to keep things afloat. The depression is gonna crush everyone.
Seeing the people in japan still posting like nothing is happening is concerning. I think they prob would have well delayed this into the Olympics. Glad they cancelled.
People just are not able to come to terms with exponential growth especially when it affects things they enjoy, "getting ahead of ourselves" says you. revisit this is two weeks and tell me how you feel.
I would like to know If i have it. I would like to help others and assist at hospitals and not be scarred or a risk as recovered . People in italy have been dying so fast they cannot even account for them in the system until later. We are like 10 days off of that or less. we do no even know if...
My company today laid off a lot of people. We apparently do "essential" work so I am not laid off. I do not think that quitting thinking I am at personally less risk to infect anyone is beneficial over desperately trying to implement safety policies and buy protective gear for the other people...
This is going to be much worse than that. This is likely going to be about survival. I wouldn't count on six flags or cedar faire making it through this at least not in their current form.
Not sure how this would affect expansion now but the Olympics are likely getting at best moved and at worst cancelled.I would expect this to be the last major project at the park for quite some time.
Whatever you think will get pushed back is going to be spread out over years at this point. Every other project on top of these likely just got canned.
HHN makes a lot of their profits on packing the park to sell express pass. There is a serious risk that crowds are down enough that profits tank hard. I could see them cutting houses and nights to try to boost express back up. unemployment is going to skyrocket to absurd levels by HHN.
We need to prepare ourselves for this being a new great depression. I for one expect any and all projects to be cancelled not far enough along. Epic universe will not happen for a much longer time. The parks will be cutting coast and discounting to get people in. Disney faces a reckoning for...
