America claims to be a highly developed country. Then why is most cities in America look like dumps. Inner city is in decay and abandonned. Mass transit has no money. Where is the bullet high speed train in America? You don’t have any. You have a subsidized nonprofitable old Amtrak system that has nothing to brag about. Your cities all look alike, lined streets with fast food restaurants and other franchise businesses that look the same no matter what city you visit. Traveling in america from city to city is not necessary, just go to one and you have seen them all, they all look alike. China is often called a developing country, but yet, its infrastructure includes modern single needle brigdes, high speed trains, mass transit systems of the 21st century and more and taller sky scrapers than the best in america. USA talks a good game, unfortunately the rheteric of USA as the best place to live is an illusion. USA is good for making money, not living in. USA has no barriers of morality or shame, USA is a place to make money and do bad things and get away with it. Values promoted in the USA includes: greed is rewarded , shamelessness is necessary, integrity is not necessary, humility does not get you anywhere and is considered wimpy, loud behavior and loud personality is considered good traits, cheating is rewarded and encouraged. I am so glad I am able to leave satan america and live with integrity in china. usa is for white people because their values match well with that sick country.
When you purchase a building/franchise and open a branch of a popular store, do you get to make your own rules?
A few examples:
Could I open a Blockbuster and charge different prices for rentals and late fees, not to mention have different policies for rentals (when they are to be returned, etc.)?
Could I open a McDonald’s and decide not to run MY restaurant the same as others?
I’m very confused about how franchises work as far as regulations are concerned. I understand not EVERY store will be the same–A McDonald’s in Japan will not serve the SAME food as a McDonald’s in Brooklyn. But I don’t understand how a store can say, Okay, the Burger King in California might sell their fries for $2 and they only take 1 minute to make, but here we sell our fries for $5 and they take 5 minutes to make.
Who makes the rules for franchise businesses?
