Perhaps, but I do think we should defend the stupid from predators and predatory behaviors.

Takes money to make money. What's the break-even point? That 300k is a one time cost; that 50k is recurring yearly.

I guess the question should be why would you spend 300k at USC to make 50k, when you could spend 50k somewhere else to make the same 50k.

Or spend $0 to make 50k.
