============================
 ML> Survival of the richest. That's pretty much the way
 ML> of the world.
 RH> Like it or not, just have to go with the way things are.

It explains some life strategies people have, either playing
the game to the hilt and amassing as many possessions as
possible, or going the opposite route and disavowing the
game, via religion or philosophy or just plain defiance.
 
 ML> Most can be got from public records. If the raw numbers aren't
 ML> available, taking the gross receipts and dividing by a standard
 ML> meal cost would do the trick.
 RH> Still a lot of food for a lot of people. We've eaten in some sprawly
 RH> places but none that big.
 
The Hilltop was a big sprawling place, but it was
divided into 3 (sometimes 4) rooms with names like
Sioux City and Kansas City and Dodge City, each
seating maybe 300-400, plus banquet and meeting
facilities; so when you were dining, it was a big-place
experience but by no means reminiscent of a barn or
dining hall.

 ML> If you did the math suggested above, at its peak the Hilltop
 ML> served 6000 diners a day on average. Big revenues but also
 ML> big headaches.
 RH> Supersized headaches probably.

Headaches that killed the place.
