alt Hacker NewsI don't understand the economics behind bank branches. Some of the best real estate by me is taken up by giant bank branches that are always mostly empty with a few bored employees inside. And they open new ones all the time. So it's not like they're stuck in some lease.
But when those employees are meeting with clients, they create money out of thin air by making loans, which then is used to pay for goods and services such as leases.
