    Brandon, I've been here since the very first laundromat. The way you speak about the restaurant being $20 a person & the way you speak about not splurging on a tesla yet. Let me tell you... You are so humble my friend.
    When i was a kid growing up dirt poor around rich people on Lake Oconee. I learned you can normally tell the people who earned their money vs those who had money left to them. The ones who earned their money tend to treat others better, without looking down on them.
    So if someone looks down on you for driving a 3k vehicle.... That's their loss. I appreciate all you do, and thanks for taking us on the journey with you. 💯

    Honestly depending on how big the cells are you can probably buy it and convert it into apartments. Idk anything about the legality or laws regarding how your allowed to build apartments in your area but that would be one idea.
    Would it be expensive to convert the jail to livable apartments? Oh hell yes no doubt about it.
    Would you be able to charge a lot for each apartment if done? Eh honestly I don’t know, I mean again depending on how big the individual cells are you may only be able to rent them as studio apartments. You know depending on how big your able to extend those cells.
    But then again there are always people looking for affordable apartments so I think you’ll have a easy time finding tenants

    Private prisoner transport and housing are a thing. An over flow facility for neighboring counties…For profit correctional services has a long list of legalities and ethical question marks. Wonder what they will turn the space into, recertifying a grandfathered facility with a state jail standards office…isn’t likely. A complete tear out is the most likely thing. Stripping the old facility of anything useable and putting it in a state surplus yard is how a lot of states handle old prisons and jails while selling off or reusing the raw building.

    Find out what the insurance wants for a buy back on the dump truck.
    It may be extremely cheap for you to buy it back and have the dump body pulled off to installed on a new cab& chassis truck.
    Unless you want the big bill for a new truck complete as a write off.
    I had a truck struck while parked, the insurance gave me full market value and the buy back was only 15% of the market value. So I got a nice check, bought the truck back for very cheap money then stripped it of every useable part that could be sold. In the I double the money of the pay out.

    Buy the cybertruck as for the company and use it to haul/advertise with it. If you can protect the interior it could be a good work truck depending on the job. JerryRig from "Not a wheelchair" has one for his shop and he and his crew drive it for work though I think now it's mostly for work so his guys drives it mostly. If the financials can be worked out I think it'd be a great perk for the company and a marketing tool for the business/yt channel. I'm sure your guys would get a kick out of it and after the honeymoon period wears off and everyone has driven it I'm sure it'll just be no different than any other work vehicle.
    It might give you an excuse to put a charger at work... maybe some tax breaks there...?

      @ I imagine it has to do with cost-per-mile.
      Here in my part of Ohio, the efficiency equivalent is similar to getting gasoline for 70 cents per gallon.
      Furthermore, the average person here still drives under 40mi a day, so on a single battery charge, that's the better part of a week.
