Instead of completely taking ownership over the company, Kroc could have worked something out with the brothers because if it wasn 't for them, Kroc would have nothing to franchise. This wouldn 't be something I would discuss with the producers of the film, this is something I would discuss with Ray Kroc if I had the chance.

Hiring the right type of people is hard, but to ensure everyone leaves happy is a must. Regarding time consumption and prices, we as consumers decide how much money we are willing spend on an item. We also decide how much time we are willing to invest on said item.

Insurance companies are businesses after all, and businesses need to make money to stay in business. When you agree to have your car repaired at a collision center of your insurance company’s choosing, you’re relinquishing control and trusting them to look out for

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave in the Republic, he alludes to two analogies. An analogy has two fundamental definitions: the distinction between the intelligible and sensible and the proportion of such ideas. The “Allegory of the Cave” helps to show what part of reality we can see and know and the other part of life in which we are trapped and unknowing to the possibilities.
