Isn't that then a really good argument that relying on markets is decidedly not the way to go, and that socialism, for example, is more fair and just than capitalism? In the end, we all want a society that's "fair" to the largest amount of

Oh, so bringing up his timestamps was for that... you guys weren't talking about the format per se. Sorry about that, completely my fault for misunderstanding.

I don't think putting the blame squarely on the managers is a wise thing to do. Bad managers are symptoms to larger problems of society. A better goal in this case is getting people informed about the truths and the back stories of our nice

Agreed, revolutionary. In a way, it costing $7000 (rather than being free or nearly free) goes further in lending it credibility. I do wonder though that still for those who would have trouble affording even that, would FAFSA provide aid/lo
