This would be more interesting if they showed more regional restaurants.

Can someone explain me why subway is so popular? I've eaten 2-3 times there, and every time I find it quite... lame

I see, thanks for the clarification ! :)

The only thing I got out of this is that to the Dutch we're the VSA.

Thihihih anal….

Comparing this locally, in my small city we have

• 4 Subways
• 1 McDonalds
• 0 Dunkin Donuts
• 2 Taco Bells
• 4 Starbucks (and an additional 3 inside of grocery stores and Target)
• 1 Burger King
• 0 Pizza Huts (well, sometimes Target sells mini Pizza Hut pizzas in their food court, but I don't think they count because they don't have the full menu, or deliver, plus 9/10's of the time I've been there recently the food court has been closed)
• 2 Domino's
• 0 Wendy's

Subway has always surprised me with how many of them exist. I find it interesting how similar and how different the local distribution is to the national distribution of said fast food places.

No, the number ist just the amount of locations they have in the US. Since I’m from Europe I‘m using „.“ as a separator for thousands instead of „,“ ^^

Nevada. Wow.

Yes exactly

All this is telling me is to move to Australia or New Zealand, I just worry about learning the language

Yeah, it's mostly New England and the northeastern US running on Dunkin.

Dunkin and Wawa.

Worth putting the most regionally disproportionate large chains

I am not an American and have never understood why some people are so obsessed with introducing universal health care at the federal level. Create this system for one state or sub-federation of states and see how this system would work. If it really is better, other states will eventually adopt this system.

i read fart food chains so i think i need to take a moment

Our leadership needs to fix this. We already couldn’t afford a home. Now we can’t afford to travel.

Look closely and you can see that the same thing happens with Domino's and Wendy's in terms of a density dip. Heck, pretty much the only two of the nine that don't are Subway and McD's.

> in a completely free market the price of life saving insulin is just very high

But that’s not entirely true. Yes it’s needed to live, but so is water. And water isn’t exorbitantly expensive. Insulin is VERY cheap to make and because lawmakers aren’t willing to combat evergreen-ing patents, competition simply all but isn’t allowed. If they’d allow generics to come to market, the price would plummet.

In a completely free market we’d have a race to the bottom.

Side effect I would say. In a completely free market the price of life saving insulin is just very high. And regulation seems to prevent effective cost competition. Newly developed drugs might see less investment if the US market weren't so juicy, I would give you that.

The only city of a good size is Christchurch and since the average is taken from all of Canterbury it’s prices seem low even though there not that little. The rest of the island is pretty sparsely populated and has very few people.

not their mRNA vaccine - that would be Biontech - Pfizer afaik did the heavy lifting in production.

Its because they franchise to anyone that wants to open one. They have no rules about it and will literally open a Subway in the same parking that has one inside a Wal Mart.
