Shouldn't community and public college be subsidized as long as the cash goes to improving teaching, research, and education instead of extra administration, fancier lounges, and bigger paychecks for the higher ups?
As time goes on and robots take over manual jobs people have to become smarter. Thus shouldn't the govt help out with this?
I know that if everyone gets a Bachelor's it devalues the degree, but don't you NEED more and better education as we, as a society, become more advanced?
Do I have the economics of this right /biz/?

>but don't you NEED more and better education as we, as a society, become more advanced?
Yes that's called the internet.
You can torrent every single popular book and things like Khanacademy and MITcourseware exist which teach you high-quality University-level subjects 100% for free to anyone with an internet connection.
How exactly do you plan on going about forcing university administrations to not use this infinite fountain of taxpayer money to enrich themselves at the expense of their alleged educational mission?
>>1047041
To add to this, things like that should be funded more, absolutely. But actual institutions should remain for profit.
I made a web application. I am getting users on from the waiting list and making better what they tell me is crappy. How do I get people to start paying for it?
>>1047004
premium option.
you can do >>1047181 and offer better services for premium option but you will need to work hard
or you can use ads but no one like those and they give shit money unless you have alot of traffic
or you can let them buy it as a whole but you need a solid fanbase to sell your app and it can get pirated easily
i prefer the first option
Should I sell my mutual funds now or ride out the storm? They dropped 4% since the start of the year and I'm start to lose money on them.
when you bought them a year ago what was your exit plan
you don't buy mutual funds to daytrade son. Just wait till they recover, a year, 5 years. wait.
>>1046697
Why would you sell at a loss?
I'm about to graduate with a PhD in Statistics. What kind of jobs are available to me? How much $$$ can I expect to make?
>>1046332
You should have known before this point.
statistics is a bretty gud major, you could get a solid analyst job
>>1046332

Ask somebody who makes 100k a year selling high quality SS uniforms and cufflinks.

Where do you source them? China?
Hi /biz/ I was unable to find any news about this. If this is a joke it got me good. Has this ever happened on reddit before? I am very curious about what went down. Give me your deets or guesses
>>1046071
can't say for sure whether or not it's a joke right now, but apparently it has happened before.
WSB ended up on /r/all and a bunch of normies showed up, so they shut the subreddit down.
Google the court order and see what it says
Is Mint.com a good way to manage my finances? I've decided to begin tracking my income/expenditures, and I'm looking at mint.com, or perhaps just using an excel template. Any opinions on these or other good methods of tracking personal finances?
Mint is great. don't buy anything they sell you.
i used it for a year
deleted my account because it didnt feel like my info was very secure
I don't know, but I keep track of all my income and expenses in Google docs.
I made a list of everything when I had no money to make sure I wouldn't end up in the red. And I never stopped updating the list.
Passive Income General:
I think it would be a good idea to start making this topic a recurring general, hopefully we can eventually even have a pastebin with the basics.
Does any one have good methods that haven't been mentioned a 1000 times e.g. write a book, buy and rent, etc. etc.?
btw just to be clear the SUCK DICK XD XD method is not passive but active kids
Buy some male prostitutes and rent out their dicks for sucking at your new dick sucking establishment.
>>1045737
you can't buy people on non-shitty countries, you can only rent them or employ them therefore that's a business not a passive income source
>>1045739
Shit, I thought I was onto something.
What I am personally doing is, I make so little money at the moment that whatever extra I have I invest in dividend paying stocks. It's nothing extravagant but it's better than nothing.

Hello /biz/, /vr/ here.
I'm not versed in financial nomenclature well enough to articulate something that is frankly starting to piss of the community, buy/selling/trading retro gaming consoles.
Some of you may be aware of some games like Earthbound that are going for 200 dollars on ebay. Well now this sort of insane pricing has bled into all sort of other areas.
Almost all retro gaming goods are marked up 30% from recent value. A lot of obviously not rare games are marked up to ridiculous amount. Is this the result of supply and demand? Because I actually...

Or, because they're collectibles, they're appreciating in value and the market is adjusting for that..
>>1045386
Thanks for the reply anon, I did not know of this term.
Further questions: Why are they appreciating? They are NOT "rare". For example, the nes sold 61 million units world wide. NES is extremely common. Why is it price so high now? Why does it appreciate? Can appreciation be faked/manufactured ?

Look into what ty was doing during the beanie baby fad of 91 and you will have your answer.
Long story short I own a small house which I "rented" out to strangers for under the table cash monthly, no contract, and I don't have a landlord's license. They are growing weed in the basement making the yard smell very clearly of weed. According to them, it is the legal number of plants and they have their growers license. It's not uncommon in my area and you can smoke on your property legally, etc, however it's not legalized in the state, and obviously not federally so if they are not doing things exactly by the book, it's no bueno.
I live across the state. How bad is this situation. What kind of liability to I have. Would the story "I just let my friends live there for free & I had no idea they were growing weed" even be plausible? If they are breaking laws (selling illegally/over-growing, etc) who is on the hook for it? Only them, or myself as well?
Thank you biz. If you have questions just ask.
You're going to get your house taken and go to jail.
>>1044725
Everyone is off the books and its your property.
If they say that you're just a friend and they didn't know you were growing in your own basement then you are the only one that gets fucked.
Plus you don't have a license, they do.
It's on YOUR property, not theirs.
You are in even bigger shit if they get busted.
OP here. My state is Michigan. The laws available online are a mess. If anyone can point me to some hard facts pertaining to Michigan in particular, I thank you.

seriously though, the stuff Schiff/Maloney/Molyneux have been talking about for the past few years is happening now
>>1044627
Libertarian here. Molyneux is a fucking idiot. Fuck his big chin face and his retarded philosophy.
Schiff turns out to be right most of the time though.

oh, i only watched like one of his videos and just assumed he was the same
hey /biz/ anyone here ever done any drop shipping? I'm getting into it and freelancing out random people from bangladesh, I want to make it so I have to do as little as possible. how?
Its all I do every day. I work with 4 wholesalers who blind ship for me. I take a phone call, put the order into the vendor website, and invoice. Business to business is the only way to go
>>1042783
how long have you been doing it?
has it been profitable?
do you outsource most of the work?
>>1042783
I started with DropShip Domination, then I just used elance to hire random people to create listings for me with inkfrog. I pay like $1 per listing. I need a better distributor than amazon.
any experience with DOBA.com as a supplier?
Is STEM just a meme?

No OP, college itself is the meme.
