cracked Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 If you can point me to a store who will give me 10% off, I will buy there all the time. Until then, I'll buy at REI. And why shouldn't I do my part to keep REI afloat? Their salespeople have families, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Mountain Supply Join their club (free) and you'll get 10% off. Also for us Washington types, you'll save an additional 8.8% on the sales tax. $1.99 shipping is cheap.

cracked Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I don't pay sales tax anyway, since I've got an OR drivers liscense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Uh, bullshit, cracked. You pay sales tax all the time. Like on all those books you bought for school. The REI dividend is only 8% if you don't pay cash or have an REI Visa, btw. Clearly NMS is a better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 But that doesn't mean the cost of his education is covered by his tuition, does it? Come on, if you live in a state 9 months out of the year, you should be required to be a resident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 No, you're supposed to say, "You have no idea what it's like being an out-of-state student, you yuppie Sooby-driving sales-tax-paying tele-skiing imported Washingtonian. If you were in my freakishly large shoes, you wouldn't last a minute." According to this document (1998), my taxes help pay $6,710 per student per year, after tuition revenue and not including financial aid costs (a few hundred bucks). This thread is dumb.

jja Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 An interesting read on why college costs so much can be found here. For those that cringe on navigating to the National Review here's an excerpt. Why is college so expensive? Why does federal aid never really succeed in making college more affordable? These shouldn't be deep mysteries. For over a decade I participated in university meetings aimed at determining my university's annual tuition increases. The only real question was, "How much can we get away with?" And the only real worry was that, if we overreached, we might move to the dreaded top of the list for largest increases. Most years, it fell to me to draft a letter to parents from the Chairman of the Board explaining that the tuition increase reflected this or that combination of new construction projects and programs. Title IV funds and other federal financial aid are seen by colleges and universities as money that is there for the taking. Tuition is set high enough to capture those funds and whatever else we think can be extracted from parents. Perhaps there are college administrators who don't see federal student aid in quite this way, but I haven't met them. But I don't mean to imply that college administrators are driven solely by profit maximization. One reason that many prefer sky-high tuitions is that it enables them to act as social engineers. The larger the income from tuition, the more money they have on hand for scholarships for students who cannot afford the tuition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
