**1) **New York City isn’t *wasting* any time solving its heaping, 24m-pound-per-day trash problem, and with a new $1.6m, [**95-page study**](https://dsny.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/uploads/reports/future-of-trash-april-2023.pdf) — a great read by the way — the city may have bagged a solution with a process known as waste containerization. The biggest drawback? The plan could get rid of 150k (10%) of New York’s residential parking spots… Oh, and [cost](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/03/nyregion/garbage-containers-nyc-adams.html) hundreds of millions of dollars.

**2) **Five… Five billion… Five billion in financing for the [footloooong](https://thehustle.co/the-rise-and-demise-of-subways-5-footlong-promotion/).** **Subway, valued at $10B+, has been seeking a sale since at least February, and adviser JPMorgan is now offering a $5B debt financing package to help sweeten the deal. That’s a lot of bread! Despite closing a net of 3.2k domestic stores between 2020 and 2023, Subway leads US restaurants with [**nearly 20.6k stores**](https://www.qsrmagazine.com/fast-food/report-subway-devises-debt-financing-package-aid-sales-process). Starbucks, in second place, has 16k.

**3) **Taylor Sheridan’s cowboy dramas have been a cash cow for Paramount, to the tune of $500m+ annually. Costs have included [**$500k per minute**](https://www.wsj.com/articles/yellowstone-show-taylor-sheridan-paramount-production-costs-67e634ee?mod=hp_lead_pos5) of the first season of “1923,” renting Sherdian’s $25-per-cow cattle herd, and up to $50k a week to film shows on Sheridan’s 266k-acre Four Sixes ranch in Texas, which he bought in 2022 for $341m+. ​​Talk about vertical integration.

**4) **The cost of this weekend’s coronation proceedings for King Charles III ran in the [**£50m-£100m**](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/05/king-charles-iiis-coronation-set-to-cost-the-uk-up-to-125-million.html)** **range ($63m-$125m). For reference, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne in 1953, the pomp and pageantry cost an inflation-adjusted ~£50m, and George VI’s coronation in 1937 rang up a more thrifty ~£24.8m. With the holiday weekend, the UK’s leisure industry is expecting some royal treatment of its own by way of a £350m boost.
