re: What industry “secret” do you know that most people don’t?

I worked in consulting. In our proposals, they would list all the senior people and key industry analysts that worked at our company. Most of these people did absolutely zero work on the project or don’t even know the project existed. 95% of the work was done by workers in India with some junior level US consultants doing the more complex stuff.

Buy low, sell high.

That Taco Bell thing is a complete bullshite urban legend that goes back decades lol. Y’all will seriously believe anything.

Gas stations don’t get 89 octane gasoline deliveries.

They blend it onsite by their pumps being calibrated to deliver two parts 87 octane and one part 93 octane.

That's interesting. I have family high up in consulting that work pretty damn hard. Senior project manager, etc. I'm sure it varies greatly between firms.

but I'll tell you the majority of hospitals in Minnesota (a huge healthcare market) were net negative last year.

It's similar across the country.

I see alot of hospitals financial statements, and like I said, most patients are net losers.

FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS and the industry just can't manage to make ends meet? $1,000 PER MONTH from each and every American man, woman, and child, and that's just not quite enough? We spend 50% more than the second most expensive country in the world (Switzerland), twice as much as the Canadians and the British, and the system is barely staying afloat?

Somebody is getting paid. Is it worker wages? Big pharma? Insurance companies? Equipment manufacturers? Government? All of the above?

Is it wasteful spending? Big bets that didn't materialize? Inefficient processes? Too much specialization?

What's the real industry secret?

How is there money for never ending new building projects?

I assure you "never ending projects" are not approved for all.

But it's like any other big companies, they can secure debt fairly easily with the banks because they're considered safe investments or they already have huge debts to them.

The majority of digital billboards from the #1 billboard company in the US steal your cell phone data every time you pass by one. They consider it geofencing, but they can capture your data when you drive by, so they can sell the info to their customers.

Example...
Academy Outdoors, during the hours of 5-7am, 350 plant workers pass by this billboard who have looked up a product you sell... would you like to purchase a repeating 10 second advertisement during those hours?
