Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

Re: Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

Perception question regarding a small private school:

Tuition is ~$20k (excluding room and board), and they’re offering a year of free tuition to all incoming freshmen due to COVFEFE-19. All existing students will get a $1k deduction for next year.

If you were an existing student, would you be upset enough to go elsewhere? Would you be upset at all?

Caveat to this: the school is known as one of the most ardent Catholic schools in the nation.

Only 1 thousand for existing? I'd be ****ed.

It’s a puzzling offer. However, I know schools have lower enrollments right now due to pandemic as it concerns incoming frosh, so I’m guessing this is a way to beef up enrollment.

I’d certainly want a better deal than 1k off, but it also wouldn’t take much for me to flee a catholic institution.

I’d recommend rereading the parable of the workers in the vineyard.

At my paid job, they've told technicians if you refuse to work at this time, your case can be taken from you and given to someone else.

Guy goes into town at 7 AM. Tells everyone they'll get paid the same amount if they come work his vineyard. He's still getting people at 4 PM.

At the end of the parable, the guy who started early in the day is paid the same as the guy who started near the end of the day. The guy who started early felt he was robbed, and the owner said "I told you what I would pay you."

It's a great parable, truth.

Lesson: that dude doesn’t understand how to get people to continue working for him in the future.

When Apple buys Disney it will be like The Gatekeeper and The Keymaster bringing about the coming of Gozer.

Apple/Disney is gonna be the sum of all true evil...
