    Quoted from plowpusher:

    Round 2 off PPP is going on now and they are taking lost revenue into consideration so might want to give it another try

    The calculation is still based on payroll.

    Problem 1 : Tim has no interest in paying good techs.

    Problem 2: it’s doubtful he’d be able to find the team of techs he needs, even if he was willing to pay them well.

    Well we can see how successful it is. The people going there over and over don’t know the first thing about pinball. If 50 of the 300 work kinda, that’s 50 more games they’ve seen in their entire lives.

    Tim said 2022 had massive revenues. We will see soon enough. That’s with horribly maintained games. Why would he change that? Sounds like if things went badly enough, he’s just gonna close the doors and walk away.

    Quoted from PtownPin:

    I agree....it all kinda makes sense now...this is a short term project, which is very unfortunate

    Even if it was long term, I doubt it would change things for the game maintenance issue.

    Quoted from flynnibus:

    can't imagine how they keep hundreds running

    They don’t. That’s the secret.

    Quoted from barakandl:

    What movie is that from? I've seen it, just can't remember. 70s Sci fi movies are fun.
    If it was 80s security robot... [quoted image]

    This movie is incredible.

    They are a non profit. Doesn’t matter how much net increase in net assets they report (net income for for profit companies). They pay no tax.

    #1125 1 year ago

    Every non profit on earth is funded by donations.

    #1127 1 year ago
    Quoted from Black_Knight:

    How about Newman's Own?

    Funded 100% from the donated sales of newmans own products.

    The foundation is a separate entity from the dressing company.

    Quoted from PtownPin:

    What about all the non profit hospitals that operate all over the country

    What about them? They get donations just like all other non profits.

    #1132 1 year ago
    Quoted from MrBally:

    Does the staff (Medical, professional and general labor) get paid? Or, are they all volunteers?

    They get paid. It’s rare what Tim is doing with paying nothing to staff or himself and donating most profits to charity.
