Better paid teachers would help that.

This isn’t a politicians issue - well, not directly and one of the few that isn’t their fault.

Politicians have to be voted in. Any that tries to increase rates, costs or taxes gets voted out. Its not them - its us voting for our own interests… pretty good prisoners dilemma application actually. If every politician increased the costs we would all be better off - better educated students, more engaged teachers, follow on effects of lower crime and better work prospects - but if 5 potential have it as their platform and the 6th reduces the cost of living who gets in?

Not sure why you’re downvoted - its completely correct.

The “issue” with teaching and healthcare (in socialist systems anyway) is that no matter how good you are at it your organization doesn’t get to charge more. The system literally throws supply/demand out the window as 1, everyone needs it by law and 2, its free. Its done as a “cost to service” and that demand will always exist, and a budget will be applied to service it.

Before some smart ass comes in, there is technically supply and demand, but 1, supply is a wall and 2, demand is a straight line at p=0. Multiple economic theories can be applied, but its not the invisible hand theory.

Id argue they provide a catalyst - renting to those who can’t afford to buy yet, but allowing them to still have a place to live. They are needed - no one is going to buy straight out of high school or Uni.

Hes there thing though. They make soo much doing it that 1, people can’t afford to live due to high rent and 2, they have pushed the housing market beyond the reach of those who want to buy.

Fish are food, not friends

Comes with intestinal parasites and doesn’t speak English.

The evidence just keeps adding up

In restaurants people often get their own lane apparently.

To be fair it was called “America’s army”. Not CoD, not Battlefield.

Same.

Something soo satisfying about shooting snipers who thought you should stick the barrel out if the upstairs windows

Walks in after being told “don’t tell your brother you went out for lunch”.

“We definitely didn’t just have sushi” then plodded off as kids do.

You’ve never seen my bank account …

Not necessarily - less people means lower unemployment resulting in higher wages to attract people to your organization (income is directly linked to GDP). Phillips curve relationship.

Its a bitch for inflation though.

Yum

Don’t know about US case law, but UK and NZ, the pricing when selecting is considered an “invitation to treat”. When the product is actually brought to checkout an offer is made at the listed price on the checkout, which can then be either accepted or declined.

Was brought up after a business was done for selling switchblade knives that were only on display - as no offer was actually made and accepted they weren’t “being sold”.

To answer your question more directly, prices listed on advertising and boards are considered “invitation”, not an offer and acceptance. It can change until the final offer and acceptance is made - bullshit but legal.

THEY HAVE NEW ZEALAND

Its also only two distinct islands

Then they should have done a better competitor analysis… I’d have done it for 10% of what they actually lost on it.

Thats funny - business major here and gone over none of that. Well, I lie. You can profit max when you are a monopoly or in a monopolistic market - when potential customers have significant alternatives, competition and low disposable income… be damn sure you have a great differentiation strategy.

Managing risk, understanding your market and operating across multiple countries however - lots of lessons not applied.

8 years later - yup. Look at this thick, manly symbol of my lack of fucks.

Fuck you all, im going to go buy it out of spite

This was my thinking - this sounds and looks soo wrong but I’d demolish some.
